Can I just say, first of all, if you show me a toucan in a game, I want to ride that toucan. Players might be as frustrated as ever that Roman centurions are riding mechs and tropical birds while they spend time eating their own ass, but it appears as though Noby Noby Boy's online community is still going strong. Their combined efforts have allowed Noby Noby Girl to reach the yet another new planet. 

It's taken nearly three years, 1045 days to be exact, but Girl's impressive reach has finally stretched to Uranus. While that may sound like a long time, it's actually quite astonishing considering distances between planets are to scale. If you've yet to try Keita Takahashi's latest bizarre offering and want to join as the journey to Neptune begins, the title is still available via PSN for just $4.99, and maybe a bit of your sanity.

The dark rings of Uranus are made perhaps of organic matter.

I feel really really bad for that one dude is still playing that game.

Blake Stone

Noby Noby Boy is one of those games that everybody should play at least once. It's just so incredibly different. I don't know if it's good or not, but there is nothing remotely like it.

llort het

should have made a trophy unlock for "visiting pluto" or something like that. Would have made it there a while ago.

Damn,last time I played this game we were just reaching the moon.

I still pop the game in from time to time and chalk up a few hundred feet. It's like Animal Crossing in that way. You play for as much as or as little as you feel, set your own little meaningless goals, and just enjoy the moment.

Come to think of it, that's exactly how I live the rest of my life.

Chris Carter

I still pop it in every so often - fun game.

That header image made the article

TheNephilym

That header image is bullshit. Jim doesn't need a stupid toucan telling him to follow his nose. He's clearly never had any trouble finding food before. Let's be realistic here, guys.

I really wish this would come to 3DS. It would be a perfect game for the system.

The header image made me think there was a game called Noby Noby Boy that involved Jim Sterling riding Toucan Sam to Uranus... I'm guessing a classic SCHMUP?

Noby Noby Boy playage almost exclusively coincides with the doing of hallucinogenic drugs.

Awesome header image

mickeygfunk

i still turn this game on to have in teh BG while workign on non-TV related projects. its teh best screensaver/interactive art type thing of all time.

ScottyG

I thought in efforts to eliminate that horrible joke once and for all they renamed it to Urectum.

Jibberwocky

I still want larger environments. My Boy wants to keep stretching without having to fly.

tehTommy

That reminds me...

Kyo555

damn, this reminds me of that poor owl in the second level of Super Mario 64 (Whomp's Fortress) which had to carry Mario all the way to the top and after a while just dropped him because he was too fat.

Phallus knife fights work is seriously good.

If I had even the slightest bit of game design skill I would make this game.

I didn't ever think I would have to wonder what will happen when we reach the end of the galaxy.

ryucross

Hey Kyle, Uranus is the seventh planet, not the eighth (which would be Neptune).

Zelchacha

I still play it all the time, What up?

fetusmilk

i cant believe this game is still going. i have to say , thats dedication to reach the end of a game, the creator wasnt even sure people would reach. are the items on planets random, or has he set specific things that will show up on neptune? since pluto isnt a planet anymore. will neptune be the last planet?

Paul S

Really, commander?

Darren Nakamura

Isn't this after they sped up how much Noby Noby Girl grows though? Or did that not ever happen? I feel like I remember hearing after we reached the moon that it would be many years before getting to even Mars, even keeping with the rate of growth at launch.

BrainWasherAttendent

Pluto is still a planet to me. Only loser scientists with some creepy agenda would claim otherwise.
