Bust a Move?

ragingmime · 01-11-2003, 01:44 PM

Not to be picky, but I noticed that the forum's description lists Bust a Move as a rhythm game. Isn't that the puzzle game with the bubbles and dinosaurs and stuff? Do they mean "Bust a Groove"?

The lowdown on Bust A Move:
In Japan, the creators of what we know as Bust A Move named the game according to its characters taken from Bubble Bobble and put them into a puzzle game; thus in Japan, the game is known as Puzzle Bobble. When domesticated for American sales, Taito changed the name to Bust A Move to Make it more marketable to the American audiance.
Now, for the dancing game we know as Bust A Groove, the game was created in Japan and released under the name Bust A Move. When the game was ported over to the U.S., the name had to be changed because, of course, there was already a game titled Bust A Move, so the name was changed to Bust A Groove.
Usually people who have been playing these games since they were released, like me, refer to the games as Puzzle Bobble and Bust A Move (sometimes refered to as BAM) respectively. When you go to buy Bust A Groove soundtracks, they are still entitled by the Japanese name Bust A Move.
There's the backstory as to why Bust a Groove is refered to as Bust A Move. If it's confusing people I can change it ^_^

Ooohkay. I think that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

**nestlekwik** · 01-14-2003, 03:45 PM

No problem.
So, does any one happen to play Bust A Groove?
I can't be the only one...

I play Bust a groove.

Its very good isnt it?

I've played Bust a groove, it was my first into music gaming sims, but when I heard the U.S. might be releasing Bust a groove 2 I was psyched but the project to develope it for U.S. use was a bust and I was pretty bummed after that...
It wasn't until I came across Guitaroo man that I have suddenly found myself returning to the music sims that I found awesome. Which also includes Dance Dance Revolution and many others. Are there any other Music sim games out for ps one that anyone knows of?

Well you do have Parappa and Um Jammer Lammy. There was recently a new music game release for PS1 that I saw in the latest OPM, but I haven't tried it out. There's also the MTV Music Generator (not really a game). And there are a few games who have little music-game type mini-games. Unless you can import games, the PS1 isn't too music game friendly.

OutlawLunarX · 04-1-2003, 10:16 PM

Sounds kinda confusing I'll just stick to my basic games...thanks for the responce though i appreciated it
