Thread: A Boy and His Blob

  1. A Boy and His Blob

    For the Wii

    From Joystiq.

    Remember earlier today when we revealed the first image of A Boy and His Blob from Nintendo Power's exclusive story? Well, we lied a little bit when we said that the pixelated image you saw then wasn't going to be revealed until March 5. No folks, we got the full details (well, the first full page of details at least) early from our good buddies at Nintendo Power, and are happy to report that A Boy and His Blob looks to recreate all the enjoyment you had with the original.

    Jellybean-related gameplay and the game's story are back for a second run in the Majesco-published, WayForward-developed Wii game and it's set to hit retailers this Fall, according to the NP piece. WayForward, known for recent WiiWare horror/puzzler LIT and technologically impressive Shantae for Game Boy Color, will be hand-drawing all the (yes, 2D) visuals. It's also adding to the original's defensive and puzzle-solving jellybeanery with beans that turn your blob into various offensive items (some examples given are anvil dropping and ground removing). If you want more details (and an interview with the game's director) you'll just have to wait until you get your grubby little mitts on the April issue of Nintendo Power.

  3. Low already put it in the Wii thread. Oh well. Mine has a nice picture.

    It is for the Wii, so there is 0% possibility that it will be anything other than shovelware.

  5. If those are actual screens from the game, then this is full on awesome.

  7. the power of a beautiful friendship will make this game the best.

  8. Not my kind of thing, but that's a pretty inspired revamp of the art style. I hope it does well if for no other reason.

    The NES original never clicked with me despite being a big fan of Crane's earlier games. This new one looks awesome, much nicer than that cancelled DS sequel.

    Contra 4, however, doesn't exist?
