Description

This sequel to Battle Flip Shot refines the previous game's formula. It stays a high-speed battle Pong game like the original, but adds a new condition for KOing the opponent: each player's goal zone is protected by an impenetrable laser field, which stays in place until player takes out all of the stars in front of it by hitting them with the ball. Only then can the player win the match by knocking the ball into the opponent's goal zone. This adds a new comeback mechanism, letting even players who have lost all their stars win the match. Each character has three primary actions: the A button lets the player shove the ball forward; the B button performs a volleyball-style dash in the direction the stick is pointed; and the C button lets the player use a unique super move if they've built up enough super meter.

Trivia

Rarity

Bang Bead was one of two Visco-developed games being considered for release in 2000, alongside Bang² Busters. Ultimately only Bang Bead saw a release, which was very limited and exclusively distributed in Europe. This release was so scarce that, when it first surfaced, it was rumoured to be a leaked prototype and not an official release; this rumour was dispelled once full kits began to surface, but to this day certain websites still incorrectly label it a prototype.
