A boy and his blob trouble on blobolonia Releases
EDISON, N.J., November 23, in the year of our Lord 2009
- Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video
games for the mass market, today announced that A Boy and His
Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is now available for download on
Virtual Console™. The classic Nintendo Entertainment System™
(NES™) puzzle-platformer celebrates its 20th anniversary by
challenging a new generation of gamers as it arrives on Wii™ for
the first time. The original game has been one of the most
influential in history and inspired the critically acclaimed
reimagining of the tale for Wii™ - a boy and his blob -developed
by WayForward Technologies earlier this fall.
Taking place in 2001
(the future from its original release), the game's touching
storyline begins when an Evil Emperor imprisons the inhabitants
of Blobolonia. One brave soul by the name of Blob, full name
Blobert, escapes his home planet looking for help. He
crash-lands on Earth only to find a young boy. Luckily, when the
Boy feeds Blobert flavored jellybeans, the blob transforms into
various helpful shapes such as the Licorice Ladder, Fruit-Punch
Hole and Hummingbird Honey. Using the magical candy and
teamwork, the duo sets out to free Blobolonia and vanquish the
Evil Emperor as they traverse through the head-scratching,
side-scrolling puzzle action that has become legend in the
annals of videogame history.
A Boy and His Blob:
Trouble on Blobolonia is rated E for Everyone and available for
download from the Wii™ Shop Channel for 500 Wii Points™. The
Wii™ game is also available nationwide for the suggested retail
price of $39.99. More information can be found on the official
