I remember when i was excited for this on the DS near release and was mad when no new info was coming. I'm glad this is coming out though! But is it a full retail game or wiiware?

Since you can use the blob as a weapon now and not just umbrellas and ladders it is not a remake.

Does it really matter They update the graphics and add Wii Remote functionality. Also I can see you doing that if the game was released last gen but this game was originally released on the NES so it doesn't really matter if it is a remake or not.

Masamura, MadWorld, No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki, Super Mario Galaxy, and Little King Story... didn't do it for you... but this did... Oh well at least your starting to see that the Wii has solid games.

I'm interested in the bold titles, hate the red titles, and have no interest in the green titles.

But it's going to take a lot more games to convince me to buy a wii. None of the games that I'm actually intersted in on the wii warrant the system.

Just like I wouldn't buy a PS2 for Odin Sphere.

Fair enough. No More Heroes is an amazingly satirical game, but that's not for everyone.

Please tell me those really are screen shots and not concept art because that is stunningly well done in the art design department.

More Info: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Blobolonia is threatened by an evil emperor, the blob comes to earth looking for help. Instead, he finds a young boy. Help the blob dethrone the evil Emperor that's terrorizing Blobolonia and establish a friendship with the blob that will last a lifetime. Game Overview: a boy and his blob returns with an all new game play experience! True to the NES version, playing the boy, you feed your Blob jelly beans and watch it transform into cool and useful objects to solve puzzles and escape danger. With its robust and emotionally driven story, challenging puzzles, and visually impressive art style, a boy and his blob is nothing short of a heartwarming experience.

Game looks awesome. I still have the original for the NES. I still never beat the game. There were a lot of jelly beans for that little Blob. Like 30-35 different flavors. One of David Cranes best titles.

I dont know why but from just looking at the pictures, i can tell this game is going to have an amazing soundtrack which to me is the 2nd most important thing in a game after gameplay. I got this vibe when i first saw braid pictures and i loved the games soundtrack.

What? :S

Wayforward = small talented developer focused on Nintendo systems HD development = lots of money and resources if flop = bankrupt
