Wii game A Boy and His Blob returning on Switch

After it originally came to Wii more than a decade ago, A Boy and His Blob is now on the way to Switch. Ziggurat Interactive announced that it will be putting WayForward’s classic on the console.

A Boy and His Blob was a re-imagining of the classic NES game. It’s a side-scrolling puzzle platformer with 2D hand-drawn animation. You’ll be controlling a young boy as he works with his friend, an alien blob-like creature with shapeshifting abilities that can be used by eating jelly beans. The two will need to defeat enemies and solve puzzles to reach Blobolonia and dethrone the tyrannical Emperor who’s set on world domination. The story is told through hand-drawn and animated illustrations.

When A Boy and His Blob appears on Switch, it’ll come with 15 transformations including the Caramel Cannon, Bubble Gum Bouncer, and classic beans such as Licorice Ladder, Apple Jack, and Tangerine Trampoline. Woods, swamps, caves, the Blobolonian Outskirts, and the Emperor’s Citadel are among the different areas, and there are 40 levels in total. Players can also collect treasure to unlock 40 additional challenge levels.

Here’s a trailer for A Boy and His Blob on Switch:
