A Boy And His Blob Return

Posted by Zonk on from the jellybeans-for-the-win! dept.

Press the Buttons noted that one of the games slated for unveiling at this year's E3 is a handheld console remake of A Boy and his Blob. The classic tale of a jellybean eating blob and his nameless boy may be coming for either the DS or the PSP, or both. From the article: "In the company's E3 press release a number of games are listed for the Nintendo DS and Sony PlayStation Portable, one of which is A Boy and His Blob. Which of the two systems the game is for isn't clarified (it could be one or both), but seeing as how Majesco tried to revive the series for the Game Boy Advance several years ago, I'm betting it's for the DS."

    This is one of the first gaming announcements in the past couple months to warm my black little heart. Too bad it's Majesco, but they can't screw it up that badly... can they?

    Hey, this looks like a fun game, I'll try playing it!

    Hey this is pretty cool, you can make him turn into different things with different beans!

    Hey this is still cool, I'm making it pretty far!

    Hey look, these controls suck, my guy died because I was a nanometer off to the left!

    Hey look, flying enemies that are impossible to dodge! I think I'll keep trying to get past this 500 times and fail each time!
