Touhou Spell Bubble is a versus puzzle game which combines Puzzle Bobble-style orb shooting with rhythm elements
When it happened, it was just the same old, same old. I remember Marisa looking proud of herself as she held it, hot off the presses. She was like, "It's a new invention created by the magician trio representing Gensokyo! It's for a portable game console that you operate using Spirit Power! At the time I thought, wow, she must be really bored...and maybe she was. But when I turned it on, a wondrous scene unfolded before my eyes. I remember thinking, wow, that's a lot of bubbles popping around. And then she was like, "Ah-hah! Bubbles!" She seemed to understand what was going on. At the time, I went through the motions, or just watched Marisa play. But I didn't really think much of it other than, "Well, this is weird." However, in time, once this game really took off in Gensokyo, I came to realiaze it's a major breakthrough in gameplay. Even in a peaceful place like this. I sometimes feel like I'm in a feverish delirium, seeing things like storms that aren't really there. Even with a particular omen, you have to strain your eyes hard to see it. Sometimes it's nothing more than a little ripple in the air. Looking back now, it wasn't really signs of a major upheaval... In a way, it might have just been a little calm before the "storm" that Gensokyo hasn't seen before... Or something like that.

On easy mode, you deal more damage, take less damage, your status effects have a higher chance to work and the experience penalty on killing enemies at a lower level is reduced. You can also now refight the final boss whenever you want during the expansion, which means that Kagami's Hyper Fang Crush is no longer permanently missable and can be learned by Satori whenever you want.
