If you're a fan of competitive puzzlers then ACA NeoGeo: Puzzle Bobble is a fun albeit simplistic old-school entry in the genre. Because it's the first game in the series, don't expect to see many bells and whistles after giving it a download.

Addictive. Currently my fourteenth most played game on the Nintendo Switch.

While it may lack gameplay variety, Puzzle Bobble is a veritable arcade classic. The concept is easy enough for a novice to enjoy, but high scores and single credit playthroughs demand precision and skill. Easy enough to play “one more game” for hours. And the music is catchy beyond belief.

Puzzle Bobble is one of the grandaddies of match 3 games, and it's still influential today. It's also still very much worth playing. This conversion is historically accurate and technically competent.

Americans may know this game better by its localized name, Bust-a-Move. Puzzle Bobble is probably a better title, as it features the same characters and baddies from the beloved classic Bubble Bobble. At any rate, this is a delightful puzzle-action game with a competitive element in the form of local two-player head-to-head. Be warned: in the later stages, the game switches to a rapidly-moving background element that I found dizzying and discomforting to the point that I couldn't continue. Oh well!
