ININ Games has partnered with Taito once more to bring Parasol Stars to all three major consoles in a digital release for 2023.  Serving as both a sequel to Rainbow Islands and the third installment of the Bubble Bobble series, this 1991 title is one of the more overlooked games in the franchise as you take on a whole new set of challenges. The game was initially released for platforms like TurboGrafx and the Amiga, but now modern consoles will have a chance to experience it. We don't have a date yet, just the knowledge it will be released before the end of 2023. Until then, enjoy the trailer and info below.

"In this captivating platformer by Taito, players follow the adventures of two brothers. They embark on a mission to save their neighboring planets from an evil menace. Instead of shooting bubbles, they are now armed with colorful, dazzling parasols with magical powers. These parasols are also used to shield against enemy attacks, stun foes or unleash a torrent of high-scoring stars! Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III is loaded with power-ups that could mean the difference between a sweet win or a crushing defeat! Toss a bomb and blast your enemies to smithereens, or freeze time with a clock that's all yours to command. But don't get too comfy, or Death will sneak up on you and swipe one of your precious lives! Harness the power of the parasol and show off your skills in this epic adventure!"
