A Boy And His Blob Resurrected (Wii)

[AntiFreze]

Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced a boy and his blob for Wii. a boy and his blob first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and won numerous awards shortly after its debut in 1989. Developed by WayForward, acclaimed developers of Contra 4 and Shantae, the rebirth of this classic title expands upon the original platform adventure. Featuring groundbreaking hand drawn and painted animation technology, the all-new presentation provides a polished, cinematic feel.

"When a boy and his blob first appeared in 1989, it captured the imagination of gamers everywhere with its heartwarming storyline and unique gameplay," said Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations, Majesco Entertainment. "Twenty years later, we are proud to bring an updated - yet still charming - reimagining of this beloved title to a new generation of Wii players."

In a boy and his blob, an evil emperor has seized the throne of Blobolonia, and the fate of its inhabitants lies in the hands of the blob and a young boy he encounters when he crash lands on Earth. Playing the part of the boy, gamers must work together with their new blob friend to solve puzzles, defeat monsters, and escape danger on Earth and Blobolonia. By feeding the blob jelly beans, players can activate his special abilities to transform him into helpful tools ? including a ladder, trampoline, parachute, cannon, shield and many more. Every different blob form aids the boy as he navigates 40 side-scrolling levels filled with hidden treasures and unlockable bonus content on the way to the Emperor's Citadel. Classic beans such as Licorice Ladder, Apple Jack, and Tangerine Trampoline, are joined by all-new jellybeans, including Bubble Gum Bubble and Caramel Cannon to provide a brand new play experience that only Wii can provide!

This is pretty cool.

This is actually what I would like to see more of...the hand-painted look. Braid, Castle Crashers, and now A Boy and His Blog all look gorgeous. There's just a certain level of charm that hand-painted games have that can't be replicated.

this is the only game my mom can remember the name of that i played regularly on the NES, probably because it was the only one she watched me play a lot (other than dr. mario, which i played with her)

Now with video! I'd link to the IGN article directly, but they don't embed their videos which is extremely annoying (to me, anyway).
