Critical Ī Next Generation critic gave the game a rave review, calling it "One of the most addictive puzzle games in the arcades right now". In the United Kingdom, it was among the nineteen best-selling PlayStation games of 1996, according to HMV. Game Machine also listed Puzzle Bobble 2X on their 1 February 1996 issue as being the ninth most-successful arcade game of the month. In Japan, Game Machine listed Puzzle Bobble 2 on their 15 October 1995 issue as being the fourth most-successful arcade game of the month. The game was showcased at JAMMA 95 along with Dangerous Curves and Gekirindan. The later MS-DOS and Nintendo 64 releases from Acclaim would use the proper cover art used on the PAL releases. This cover earned a place on GameSpy's Top Ten Worst Covers list, with journalist Kevin Bowen pointing out that the disturbing imagery was likely to frighten away the game's young target audience. Instead, possibly due to a mix-up by Acclaim's marketing department, the North American release of both Saturn and PlayStation editions uses the main art from the advertisement as their cover art. The shots of the game packaging in the lower right corner of the ad show that the North American release of the game was to use the same cover art as the PAL release. In North America, print advertisements for the Saturn and PlayStation editions featured a picture of several large blue balls with human faces trapped inside, moaning in apparent agony, with white sticks forcing their eyes open. A port of 2X was made to the PlayStation but was not released until some time after a port of Bust-A-Move 2 was released, and didn't see an international release. Ports of Bust-A-Move 2 to MS-DOS and Sega Saturn are of Bust-A-Move 2X and additionally include a level editor/designer. Taito later repacked the game with an optional alternative set of levels and some new attract mode animations (including holiday-themed ones), under the titles Puzzle Bobble 2X and Bust-A-Move 2X. This emulation error was fixed in 2006 - although not before it appeared in Taito Legends 2. If this version was played in an emulator, it would have the Japanese audio, although the music would cut out in some levels. These changes were only made for the Taito F3 System version, since the Neo Geo and console releases are based on the original Japanese version. The audio was also changed, and the voices in the game were removed, even though they were in English anyway. The backgrounds from the original version were also removed and replaced with 15 new backgrounds, but this also means that the backgrounds get looped in the Puzzle mode, which is 30 stages long. CPU mode were removed and replaced with a generic computer. Also, the characters that were in the Vs. One of the most major changes in this version is that Bub and Bob were removed from the game and replaced with a pair of disembodied hands. The North American version of the original arcade release is much different than the other versions. The various enemies from Bubble Bobble also make an appearance in the background of the credits sequence.

Some versions of the game, including the PlayStation, feature time trial competitions in which a single player attempts to finish simple rounds quickly enough to beat previous time records or two players simultaneously attempt to beat the records and each other.Ĭompletion of the single player game gives the player a code which can be entered to unlock 'Another World' for the single player game, which features subtle changes to the existing levels to increase their difficulty and changes to all backdrops to resemble levels from Bubble Bobble. Some of the contestants in the new tournament mode are based on characters from Bubble Bobble, including variations on a Monsta and a Mighta. The game builds on the original by adding a tournament style variation on the two player game for play against the computer and by adding a branching map to the one player game, allowing the player to periodically select one of two groups of five levels to play next, leading to different game endings.
Further ports for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, is scheduled for a February 2023 release by City Connection alongside Puzzle Bobble 3.
