I own the first one and I love it, but it needs improvements. First of all they need to map jumping to a button instead of doing it with a WiiMote movement. I am sure the game will have tons of improvements, so I can't wait.

Yeah, if it's just the same thing with new locations.... I won't bother with it. The first game was really fun and had so much content that it satisfied my desire for what the gameplay had to offer. I'll only be interested in the sequel if the gameplay is mixed up a bit. Some games can pull off sequels with minimal tweaks, but I don't think De Blob could.

I didn't feel anything wrong with the jumping. Although it should be optional. The game needs quite a few improvements though, thats for sure.

I heard it's releasing the 2011 fiscal year, which is apparently April 2010-March 2011, so there is a chance we'll see it this year. I loved de Blob, and hopefully this sequel will continue its great quality yet mix the franchise up a bit.

Hopefully they'll be able to mix it up a bit with some new ideas. The first one was good, but I'm not sure how much they'd be able to do with a sequel that does the same thing as the first. I'll be keeping my eye on this though.

Tingle, dont ruin it for the rest of them they think it will be a good idea let them think that. Just see what they say when it comes out. Then argue against it.

I hope they drop the mission system and the timer. Those were the two worst parts of the first.

I've never played the first one but I hear a lot of good things about it. I can probably buy the frist one for cheap now.

Is a wonderful game and I'm still waiting to have it in my library. I also loved the dynamic music The jump function is not a real problem but I would like a "directional" swing to jump, and not just to wave the control. It may use a button obviously because is really unnecessary. The problem I got was with the camera, as it could use some adjustment Regards

Awesome. De Blob was a great, underappreciated game. It certainly had some flaws though, but to be honest I'm not really sure where and how I'd improve the sequel..

Everyone raise your drink of choice, this is great news for Wii. It is not often we get a third party new IP that is successful and also appeals to traditional crowds so much.

I haven't played the first one yet, but I will buy it soon. I hope I like it. :P

But it's nice to see that a new third party game gets as sequel on the Wii.

"so no" what? So no more de Blob games for you? Shame you didn't like the first one but let everyone else celebrate.

Yep. I won't even look at the sequel unless they fix this. If they did fix it, I would trade in my partially completed de Blob 1 copy and get the sequel... well in a few months when I can find it for $20.

I feel like this game needs multiplayer in more siginificant servings than the first game. Probably even online play.

I'm interested in seeing what they will do with the sequel. It will need to be improved in many areas. They should either keep the timer, make levels smaller (make more of them) and speed up gameplay OR remove the timer, make levels larger, with a Super Mario 64 style open world.

Its nice to hear De Blob is a series THQ is going to move forward with. However, lets not jump to conclusions, because they didn't say it was for the Wii. They may go the route of Okami and take it to the handheld market. Also it was confirmed for the next fiscal year, not next year. The next fiscal year for most starts in Q2.

I haven't even played the first one yet. It's only £8.73 to boot. It's hard to keep up with all these games.

If they do, then maybe we'll finally get that DS version that's been supposedly coming for ages now.

I would much prefer a direct sequel for the Wii, but I am not going to jump ahead and assume that will be the case.

I never really bothered with the timer since it never came into play for me. I was usually done with the stages well before the timer ran out, but maybe that is because I never tried fully completing the later levels. :P

It most likely is the DS version, I hope I am wrong.

I don't know if I want to play another game in this franchise.

The good thing about De Blob was it's uniqueness

Awesome news, though I really hope they would fix the problems that were in the first one. Like the jumping and the 1 hour long levels.
