Here’s the latest from Kyle in the 2D Boy blog:
- Translations into 5 languages (english, spanish, french, italian, german) is 91% done. I hope one day we’ll be able to do Japanese too…
- Cut-scenes: finishing up the very last end-of-game sequence, and the credits movie
- OCD: We’re putting in “OCD Flags” for each level, “Obsessive Completion Distinction”, received if you complete a level under under extremely difficult criteria (ie. extremely high ball count, very fast, etc)
- Playtesting: we’re having friends and family play through the whole game, on camera, so we can tune level difficulty, find out if objectives are unclear, confusing, etc. Thanks to the Flashbang guys for kicking this off!

This game just looks better and better! =D Can't wait for it.
Man, I was just thinking yesterday, "Where the hell is that Goo game that was so hyped up a few months back?" Really excited for this one, sounds like production is nearly complete. Now, we just need to overcome the beast that is publishing!
Looking very good. Keep it up and get it out!
I'm expecting an early October release.
Pay attention developers this is the stuff that we want on wiiware.
I hope the gameplay is as good as the graphics. It sure looks pretty.
wow the release is right around the corner.... which is good cuz i cant wait anymore.
Hmm... Wario Land 5 or this?
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait 4 this game hopefully it does come out next month
For us it gets better.
It's a retail game for to much money!
@Mr Game & Watch
AGREED. If it's not on WW (or isn't budget priced) I won't be getting it. 2D Boy said previously it won't be budget or full priced - so that probably means £30-ish. If only there was a chance of the game (-extra content) still appearing on WW in the future.
What's even funnier is that you guys still hope it's actually coming to WiiWare. Retail only guys, it's the only fair way to distribute the game.
Wait, I'm confused. Is it going to be a WiiWare game for the US or for Europe?
The hope is a (potentially crippled) version of the game WiiWare for the US and a full retail version for the EU (and most likely also the US) complete with 'bonus content' (read: even more crappy cut-scenes, better image quality and a couple of extra levels / challenges)
Basically, the US get screwed over in (possibly) having to buy the game twice (I can guarantee WiiWare will appear considerably earlier than retail in the US) and EU sales will be a total failure because no-one wants to spend £30+ on a game that fits into 344 blocks (43MB) of memory - unless it's FFCC:MLaaK
Have they actually said that is the extent of the bonus content, Calculon, or are those your assumptions?
Personally, I wouldn't buy the retail version either, so I'm glad the US is getting the downloadable version. I prefer short, cheap games. I just hope they don't save multiplayer or online play for the retail version. That would probably prevent me from getting either version.
I'm not buying it either. I would have had it been downloadable. But 30 quid is too much.
new info for World of Goo
World of Goo - more details (retail copy delayed in Europe, WiiWare version hits NA this year)

So, basically no clue about what to expect with the retail game - yet again. So I'm holding on to my comment above - sarcasm about extra features included.
Whilst 50+ levels sounds good, what really impresses me is the themes - fanboyism? marketing? err... ok. I also like the way they're trying to break down the Wiimote features like they're something special. Sounds more like a marketing cry to the retail crowd of "This is what you'll get too, but we're trying to make it look like you're getting value for money - honest!"
The £30+ price tag sucks too - I think I'll stick with buying de Blob for my ultimate indie based retail gaming experience.
I love how the talk is how the NA version will suck because some Europeans are angry that they have the retail only version. Seriously? Get over it. Ours is cheaper, yours has more. Both win.
I want this game so much!!! It looks very good!
Yeah the Europeans make me sick. They're a bunch of babies.
Man, I would've bought this if it was a Disk game. This is quite sad, though I'm sure the "less informed" would buy it without being spiteful of the rather decent price(for a disk game, I usually have to wait a year for prices to drop that low). That Moon chapter sounds pretty cool, too. This is definitely on the top of my Most-Wanted list.
Edit: Wait, is 40 Euros more or less than 40 US dollars?
It's more, since the US dollar has been declining in value.
Nevermind, that is a rip-off .
This game is looking like a high budget production. well done guys, can't wait to get my hands on it.
@Mickeymac. OK then, always glad to help.
Yeah, I was interested in this game earlier, but now it looks kinda stupid.
