DimensionWarped Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 http://kotaku.com/5163631/a-boy-and-his-blob-return-to-wii To be honest, I never liked the original. Doesn't help that I didn't play it until like 1998 and it helps less that it looked more like a Commodore 64 game than an NES game... but I couldn't deny that it had a certain character to it that made me want to play it. If a somewhat more casualized Blob is on its way, I'm hopping on board that train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Holy shit, this game looks fanfuckingtastic. http://www.destructoid.com/a-boy-and-his-blob-gorgeous-screens-details-squeals-of-delight-123685.phtml And on top of that, it's made by WayForward, who made the awesome Contra 4 on the DS. This is going to be a great retro revival. I came five times. Speaking of retro revivals, Punch-Out!! is confirmed to use NES-style controls as well as motion controls. So it's nice to hear that game isn't going to be doomed either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoshi Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Awesome! More revivals. Classic Mega Man, Punch-Out, Contra, and now this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 The art style reminds me of Winnie the Pooh, hahah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 If it was more washed-out the art would so look like a more childish version of Braid. But anyway, awesome stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Rat Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Looks pretty good. I just hope the add some sort of fadeout animation when you pick up a chest. Them just vanishing into thin air looks ugly compared to the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
