Limited Run Games has shared details about the A Boy and His Blob: Retro Collection physical release on Switch. This was first announced last June, but little information was shared at the time.
A Boy and His Blob: Retro Collection will have a standard version on Switch plus a Classic Edition. The latter includes a set of retro cart keychains, a double pack of soundtracks, and both titles in a Game Boy-shaped throwback box.
Here’s some information about A Boy and His Blob: Retro Collection:
This Retro Collection includes the original NES A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia, and The Rescue of Princess Blobette, originally on Game Boy. Take a trip down memory lane and rediscover these classic platforming adventures – but don’t forget to pack your jellybeans!
A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (NES)
Blob has come from the distant planet Blobolonia in search of an earth boy to help him save his world.Join him on this fantastic adventure in mysterious caverns beneath the earth searching for treasures. Then travel to Blobolonia to battle the evil emperor.
Discover Blob’s amazing appetite for jellybeans, and the different transformations that occur with each favor. Learn to use these shapes to overcome even the most outrageous obstacles. A Boy and His Blob is a fantastic journey filled with constant surprises and humorous characters.
The Rescue of Princess Blobette (Game Boy)
That’s right, the jelly bean-loving Blob and his faithful Earth-boy companion are back in a brand-new adventure! This time out, the duo’s exploits take them to the Royal Castle of Blobolonia, Blob’s home planet, as they attempt to free the lovely–and imprisoned–Princess Blobette from the clutches of the treacherous Antagonistic Alchemist.
Join our heroes as they encounter secret rooms, clever traps, and dangerous obstacles in the labyrinthine depths of the castle. But all is not lost–these two share a very special secret: With each flavor of jelly bean the boy feeds Blob, Blob will magically transform into a different shape that can help this intrepid pair get past just about anything the Alchemist can conjure up!
- Includes the US and Japanese versions both games, so players can spot the unique differences between each version.
- Music Player. Enjoy the original soundtrack of both games.
Pre-orders for the physical versions of A Boy and His Blob: Retro Collection for Switch open on February 3, 2023. Limited Run Games will have reservations here.
