800MS points is ridiculous when it translates to about £7. I'm happy with the original.

I remember playing this on my Commodore 64. What a fucking awesome game. LOL.

Looks like a direct port of the WiiWare version. I wish they'd have gone for sprite based characters, but in motion it actually doesn't look too terrible.

Didn't know the original did it too. I always thought of the NES version, indeed. Mh, I guess you never stop learning.

But I looked up some arcade screens on Google, and it's not as awkward as this. Maybe because it's a lot more noticeable with HD graphics.

About the perspective thing: the original Bubble Bobble arcade game (which this is a remake of) does the same thing, as do Bubble Symphony and Bubble Memories. I'd understand if the perspective view looks awkward to you if you're more familiar with the NES version…

Also, these are 3D models.

I usually don't mind HD remakes, but… you're right. It's ugly.

And what's the point of doing a perspective vision on the levels, if you're gonna use 2D sprites anyway? It just makes everything look awkward. The charas look like they are standing on the edge of the screen.
