New trailer for the first next-gen 2D game, A BOY AND HIS BLOB!

An amazing achievement! It looks like an actual animated movie! See the new trailer!

First? Haven't we seen some 2D games this gen?IronBass

Not the first next gen 2D game, about 3 days late to call it new.

I still want it though

j/k:P

I'm a big fan of A Boy And His Blob (NES). I loved it and was thinking about it lately (not even knowing someone was working on another one). That being said, it doesn't exactly seem that impressive from what I could see. As I recal, the old game had tons of different kinds of jelly beans. Apparently the new one only has about 15 jelly bean flavors? I'm also not so sure there's that much imagination to the thing. Looks like it's a case of design by comitee that's given rise to something that's almost an insult towards the old game. Maybe I'm wrong. Certainly I haven't seen that much of it but based on what I've seen, this is my honest opinion of this game.

The first next-gen 2D game.

It must be for the Nintendo Uss then. :|

first next-gen 2D game? ok then *cough* Braid *cough*

This game looks freaking stellar. The art is wonderful and the animations are lovely. I will have this game next month!

Definitely looking forward to this game. This and Muramasa will fulfill my 2D needs for quite some time.

Though it's a shame that SW will probably dub the game "too kiddy" and ignore it, all the while complaining about the Wii library and how it doesn't receive "good" games.

Looks awesome. Love the graphics. :)

THIS IS SPAR.... Errr... I mean CURRENT GEN!

Why do people insist on calling it next-gen?

and it isn't even close to being the 1st 2D game this gen.... this TOPIC = FAIL!

i played that game on genesis, i still remember how awesome it was.

First next-gen 2D game. ;) Games like Braid, Wario Land, etc. are current-gen.

Anywho, yes, that was a grave error on Willy's fault. He was supposed to create a thread on Muramasa, the real first next-gen 2D game. 8)

/shameless promotion and false advertising

Looks pretty neat and Braid-like graphics. Now all I need is more fast paced sidescrollers and I'm set.

Braid says hello.

Muramasa looks a lot more impressive tbh.

Halo came out before A Boy and His Blob, so no it's not the first "next-gen" 2D game.

Braid says hello.

Second, I didn't say Braid game first, it just came before BAHB.

I knew there was a new one coming out but I was in love with the old NES a boy and his blob as well, and I'm hoping this game is very nostalgic! definitely up there for games I want REALLY bad on the Wii. This, muramasa, and tower of shadow are all going to be REALLY awesome 2d games.

First of all you're using the same misnomer as the TC. This is the current-gen.

While this game looks freaking awesome...where did this whole "first" thing come from?

Looks amazing. I will most certainly be checking this out...

I hope this isn't being sold at full price.

W1NGMAN-

Well, I guess that depends on how long it is...not what it looks like.

And as cool as a boy and his blob is, shadow tower looks cooler.

I hope this isn't being sold at full price.

W1NGMAN-

It isn't, but it's worth full price judging by the new trailer.

Looks amazing.

If people hate on this game just because it looks kiddy then they need to start getting away from the PS360.

And as cool as a boy and his blob is, shadow tower looks cooler.

goblaa

I believe it's the Tower of Shadow

Not my cup of tea. If I want a 2d game, I'll go play one of the all-time greats I downloaded from the Virtual Console.

Donkey Kong Country?

Donkey Kong Country 2 preferably, but I have the original also:P But those are more personal greats than all-time.. I was referring more to the games like Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros 3, and Link to the Past.

Well, a boy and his blob IS an all time great cult classic from the NES.

Thank God.

DKC > Super Mario World, AND Super Mario Bros 3.

Know why?

The music.

Oh w/e :P I'm a sucker for games with amazing music.

1. You cannot have "next-gen," this is "current gen."
2. You cannot have a "next-gen" 2D game. The genre was established long, long ago, there really isn't anything that can "revolutionize" the perspective.
3. There have been several other 2D games to come out this gen.
4. I highly doubt anything will top Odin Sphere this gen.

Oh I agree, the DKC series is right there with Morrowind for my favorite soundtracks ever:D
