My Arcade Pocket Player Handheld Game Console: 3 Built in Games, Bubble Bobble 1 & 2, Rainbow Islands, Collectible, Full Color Display, Speaker, Volume Controls, Headphone Jack, Battery or Micro USB

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!

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.

I have managed to collect all of the My Arcade Pocket Games and mini replicas. This is a fun one but I certainly think the conversion could have been better. I would have preferred the screen to show all of the original size of the background. It is a shrunk down version. Still fun and a good quality item.

Love this game. Brings back memories of old school days. I think it will be a great gift for individuals from the 80s 90s who grew up playing this. This is way better than the phone app game version of this.

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.

Crappy product dont waist your money i sent mine back

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!!!

Overall, I love this handheld. I played Bubble Bobble (NES) endlessly as a kid, even 2 player by myself so I could reach the try ending. This handheld includes a port of the NES version, along with BB2 and Rainbow Islands. That's a lot for the price! I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice to have the arcade version, but this is still great as is. I have BB on Game Gear which is closer to the arcade, and it does look nicer visually and has a lot more complexity that makes the game play more fun. I've encountered one issue that I've already been in contact with the manufacturer about. Playing BB2, I had the game freeze up completely after my bubble dragon got murdered. The only thing that worked was the reset button, which meant I lost all game progress. So far it's only happened once, but it would be nice to not have the issue at all. According to the manufacturer, this prompted them to test a bunch of the units they have on hand, and they could not recreate the problem. They also said that if I ever run into it again, they'll gladly replace the unity. So hopefully, it's just a fluke—certainly not a reason to avoid purchasing this fantastic handheld of a legendary game.

Impeccable merci

Il prodotto è ottimo. La console permette di giocare alla versione per NES di Bubble Bobble, a Rainbow Island e Bubble Bobble Part 2. Attenzione alle batterie: richiede 4 batterie AAA (in questo momento in cui sto scrivendo la recensione, la descrizione dice che richiede 4 batterie AA).

Love Rainbow island amazing game and the music bubble bobble is great too. 4 triple AAA batteries last ages in the game

とても良い物でした。 まず箱ですが本のようになっていて上だけ開くようになってます。本の表紙のようになってるので特に引っかかりもありません。これでは閉じないのでは？と思ったのですが磁石が付いていてちゃんと閉まります。 （本体を出すには横のテープを剥がすかカッターなどで切る必要があります） 本体に関しては電源を入れるとMyArcadeのロゴが表示されます。だいたい2秒程でしょうか。ゲームを変更する際リセットボタンを押すのですが、その度にロゴが表示されるのでちょっとウザかったりします。 操作性はすごく良いです。ボタンは高さが低いので押しやすく触り心地も良かったです。十字キーは左右しか必要のないゲームなので移動でひっかかる事はありません。 個人的には単四電池（4本）で動くのがとても気に入りました

Qué maravilla de máquina… con los bubble Booble que se jugaban en las recreativas por 25 pesetas… que tiempos… A mi hijo le encanta.
