A Boy and His Blob is a Wii retelling of the NES video game of the same name. The game follows the basic structure of the previous game, containing similar, albeit greatly improved, gameplay mechanics and fantastic hand drawn characters, stages and backgrounds. The game was developed by the critically acclaimed developer WayForward ('Shante, Contra 4, and Lit) and, like the previous game before it, published by Majesco. The game was revealed in an issue of Nintendo Power.
