Never played the original, but (good) classic revivals are always a good thing :)


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

I completely fail to see the negative point in this.

But I'm wearing my nostalgia goggles 24/7

You think this is the big news? Check this out -- WayForward is doing the game, I repeat WayForward of LIT, Contra 4 & [chameleon sting]ing Shantae fame is doing this one. Get hype. XD

People are describing this game as a beauty by the way. Apparently, it's in the Muramasa tier. XD

A new Boy and His blob for Wii, eh? Guess it makes up for the lack of a (Promised but Cancelled) DS game.

Now that I think about it, SBahB could make some interesting use of the Wiimote. Will all the shapes and forms Blob can take.

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..

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

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

You know, you could really market the heck out of ABahB. Plushes, an animated movie, books, backpack;

Of course, the game needs to be good.

They had me at Wayforward. I still patiently await the day that my hunny Shantae will come back to wiggle dem sexy hips again, but for now.....DAY 1.  0v0

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....

Yes! All friendships should be like this...!

...Blues, start feeding Lou some of his favorite food! You never know when that might get you out of some sort of trouble....  8D

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!

I want the evil tyrant king of Blobonia to look like Jabba the Hutt. Only really disgusting. And huge.
