It was announced today that Hulu Plus will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Wii has been left out of current plans, though that may change in the future. A simple survey question asked participants if they own a Wii. Obviously this isn’t any confirmation that Hulu support is in the works for Wii, but there definitely seem to be some potential interest there.

de Blob executive producer believes the series can work well with 3D
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
“The 3DS is going to be very interesting. We haven’t even achieved mass market penetration with 3D in home entertainment so it’s very exciting to see if the 3DS can jump the gun and make its way into homes. I can see de Blob working extremely well with 3D. It’s a colour-based game so if you can picture 3D paint splats and cartoon action jumping out at you from the screen, that’s a great indication of how de Blob might benefit from 3D.” – Nick Hagger, series executive producer
de Blob 2 is definitely coming to the 3DS. It was announced by THQ and it was on Nintendo’s list of games as well! So we shouldn’t have to wait too long to see what the series is like in 3D. The only thing is, based on Hagger’s comments, it doesn’t sound like he’s too involved with that title. I suppose that’s because he’s already working on the next game for Wii.
