I want some Blob (A Boy and his Blob Wii)

[demen999]

This looks soo freakin sick. I loved the NES game, and if they keep it "real" this is going to be too awesome.



If it isn't ok to post mags here, let me know.

WayForward developed the superb Contra 4 on DS, so I have a feeling this one will hold true to the original.

Wonder if they'll include a glitch that'll let you finish the game in under 4 minutes.

I played the DSI proto of the DS version, I can't wait for some new blob!

That looks great. I hope the gameplay can match the polish of the visuals.

AHHHHHH!!!!! I'm so pumped for this i love the original game i have no less than 3 boxed copies plus an open beat up copy for playing. The music has literally been stuck in my head for 15 years i find myself whistling it saying... whats that tune where did this come from. I really hope they have some cool remixes of the original tune.

I was never really good at the game, but that didn't stop it from being one of my childhood favorites. Bring on the blob!

if you can beat the original in 4 minutes id suggest filming that and sending it to a speed run site because i think the current record is somewhere around 8-10 minutes even using those respawn glitches and coconut tricks.

Great, a reason to turn on my Wii! Does David Crane have anything to do with the remake?

[CosmicMonkey]

The videos of the Wii version look really nice. This is the sort of thing that I'd be more than happy to sit down and play with my kids.

If we're fortunate enough, no.

[dairugger]

is this for the wiiware, or will i be able to add it to my collection?

It seems like it will be retail since there isn't no mention of WiiWare. If it's a big game, they would've mentioned it by now no?

[demen999]

Ok so it's a totoally new game. I thought it was a remake, see below for the producers words:

We want to make sure people know this is not a remake! It’s not Resident Evil GC, it’s not Metroid Zero Mission. It’s a whole new game that is more “inspired by” the original than anything else. - Robb Alvey, Producer

I cannot tell you how many hours I spent playing and replaying this game. I'm extremely exicted, this will be my first actual wii purchase since SSBB.

[HYB]

I love the fact that old franchises are visited again. Can't wait for this one, I love the original.

[MrSparkle]

whoa that is a crazy speed run ive never seen that last trick going into that glitch space. but overall that run doesnt seem quite legit where are all the enemies on blobonia i didnt see him do anything to make them not show up.
