*The graphics are very beautiful, next to kirby's epic yarn some of the best i have ever seen, I think a few seconds of loading times can be forgiven don't you?. No garbage 3D polygons in sight!, real art which doesn't age after 1 year & how it always should be. The reviewer seems like he's focusing on all the negatives?*
When 3D graphics came out developers thought they had to convert to keep up. Hence we got Mario, Sonic, Metroid, Shinobi and so on in 3D. They are realising now with LBP, Shadow Complex, Trine etc. that the side scrolling platforms are just as fun and shouldn't be considered dated. And now Mario and Sonic are getting re-flattened to 2D. Which I think is excellent.
I'm currently playing though this game, and I love it. Pointing where the beans should fall can be tricky (they really should have used the Wii's ability to point at the screen for that) but other than that it is a fantastic game.
wait wait WHAT?!?!? Omg i was playing this game back when i was FIVE, and i played it for many many years after that! I remember it all the way back from my daycare. Holy crap how cool that they remade it :D
It's labelled as a 6 hour campaign because that's how long it takes to get the audiophiles and compelte the game whislt also getting at least half the achievements from the campaign
I've heard IGN calling the PS3 and the 360 "Current Gen" lately. However I don't recall what they call the Wii. I think they still call it current get, but then they giggle or flat out laugh some times.
even though 2D platformers have been out for years and years... and this is more of a traditional platformer, where as, LBP, is more 3D.. in fact, all 3D... its not bad, its just different...
the one for NES was hard as hell...but still very much fun...this one looks just as good...some people have different results with the controls...some catch on quicker...but the graphics look fantastic
@supermariomanfan What? You're kidding, right? Gaming in the 80s and 90s was difficult, and actually gave that generation something to accomplish while playing. Gaming today; namely Wii gaming is casual and oversimplified. If the Wii didn't exist, gamers would be forced to actually challenge themselves again.
@supermariomanfan because they're stuck developing for the wii. if they moved to consoles, things would change. also, you obviously haven't heard of: splosion man, comic jumper, Joe danger, fat princess, or castle crashers.
yeah... which is why I like the PS3 and wii... because platformers are my favorite gaming genre... but I do like a little variety... so I want a PS3...
OH MAN I have the original gameboy version of this.... with practice, I actually managed to beat the ENTIRE game in 20 minutes flat. Ahhh the days of old video games!
giving a game a lower score cuz u have to wait a bit longer for things to load is bull and i think game companies should understand that not everyone is gonna like the controls so have type 2 or custom control schemes
This game is very good, very nice graphics. I usually dont actually try to get the treasure chests but sometimes i do. I just dont caare too much about concept art and a few extra levels.
There were three triplets in a womb, and one says to the others, "so guys what do you think you'll be when you grow up?" One says,"im gonna be a police officer, so i can save people!" the other says,"im gonna be a doctor, so i can help people!" and then the other two babies ask the first baby what he wants to be when he grows up. and he says, "im gonna be a trapper, and catch that weasel that keeps poppin in and outta here!" haha, get it??
wii has NEXT GEN controlls , it dosnt have to be high quality graphics, sayin that you cant compare wii to ps3 and xbox as its not in the same league tho it is "next gen"
dude you really need to get your info right, the new metroid isn't the same old three, its a totally new story taking place between super metroid and fussion and it's just totally different from the prime series which was awesome. Also there are 2 new zelda games coming one for ds and one for wii
they should make a zelda game that takes like Forever to finish with lots of towns new tools (The hammer is kinda gay now) more bosses and more to do that would be fun
Some games have much lower load times than others, and in my opinion an unnecessary amount of them severely hinders the experience. Watch who you call an idiot. :)
although the ps3 does have a some veriety as well... it has some platformers and such... its the 360 thats mostly fps and racing games... I have yet to find an xbox exclusive platformer...
What about sonic? and shadow? and that fat hedgehog that was really a beaver but made no sense??? i don't know, ODST was pretty good for a 6hour campaign, it was more fun than Halo3 that's for sure. new metroid game is just the old three remastered by the way, no more zelda titles will come out, at least not for the wii
Yea! My daughter worked on this game! Love the "hug" button.
Give her my thanks!
This game is a masterpiece, beautiful, intelligent, and extremely well-designed. The control system is not difficult at all. 7.6 is way too low.
I agree! There needs to be a Switch version.
melack857 I want to play this game so much but it cost money
porter you're right it did need a switch version with more things that the blob can transform into
Agree 100%

