Bust-A-Move Deluxe, part of the popular puzzle series, hits Playstation Portable shelves today. For a MSRP of $39.99, Majesco's bubble-popping game offers 500 unique puzzles and four new, PSP-exclusive game modes playable with another four new characters. Two multiplayer modes round up the experience, which "remains true to the series’ classic puzzle gameplay while adding new features exclusive to the PSP system". Just marketing talk or a real refreshment? It's obvious that rehashing the same game over and over again won't be as easy now that handheld games achieve home console-like qualities and depth.

Expect the reviews to clear up if this game can still stand the test of time after one decade.

Majesco Games presented us with a promising trailer for Bust-A-Move on the PSP. While it will also be making an appearance on the DS, this footage is clearly from the PSP version. In it, we get a good look at a seesaw type puzzle in which an imbalanced puzzle could mean game over for careless gamers.

Majesco Games released 4 screenshots of their upcoming PSP title Bust-A-Move Deluxe, which is planned for release in the US April 3, 2006. Although it's been out in Japan for quite some time now, the US version is sporting a totally new look and will hopefully include some new features. The Bust-A-Move series has been around for an incredibly long time now, and if the developers keep releasing new titles with little innovation like they have been doing recently it won't be around much longer.

Dreams Interactive has released a new batch of screenshots for their upcoming release of Bust-A-Move Ghost for the PSP. The game introduces a new Ghost mode that includes a tricky new Ghost bubble and a Heart meter to pay attention to for an enhanced experience.

   

   

Outside of Ghost mode, the classic addictive bubble popping fun is taken to the extreme with over 1000 addictive new puzzles to beat and four new games including Running Launcher, Mix ’Em Up Double Shot and Time Warp, all of which are exclusive to PSP.

   

   

Wireless multiplayer (ad-hoc mode) is supported and there are six new Bust-A-Move characters introduced to the mix, including two unlockable puzzle maniacs.
