A Boy and His Blob details
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments
– Ideas started after Contra 4 was completed
– Actually not a remake – “inspired by” the original
– Started from a pitch – Majesco wanted to breathe new life into it for a long time
– David Crane not directly involved
– There are “a good mix of blob transformations that should each be useful in their own context” – there are classic and new transformations
– Looks fully 2D but uses 3D for things like effects
– No waggle or IR in the game
– Looking into GameCube controller support
– Game has a lot of unlockables and secrets
– A lot of gameplay variety
– No multiplayer – perhaps for A Boy and His Blob 2
– Runs in 480p, 16:9
– Game is for everyone

Sonic and the Black Knight
– People have been complaining about the review, saying IGN is biased, etc.
– Not so hot – 3.9
– Matt says he gives bad Sonic games bad scores
– Just not a good game
– Can look at it as not a good Sonic game or not a good game in general (both are true)
– Doesn’t have any of the trademarks from the Sonic games
– Matt can’t remember a single loop in the game
– Always at a dead stop fighting enemies, stopped a lot
– Sword-play is just one move – mapped to waggle
– Basic game is running forward for a second, stopping for 30 seconds, fighting off enemies
– Secret Rings did have its issues but it was still a fun game
– By design they’re trying to slow you down
– Actually have to stop, walk up to a townspeople clumbsily to interact with villagers
– Don’t really collect rings so much either
– When you stop you realize how bad the controls are
We Ski and Snowboard
– Very mediocre game
– Pretty much the same game as last year, looked like the same game
– Added the ability to snowboard but have the same controls as skiing
– Does support the balance board
– Balance board controls work
– Nothing else to do in the game
– Everything is unlocked from the very beginning
– Nothing to entice you to move forward
– No goal or objective you’re working towards
– Visually not too bad
– Framerate chugs in multiplayer
