Not mame versions, but the best little handheld available since game & watch!
First up, I love bubble bobble. This only thing I love more than bubble bobble is a rainbow islands. And this little unit has both games plus a BB2 or bubble symphony.I had hoped this would be a mame version of the games given this would not be a stretch of technology nowadays, but alas the versions seem to be an NES or master system port of the games. For BB, this is fine. The game plays brilliantly, all the codes are there. Even the lost caves... but for Rainbow Islands, this is disappointing as the version is a paired back and has slight lag in the music and gameplay when too many sprites on screen. But this is a small gripe for such a great value unit.The screen is sharp, the speaker is fair enough (although headphones work best), the battery life is never ending(it seems) and the buttons/joystick are very usable. The only issue is the bubble decals on the front have already started to wear after a few hours play.I live Ín the UK, so I imported both this and the arcade machine version as MyArcade only make the machines available in the US at present. Defiantly worth it.Given I have both units, I find it hard to choose which is best. But as this has 3 games and is more portable then this unit is great for on the go.Great work to MyArcade on this!

Bubble bobble/Rainbow Islands handheld review
The My Arcade port of Bubble Bobble is pretty good. It's the NES version of the game.The Rainbow Islands port is also the NES version (so no "somewhere over the rainbow" music). You can either play it using a plug in mini USB or 4 batteries. It doesn't hold a charge like a phone or other game systems, so that was a minor disappointment. Overall, if you want a decent version of original Rainbow Islands that's portable, this is your best bet.One caviat is the Bubble Bobble 2 is very glitchy. It has a two player mode for some reason.The volume control goes from no sound to loud.The graphics are pretty good given the size of the screen. The games are all in full color, which is both a blessing and a curse. Some levels of Rainbow Islands where there are multiple enemies the same color as the background prove difficult. But this game is beautiful, just like my old NES.The controls do lag a bit on all the games. There are no triple rainbows or reverse scrolling on Rainbow Islands. Some of the level gravity in bubble bobble is awkward.This item is a great price for anyone who wants to play bubble bobble on the go without paying for a GBA or a DS.

This one is worth buying
This is fantastic and neat that it has both bubble bobble games and the sequel rainbow island. Kinda hard to find games and decent ports to boot. Out of these my arcade devices this is the clear winner.

Fantastic after replacement!
First unit only lasted 1 month, then screen stopped working, seller replaced unit with no drama and I haven't had an issue since.

Brings back memories
This was one of my favorite games growing up from Nintendo. The game is exactly the same without the power to save or using a password code to return to the level you were on. But it's the same fun games as I played as a kid. Hours of entertainment. Love it

Bubble Bobble + Rainbow Islands is the Best!!!
As someone who grew-up playing the original Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands games, I couldn’t be more impressed! The graphics are simple but true to the original games. The device is small, but perfect for throwing in a small bag or in your back pocket. I am truly so happy with the Bubble Bobble + Rainbow Islands combo, that I am tempted to purchase a second one to put away, just incase this one ever breaks or stops working. This is by far a must have game!!!
