Quantcast



Majesco tells us it's "Blob Month," and we're in the second week, apparently. We must have missed the announcement, as this thing isn't on our calendars. 
 
In any case, what this means is that we have a gameplay video of The Boy and His Blob, WayForward's gorgeous Wii re-imagination of the NES classic. In the clip, the boy is awoken by a meteor crashing towards the ground from the sky. When he goes to investigate, he discovers it wasn't a ordinary meteor -- it's brought the blob to Earth!
 
If you've been following along, this isn't the first time you've seen the game in action. We've had some pretty amazing, exclusive footage of the game in action in the past. If you like what you see here, be sure to go back and check that stuff out: ForestSwampsCaves, and Gearworks.
 
The Boy and His Blob hits stores on October 13, and personally, I can't wait.

Okay, well don't watch that video if you want the beginning of your game to be magical. If you don't care about such things then most certainly watch it because this game looks amazing.

Oh I didn't realize that this was coming out the 13th, too. With this and Brutal Legend, it will be a sad day for my bank account.

Looks like they made the "BLOB!" voice sample less obnoxious. Thank God. The old version would have given me a headache. I really hope it's actually gone.

But yeah, I might need to get my Wii back from my family when this comes out. Then give it back to them for another year and a half once this gets beaten.

The very first scene gave me an EarthBound chill. I ind of don't liek how the oral animation doesnt match so much with the phrases, but its still great

The "calm down" and then hug scene is so adorable. I had almost forgotten this is coming out soon. I need it.

I think there's going to be a game of the month every week for me this month. Heck, there might be two for every week!

Gamestop has it listed for 10/06. I hope they're right.
