One of the rare third-party successes on the Wii, de Blob, is getting a sequel. What colour does de Blob: The Underground add to THQ’s burgeoning franchise?
According to the new issue of Nintendo Power, the additions include new moves, new foes, and, perhaps most interesting, “new 2-D platforming segments,” taking away a dimension from the 3D adventure game. Nintendo Power’s online preview is just a tease, but reveals that the game will coming to the Wii and DS in the spring of next year.

I would love to work on a game like De Blob, it is so a unique thing. Come on Blue Tongue, you can’t say “no” all the time.

De blob was okay. I enjoyed it. It wasn’t the greatest game but it was more then decent for being an Australian original.

It was originally developed by Dutch University students. I like Wii de Blob, but preferred the original version.

Fantastic game, good news that it’s getting a sequel and certainly they can count on getting my money once again.

First one was good, but missions were too long with no save ability

Friday, May 28, 2010 at 11:08 PMI would have played way more of it if the save points were closer together. I have loads of fun with it for 15-20 minutes, then by the time I get to save, I’ve tired of it again.
