A Boy and His Blob getting remake for the Wii |
Ó
Those of you who are unfortunate enough to be too young to know this
game will have a chance to redeem themselves. The classic 1989 game, A Boy and His Blob, is getting a remake for the Wii in celebration of the game's 20th anniversary. The studio who took up the task of making the remake is Majesco Entertainment, the studio behind Cooking Mama and Psychonauts.
Majesco tried to resurrect the game before for the DS, but that project was canceled due to financial trouble for the studio. It may be for the best though, since the Wii remake sounds way better. According to the press release, the Wii remake will feature "groundbreaking hand drawn and painted animation technology, the all-new presentation provides a polished, cinematic feel."
In case you didn't guess yet, A Boy and His Blob is about a story about... a boy and his blob. The blob, named Blobert, has the odd ability of being able to transform into various objects depending on what kind of jellybean you feed him. He can turn into a ladder if you feed him a licorice jelly bean, for instance. Together, they have to travel to Blobert's planet of Blobolonia to defeat the evil emperor. Oooooh.

i am 26 and i have Never seen this game before =P
I had like 80 games for my NES and from what i remember i did not see any ads for this when i was a Kid =P
It's a bit of an obscure cult classic, but it's an awesome game and hard as hell.
This is fantastic news. A Boy and His Blob is a great, challenging game. I hope they can pull this off and do the classic justice.
Love original games (that get remakes!).. This game popped up a couple weeks ago in a conversation, I'm not sure why, but I'm excited for it!
This game was awesome !!! Can anyone else remember the cheat On the original?? Right at the start If you gave him a cola jelly bean and flew him to the left you could fly him straight to His home land Blobolonia lol OHHH The fun I Almost got messy Pants...
it really was a hard game, i believe it was on Gameboy as well, can't wait to see it in action
i never beat it.... i'm almost 23 now so i was pretty young when I played this. I could never remember which jellybeans did what so i ran out so many times lmao!
That game sucked ass. If you don't remember, play it on an emulator. Probably the only reason it gets a remake is because the licensing is cheap as hell, as will be the budget for another crap Wii game.
No, I'm not pessimistic....
I was hoping the DS version would get picked up again too.
Maybe if the Wii version is successful they'll consider finishing and releasing it. I'd really like to play it.