You said "the boys" home planet. You ment the blob...
I don't know why but I'd love to see a Studio Ghibli movie for this game. It just fits the style imo
This game looks like a critically underrated remake of a classic

I just got this, the game is good, IGN always makes the bad points stick out in their reviews. Don't let that stop you from picking it up
Kirby - Slave Edition.
@Snorkai Not really. The PS3 uses a NVIDIA RSX (Real Synthesizer) @ 550MHz, and the Xbox 360 uses an ATI Xenos @ 500MHz.
I'm currently playing though this game, and I love it. Pointing where the beans should fall can be tricky (they really should have used the Wii's ability to point at the screen for that) but other than that it is a fantastic game.
Memory
The abundance of signs is actually the result of playtesting the individual levels and not having time to remove all of them.
@Shammburglar
actually the wii version was released earlier but i totally agree with you.
It's coming for PC! YAY
"confusing him, and scarring him for life, which I enjoy doing" HAHHAHAAA gotta love it
this game on the NES was amazing
wait wait WHAT?!?!? Omg i was playing this game back when i was FIVE, and i played it for many many years after that! I remember it all the way back from my daycare. Holy crap how cool that they remade it :D
@supermariomanfan no. without wii, these developers would simply move their unique games as downloads, and on consoles were they aren't so limited.
It's labelled as a 6 hour campaign because that's how long it takes to get the audiophiles and compelte the game whislt also getting at least half the achievements from the campaign
Will you be reviewing the Switch port of this?
@Beepixie technically theyre not exclusive, theyre on the pc also :)
I remember playing this on my Gameboy when I was about 8.
i think if you own a wii your missing out on alot of awsome games
@MertHacks Yes, it was. But almost no one bought it because it was too hard. It's on the Virtual Console now.
I've heard IGN calling the PS3 and the 360 "Current Gen" lately. However I don't recall what they call the Wii. I think they still call it current get, but then they giggle or flat out laugh some times.
Hahaha
"confusing and scaring him for life... Which I enjoy doing" XD

Woo, the original was awesome on the NES. I might get this one, seeing as the Wii has been collecting dust for several months now.
the one for NES was hard as hell...but still very much fun...this one looks just as good...some people have different results with the controls...some catch on quicker...but the graphics look fantastic

"A fluid 30 frames per second"
Was that a joke? 😂
This was posted in 2009...
No. 2009 console = 30fps
i remember playing this game for the GameBoy Color back in the days.. but i dont remember it being like this.
NOSTALGIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I used to think this was sad when I was little...
If you played this you had a wonderful childhood.
Never expected that game to come out from development team who made Contra 4.
OH MAN I have the original gameboy version of this.... with practice, I actually managed to beat the ENTIRE game in 20 minutes flat. Ahhh the days of old video games!

