A Boy and his Blob

In Modern Systems



looks like a remake/sequel is in the works, and set to be shown at e3. This could stand to be very interesting.

Very interesting....I did quite enjoy the original

I would have thought that in the 15 years since his last adventure the boy would have realised that hanging out with a giant blob from outerspace isn't doing him any favors when it comes to scoring with the ladies. Besides shouldn't it be called thirty-something man and his blob? And that's assuming he still has the blob. He probably would have sold it on Ebay by now.

I look forward to seeing how this one turns out. I just hope it's on the DS rather than the PSP.

Here are some pics:





I'm not really sure if I like the look of it or not. For a start why is the blob green? It's wrong I tells yer.

I do like the fact that it has a rather light-hearted, cartoonish look to it. Seems like it's very fitting. I also like the fact that there are the ladders, too. Seems like it may be similar in design to the original (ie side-scrolling! yay!). I look forward to checking this one out!


But if the "boy" feeds the Blob the right jellybean, then the Blob could transform into the image of a beatiful woman to keep the "boy" happy.
...
Then again... the woman would still just be the Blob...
... umm... eew?


The screenshots of the game look splendid though. There is so much that could be done with the 2-D game play for a game like this.

In a bitter twist, it could be the blob who gets all the ladies hehe

Apparently this got cancelled.

Actually looking at the proposed box artwork maybe it's a good thing.


You're kidding me! Man, I looked forward to this game after having gotten the NES version. I only realized a little while ago that this was for DS. When this topic was first created, somehow I didn't even know what system it was on After hearing it was on DS, I was so stoked... I'm very disappointed now. This would've been awesome.

That sucks. It looked good. But, the box artwork looks a bit dodgy. Sigh.

It seemed to have been aimed at the younger demographic.

That would have been sweet on the DS.

the box art is ridicuously stupid looking, and so are the graphics.... it looks like something from that Jimmy Neutron cartoon or something

the blob on the box art looks like something from Veggie Tales.... lame
