Way back in July last year, we reported that Taito’s Parasol Stars was heading to consoles courtesy of retro publisher ININ Games. We were super excited to bring this news being such fans of Bubble Bobble, with this being the third main game in the series. Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III will be released digitally on July 11th for Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Those wanting to add this platform classic to their physical collection can still pre-order Switch and PlayStation copies from Strictly Limited Games. There is a choice between standard and special editions as well as an art card to round off the celebration of this excellent release. And of course, we will bring you a full review as soon as we can.
