Dig Deeper into A Boy and His Blob

A Boy and His Blob, a two-dimensional puzzle-platformer for the Nintendo Wii, has been referred to as "inspired by" and a "rebirth" of the now twenty-year-old original rather than a straightforward remake.

US Release Date: Oct. 13, 2009

For a second when I saw the title I read "A Boy and his Blowjob". O_o
 
This game oozes with charm. As for that hug button? EVERY game should have one.

I saw a "Bob and his Job."

Hardcore blob hugging action.  Better age-gate this ish, son.

Game could easily be GOTY

Lol at the Ocarina of Time reference.

Fine! I'll get a God damn Wii already. Fine!

It almost looks like they were trying to take A Boy and his Blob's game play and emulate Braid's art style/vibe with it.
 
I mean, the two games are vaguely similar.

This game looks pretty neat. Very Maple Story styled graphics.

I feel like I've been waiting for this game longer than it's actually been in development.
I don't believe I'll be disappointed. :)  Moai head!! Sweeeet.  
 
I hope they'll put the NES version on VC soon.  Business was Milon's Secret Castle hardcore.

This definitely looks like a game to play with a girlfriend or something. super cute!

fuck this game looks like fun

Looks great... Love the animation... Another mark for the Wii in my decision on getting one of them or a PS3...

New drinking game. Take a shot every time Vinny says "aww" and try not to get alcohol poisoning.

I just keep imagining this as a 2D version of The Maw. That's a good thing.
And it just makes me want to shout in a high pitched voice, "Blob? BLOOOOOOOOOOOOB!"

@MattBodega: More like The Maw is a 3D version of A Boy and His Blob.

Impossible my good sir!

okay so the blob boy is brother to Sophie from the lucidity-Nanna game and Tim from Braid is their adoptive parent?

I can't believe someone decided to remake A Boy and His Blob, one of the worst games of all time. A real good example of the half-assed flood the market with anything nature of the 80's, the soundtrack of the game even featured an astoundingly long pause between the looping of its grainy beeping off-beat jumble of sounds. Why anyone would think to touch this game again, I don't know. But I have to say, it does look charming.

When he hugged the blob and Vinny exclaimed I lol'd so hard. hahahaha
