8) Hell yeah.

Hell yeah Blob.

Awesome freakin' game. I remember people laughing at me when I brought it up.

Doesn't quite look like my cup of tea....I'll either wait for a price drop or just rent it.

No hype thread but it was generally AA hype.

A good score for an awesome-looking game.

Shame that most of SW will end up ignoring it :(

I see... I guess The Crapduitforced the sheep to not hype their games anymore, uh?? Also LKS.

Meh! LKS looks like an interesting game, one of the few I'd buy if I had a Wii. It's a shame it flopped here.

Anyway, congrats sheep, you have what it looks like a fun game right there.

Not really. Just that people generally are not very interested in Wii related news around here. Anyway can't wait to pick this up.

I'm certain many people claimed floppage when the score came out.

After all, IIRC LKS was the only Wii game (back then) hyped as GotY

Is this a port or a whole new game from Wayforward?

It's a sort-of remake, sort-of sequel. Far from a port.

WayForward calls it a re-imagining.

I'm surprised they actually reviewed it. Better late than never.

Great score. I'll definitely check it out when I have the chance.

Haha, looks like the expectation of Wii games have gone down a full notch. Everyone else hypes AAA games. Sheep only hype AA games. Everyone gets the big 'wow' factor when it gets anywhere about 8.0+. On other consoles, anything hyped up which gets 8.0 is a flop. Oh, how things are changing....

It's already on my xmas list! oh if only i had more money, my ps3 hadn't broken, or there were fewer stellar games in the last month or so.

For canadian gamers, from what i can tell go to Toys R Us for this one. They have it for 39.99 rather then 44.99 like at eb games(and 49.99 at best buy!).

Don't know what world you're living in but I hype games at what I think they will score. Not some pride level. If that's how you roll that's cool, some of us aren't that (how do I put it????) silly?

Great score!

Great score. Gotta pick this game up some time.

I have not played a game like this in a long time. I think I should try them. Would make a nice little variety from the mainstream.

What did you expect? AAE? :lol:

Oh, I remember that.....:P

Great score, met hype. Once I play through my current pile of games I definetly have plans to pick up both the Boy and his Blob.

Does anyone know if this game has been advertised on TV? I seriously see this game have major potential among kids. Using lines like "a classic reimagined" and just through its general cuteness, I could actually see ABAHB being a moderate sleeper hit. Just get the name out there, Majesco!

I was ticking off the days until GS reviewed it.

And when it got an 8.0

Vengance was MINE.

Nah I did remember and I posted it for the lolz

Great score, should hold me until New Super Mario Bros. Wii, if I play it.

:lol: What show is that from?

NinjaDuckling

Daniel Tosh's stand-up special, I think.

Great score! I will definitely pick this up soon! :D

I really wish that they let you use the d-pad on the classic controller. The analog stick on that this is horrible

Jeez the wii has literally doubled its total AAE games this year. I think its might be ahead now?

If your a fan of 2D platformers (or even 2D games in general) the Wii is the place to be right now. Muramasa, Blob and NSMBWii in 3 months. Nice.

Good day for the wii, another AAE and AE (Wii Fit Plus).
