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:
- Arcade Classic Reborn: Experience a Japan-only title on consoles for the very first time
- A Kaleidoscope of Colour: Delightful, vibrant 2D visuals bursting with personality
- Dynamic Parasol Gameplay: Attack, defend, glide, and reflect with a single versatile tool
- Choose Your Path: Explore 28 stages across branching routes for high replayability
- Online Leaderboards: Compete with players around the world for the highest scores
- Legendary Sound: Groove to energetic tracks by TAITO’s iconic sound team, ZUNTATA
Parasol Superstars will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 14 April 2026.