The GTA we never had? How do you mean?
Just got this the other day. Sooooo much fun lol
How long are the load times is the question.
This is true, but we may see a GTA for the Wii in the future.
Available at limited run last day today
Its no secret that Nintendo is trying too accomplish a sense of old school meets new school gaming for the Wii and it seems too be working
Matt's pretty lively in this review...
Well, since like a nice game. I'll rent it for the hell of it, I love games like these. I may even buy it.
I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED
Coming to vita!!!
I would get this if it was a Wiiware title. Seems about the same quality as Lost Winds.
0:53-1:00 ah yes, the boy enlists the help of the boy
Wouldn't it actually be that "Little Big Planet" is a 3-D "A Boy and His Blob," since "A Boy and His Blob" came out first.
This game looks really cute and fun.
This game is very good, very nice graphics. I usually dont actually try to get the treasure chests but sometimes i do. I just dont caare too much about concept art and a few extra levels.
I completely agree.
I remember playing the original! This one looks good though!
This looks REALLY good!
"Load times between levels" IDIOTS, that doesn't make the game bad, EVERY game has load times!
There were three triplets in a womb, and one says to the others, "so guys what do you think you'll be when you grow up?"
One says,"im gonna be a police officer, so i can save people!"
the other says,"im gonna be a doctor, so i can help people!"
and then the other two babies ask the first baby what he wants to be when he grows up.
and he says, "im gonna be a trapper, and catch that weasel that keeps poppin in and outta here!"
haha, get it??
theyre all next gen until the next set of consoles
:) I love this game, the load times dont bug me much.
the game is for the platform ness loch :D
The "Blobs" home planet, not the boys.... 0:52
But people do, all over the world.
the released a version for GB? I remember the nes version...didn't know there was one for GB.
@elliottharbo Yeah, I'm sure parents would love to buy their kids M rated games.
it looked stupid when i first saw it but now i want this game.
the boys home planet of blobalonia? I thought it was the blobs home planet
wii has NEXT GEN controlls , it dosnt have to be high quality graphics, sayin that you cant compare wii to ps3 and xbox as its not in the same league tho it is "next gen"
I own it, played it, it's awesome! Take it from a gamer who has been playing video games for 30 years of his life
Just finshed the game, very fun, challenging, would give it an 8 well worth 20 bucks
For some reason I'd rather see this puzzler/platformer on the DS...
They need to make a new 2d Donkey Kong Country game.
Jak And Daxter: The Precursor Legacy didn't, and it was made for the PS2 in 2001.
dude you really need to get your info right, the new metroid isn't the same old three, its a totally new story taking place between super metroid and fussion and it's just totally different from the prime series which was awesome. Also there are 2 new zelda games coming one for ds and one for wii
Who says "pwned"? what the hell?.
And PS3 and 360 are now THIS gen. Seen as they've been out a few years.
@supermariomanfan half? About 85% are M rated, if not, more.
Oh and by the way, wasnt "a boy and his blob" a very old NES Game?
Got the game for 5 bucks. Haven't tried it yet, though.
@andreidane Same. I used to love beat em ups from the age of about 5 to 12!
they should make a zelda game that takes like Forever
to finish with lots of towns new tools (The hammer is kinda gay now) more bosses and more to do that would be fun
Some games have much lower load times than others, and in my opinion an unnecessary amount of them severely hinders the experience.
Watch who you call an idiot. :)
@DAJASONTHEJASON I know I am replying to a comment you made a year ago, but wasn't it rated E?
I miss the old one on the nes
"confusing and scarring him for life". heh
A boi n hiz blub
not exactly fair is it? I mean its not ign's fault that they have those kind of ads...
he says the boy instead of the blob at 0:52
> constant 30 fps lmfao
> bad loading screens
> ON 2D GRAPHICS
go wii
it is
forgot the movie name... want to clear that up please?
judging a book by its cover are we?
n.e.s. or nes..whatever dude....btw, people don't call snes as s-nes, people call it super nintendo and nes as nes
oooh we have an apathetic drone. meh, you'll be taken out of the gene pool soon enough.
I believe it's Dr. Strangelove
My review of this game: IT HAS A HUG BUTTON, 10/10
@SlayerAquamarine
no is not
although the ps3 does have a some veriety as well... it has some platformers and such... its the 360 thats mostly fps and racing games... I have yet to find an xbox exclusive platformer...
What about sonic? and shadow? and that fat hedgehog that was really a beaver but made no sense???
i don't know, ODST was pretty good for a 6hour campaign, it was more fun than Halo3 that's for sure.
new metroid game is just the old three remastered by the way, no more zelda titles will come out, at least not for the wii
He rides the rocket that looks like a bomb. WOO!
Too bad no-one gets what that's from.
i have to get this game i loved the nes version back in the early days
