The original arcade cartridge (MVS) version famously didn't get an official home AES cartridge release; the Neo Geo CD port in 1995 was the primary official SNK home release before later console ports.

Unlike heavier 2D Neo Geo CD fighting games, Puzzle Bobble loads almost instantly (~8 seconds initial load) with virtually no in-game loading screens, making it one of the most seamless CD ports on the hardware.
