Celebrating Its 20th Anniversary, Classic Franchise Makes Triumphant Return This Fall With All New Game Play Experience
BRISTOL, UK, March 4, 2009 ? Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced a boy and his blob for WiiTM. a boy and his blob first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and won numerous awards shortly after its debut in 1989. Developed by WayForward, acclaimed developers of Contra 4 and Shantae, the rebirth of this classic title expands upon the original platform adventure. Featuring groundbreaking hand drawn and painted animation technology, the all-new presentation provides a polished, cinematic feel.
“When a boy and his blob first appeared in 1989, it captured the imagination of gamers everywhere with its heartwarming storyline and unique gameplay,” said Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations, Majesco Entertainment. “Twenty years later, we are proud to bring an updated – yet still charming – reimagining of this beloved title to a new generation of Wii players.”
Nintendo had stated a few months back that Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus would be shipping together in Spring 2009. Yet, both products have failed to make any of Nintendo’s recent press releases, and thus the release dates of the two items are completely up the air. However, with some investigating, it looks like MotionPlus could be on the way before June 18.
One of the feature articles in the latest issue of Nintendo Power is about EA’s Grand Slam Tennis. Here’s an official blurb from the magazine, which also discusses MotionPlus.
“Thomas Singleton (EA) and his Vancouver-based team hope to take things to the next level, thanks in no small part to the Wii MotionPlus accessory (due out prior to Grand Slam’s release).”
Now, EA’s website for the game says the game will be out before June 18. This has to mean that MotionPlus will arrive before then, right?!
