Gameplay footage for A Boy And His Blob

[Kemiroch]

I'm really looking forward to this game. Back in the late 80s, my cousins had the NES and I was stuck with a C4 (which they also had first). They only about 5 games though, one of which was A Boy and His Blob. I'd play that thing for hours!

This new adaptation looks incredible. I'm really looking forward to trying all the new puzzle-solving elements. The jelly bean mechanic just seems tailor made for puzzle gameplay. The one thing I am concerned about, and I hope it is just a product of it being an unfinished version of the game, is that you only seem to have a few different types of jelly beans available at any given time. I can understand that it might be helpful to younger players to only have access to the beans they will need for a level, but I like having to figure out which ones I need to use and how. The big signs with a picture of exactly what you need the blob to do seem a little obvious too. Maybe it is just the introductory levels or something.

Anyway, despite the huge paragraph above, I am psyched about this game. The Wii looks to be getting some good stuff soon!

The original was one of my favorite games on the NES and remains so to this day. I was stoked when I heard an updated version would be released on the DS, and disappointed when it was canceled soon after announcement.

I can't wait for the Wii release in Oct...The trailers look awesome.

I didn't know that there a ds version planned, that would have been awesome .
