ININ Games and Taito Corporation have confirmed a release date for Parasol Superstars on Nintendo Switch.
Ready to deliver “a double dose of platforming nostalgia and charm,” this collection bundles bubble-blasting adventure Parasol Stars with the cosmic platformer Spica Adventure.
Parasol Stars was originally released as the third entry in the Bubble Bobble series, with fan-favourite characters Bubby and Bobby adventuring on a whirlwind quest across fantastical worlds, wielding magical parasols.
Whereas Spica Adventure stars Nico, a fearless girl who explores the stars. Previously made available as a Japan-only mobile game before later hitting arcades, it now receives its first-ever western release, complete with enhancements and extras.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Two complete platforming adventures
- The classic Parasol Stars, faithfully restored with modern enhancements
- Spica Adventure, finally making its home console and Western debut plus modern enhancements and features
- Optimised for modern platforms with controller support and quality-of-life features
- Local 2-player co-op in Parasol Stars
- A Special Edition contains bonus content such as a History Artbook and a Best of Soundtrack of both games
Parasol Superstars will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 16 September 2025.
