Never played this series, but it looks rather cool.. sure it’s a kids game, but I’m a big kid at heart !
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(TM). The classic Nintendo Entertainment System(TM) (NES(TM)) puzzle-platformer celebrates its 20th anniversary by challenging a new generation of gamers as it arrives on Wii(TM) 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(TM) — 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.
