I'd go with Wii. On the side note, I didn't like the first game, but only a handful of reasons made it so. I assume they would have fixed those things here.

I agree, IF I could find it (seriously, nowhere stocks it), I would buy it

Guess its K:EY then eh?

And awesime song!

It seems I have confused games, I though de Blob was that game A boy and his Blob. Yay!



Above: still the best game of the year.

Yep, Kirby's Epic Yarn

It was released on the same day here in Europe

Seems gamestops around here don't even stock it for Wii, just PS3/360. I asked and got the "not sure if it's coming out for Wii" answer. Oh well, gamestop strikes again.

RolStoppable said:Going by reviews, de Blob 2 is merely a mission pack to the first game. The only addition are some 2D platforming segments (how innovative!), but aside from that everything is the same. You experience all types of missions in the first level of the game and everything that follows are variations of those. Instead of buying de Blob 2, most people could simply choose to finally finish the first game, because the differences are so miniscule. It doesn't help de Blob 2 that the interest in such games as retail versions is generally very low on the HD consoles (second rate game syndrome) and on the Wii, the platformer competition has increased tremendously since de Blob 1 was released. Worse, in Europe Kirby: Epic Yarn released on the same day and is better advertised on top of being the vastly superior game. Considering all those factors the question isn't so much where will de Blob 2 sell best, but rather where will it bomb less hard. The answer to that is Wii.

 

 

 

They've also mapped jump to A instead of waggle and they've removed the mixing colours mechanic and replaced it with direct change from red to blue (rather than going green) for example.

There's a few other nice little additions as well. Slightly better game.



Yes.

Oh and it saves as you go not after finishing a level.

That was daft!

This game looks like it's aimed for casual gamers, so the Wii is probably where it will sell the best.

Those are some welcome minor changes, but the biggest common complaint about the first game was the repetition.

Anyway, as it is, de Blob 2 will have a hard time selling, now that all consoles have more fleshed out libraries. Being slightly better than the first game just doesn't cut it.


Agreed. I haven't gone beyond stage 1 yet due to Kirby and Pokemon Black, but will add further comments if it changes or adds anything of note. I enjoyed the painting. It's made for OCD people :)

Well, the Wii version sold around 5,500, the PS3 version around 1,200 and the 360 version around 800.

So it hasn't really lit up any sales pages sadly.
