A Boy and His Blob Remake for Wiiware
Once in awhile, Nintendo Power will get an exlusive preview of something that just comes out of nowhere. This is one of those cases. A Boy and His Blob, which hasn’t had a new game in the series since the Game Boy version if I’m not mistaken, is finally getting the sequel remake that we’ve been waiting for.
Okay, so it’s not a full on sequel, but at least it’ll increase the interest for this incredibly unique game. And if there was ever a game that needed to be remade, it’s this one. I mean, how far have you actually gotten in the original game? It’s so confusing!
Oh, and Wayforward, developer of the phenomenal Contra 4 and Lit, is developing it, so you can expect a high quality product.

I absolutely hated the NES game (even moreso the s***-tastic GB version). Wayforward will have to perform a miracle for me to pick this up.

I’ll get it just because it’s so damn pretty.

The screens of this made me smile
I’ve never played the NES game so I don’t know much about it, hopefully it plays as pretty as it looks.

I wonder how they’ll streamline it for the new generation of gamers. The art really is quite nice though. Rarely any noteworthy 2D games anymore. Nice to see a recognizable brand carrying the torch.

reminds me of a similar art style to the Mother/Earthbound series

This game isn’t a remake. It’s a sequel. The producer said so in a recent interview with IGN. So, even more reasons to be excited!

There was a DS remake that was mercifully killed a few years ago.
