Bubble Bobble coming to GBA

Empire is bringing Bubble Bobble to the GBA under the guise of "Bubble Bobble - Old and New". The game will follow the original arcade game closely, whilst drawing a certain amount of inspiration from the 1989 sequel Rainbow Islands. No firm release date has been announced, but Empire is hoping to have it out and available by the end of the year, and failing that, in early 2003.
