I completely fail to see the negative point in this.

But I'm wearing my nostalgia goggles 24/7

Post by: Police Girl on March 03, 2009, 10:12:48 PM: A new Boy and His blob for Wii, eh? Guess it makes up for the lack of a (Promised but Cancelled) DS game.

Post by: Acid on March 03, 2009, 10:15:40 PM: Now that I think about it, SBahB could make some interesting use of the Wiimote. Will all the shapes and forms Blob can take.
Title: Re: "A Boy and His Blob" announced for Wii
Post by: Gaia on March 03, 2009, 10:20:02 PM: So many series revivals recently. Most likely due to the lack of good games recently, plus the huge amount of remakes in movies to compete with them..

Wow..

I think this is the best part of everything honestly. Developers imo are really underwhelming with Wiimote applications. With something like this, it's easy to get hyped since it could promise a whole lot more for how games can be designed to be fun around the remote.

Keep in mind I only say this because of my own crazy thoughts on the matter, but it is a valid point. XD

Of course, the game needs to be good.

Hello? What about Jelly Beans?! Jelly Belly could stand to really collect! 8D

But any way, you wouldn't have been the first to think as such. "BrentalFloss" (the youtube game music minstrel) already thought of such...check out that one vid that talked about his fave unsung tunes....

Hey, I take him to get Lemon Ices and Soda Floats, and he doesn't transform! I'm being jipped!

You know, between this and the recent Wii Punch Out classic controls announcement, it's been a pretty good day!
