505 Gamestreet To Publish Bust-A-Move DS

505 Gamestreet has announced that they will publish Taito's Bust-A-Move DS in the United Kingdom.

505 Gamestreet is delighted to announce today that it is publishing two brand-new titles in the massive-selling Bust-A-Move series in the UK: Bust-A-Move Ghost for PSP and Bust-A-Move DS for the Nintendo DS, in both cases the first time the popular puzzle game has appeared on the next-generation handheld formats. As such, the two titles offer players a whole range of new modes and features that are only now possible thanks to the technological leap offered by the new handheld hardware.

Utilising the DS's touch-screen, Bust-A-Move DS revolutionises the classic Bust-A-Move gameplay by allowing players to use the bottom screen to "fling" bubbles into the play area using Bub and Bob's funky new catapult, rather than the classic cannon. Touch the screen with the stylus or even your finger to select the angle and trajectory of your shot, then fire away as fast as your fingers can work. The new slingshot system means there's no more waiting for the cannon to rotate into position, resulting in faster and much more frantic play. But don't worry if you're a Bust-A-Move purist – you can choose to play using the classic control pad set up if you like your Bust-A-Move a bit more traditional.

Other new features include a "quick swap" function, where a bubble is always held in reserve in addition to the bubble in play, allowing you to switch in a second at any point. This allows for increased strategy and therefore more exciting ways to bust the bubbles in the play area. Multiplayer matches pitch you against up to four other players wirelessly, using just one copy of the game. The popular Classic mode returns, along with all-new puzzle missions to keep you on your toes and there are eight insane new characters to meet.

Bust-A-Move DS, developed by Taito, releases on 24th February, priced £29.99.

  I bought it a couple days ago($20)...I wish Majesco wasn't having financial problems--it's really dificult tracking their games down in the US.

  Yep i got the US version for £15 as Ray pointed out it was only $20 on release. So once again we get screwed over. The game is not worth £29.99 as its lacking high score saves and a story mode, the presentation is a bit meh also. However the new touch system works very very well.
