Polychromatic Extravaganza de Blob Will Be Making A Comeback Soon

Never played the original. But I want to!

I wonder how many times I can say 'YES!' before it would be overkill? Loved the first two games, and was sad when the development studio went kaput. Now to have my fingers crossed for a Wii U version!

I finally got around to play the original game, and I'm really enjoying it. Already planning to get the second game and play that too. I do hope it gets another sequel. Let's go De Blob 3!

Good to hear, but color heavy games without assistance for colorblind persons do not get my support.

This reminds me that I still gotta finish the first one

Hell yeah I wanna a sequel! Heck make two!

Never played it but am really intrigued. But something tells me the Wii U won't be getting any future releases, should Nordic Games decide to produce it.

Loved the first one on the Wii. I still have to play the second one, but I think I'll go for the 360 version to enjoy HD.

Loved the original de Blob. SO much fun just splattering the city. I have the sequel but it's on my wall of shame list. Looking forward to another game!

I thought we were already getting a sequel and it was called Splatoon?

I can't be the only person who sees the simialrites between those 2 IP.

I still wonder if this game inspired Splatoon in a y way...

De blob Wii U can be pretty interesting. The first was really a good game on the Wii. The second was a cash grab and flopped because they went greedy and went multiplatform and I didn't bother.

I would be interested. I wouldn't object to an HD remake either though.

Cool! I have both the first & second games but I've not even started either of them haha. I really should.

First one I loved on Wii, my daughter too more recently. Never played the second but a new de Blob on Wii U could be great

Give us a level editor.

@dumedum You should bother. The publisher's decision to go multiplatform doesn't alter the fact that the devs made a second great game.

I'd love to see a third title. The Gamepad would allow for some interesting color mixing mechanics.

Nice to see

Tons of potential in this series. I haven't played the second one yet.

Loved both de blobs for different reasons I think I like the 1st one a little more for its laid back feel to it. Didn't finish the 2nd 1 but I loved the hilarious cut scenes and the story was much deeper. Looking forward to a sequel or wouldn't even mind a remake with hd up grade and sum gamepad support.

My impression is that what killed this series was the mistaken effort to establish characters and story in a game that needed neither. I think going a more arcade-oriented route where you just got on with hopping and bopping and de blobing would be more appropriate.

I loved that game!

@rjejr Yeah, I think the versus mode in at least one of these games had the same color competition premise.

The first one is fantastic. The second one not so much. Will gladly buy a third if it comes to Wii U.

This would make perfect sense on the Wii U. Sadly, at this point we really can't take it for granted.

Yes!!! I desperately searched the internet after THQ's collapse and could not find out who bought de Blob. I'm delighted it's Nordic Games and I cannot wait for de new game!

Good to see! The first two were pretty fun.

I didn't know about De Blob until recently, when I showed a friend the Splatoon trailer, and she showed me footage of De Blob, saying that it reminded her of that. Still haven't played it, but I'd be willing to dive into a sequel/remake.

I actually owned both, but for lack of time I always go back to play the second one. After the new features, playing the first one was tedious.

Love both games and especially the soundtrack! Fingers crossed for a wiiu version!

I picked up de Blob 2 for cheap since I am a huge platformer fan. I played it only a few times, and was never impressed. The levels are huge, and I always reached the last checkpoint with nowhere enough time to finish the stage, so I would have to start clear back at the beginning. The controls were awkward, progression wasn't clear, and combat and gameplay were tediously repetitive. Pretty disappointing game actually.

@FragRed Yeah I'm pretty sure their idea of furthering the franchise is either remastering and porting the first two games to PS4/X1/PC, or developing a sequel for those very same platforms.

The Wii was a prime platform last generation. Unfortunately I don't think many developers are looking at Wii U and pondering how much money they could make with a sequel. I'm pretty sure they're pondering the other consoles though

That's okay though. I'm digging the Wii U just fine without em.

The music in this was just brilliant!

For the music, if nothing else.

Whatever they do with this franchise, be it a remake of the first 2 games or a sequel, they need to implement a much better save/checkpoint system into it. Not because the games are too hard (the difficulty is fine just as it is) but because if you're looking to do any level 100%, you can usually be looking at having to sit and play for an hour (or more) at a time before you can save your game. It put me off playing the first one in particular a lot (the second had a 'suspend' game feature, on Xbox 360 at least) as even though I really liked it I just wasn't able to dedicate myself (and my spare time) to it in the way that it needed to be.

....Thought it already got a sequel...? lol
(and no I'm not getting this mixed up with Splatoon, lol)
EDIT:...Oh, ok...yeah the article didn't say anything about de Blob 2...got me confused for a minute there. xD

I'm beyond expecting anything from Third Parties. De Blob was really cool, but even if we do get it I'll still expect it to be a half-assed port. I'm not going to delude myself into thinking any franchise will make it to the Wii U.

The two games are solid as games, but the characters and the animated vignettes are amazing.

A new game frorm a different studio would be hard pressed to capture the same humor and polish to the cartoon presentation, but maybe it could manage to bring the gameplay itself to a level where more people take notice.

No game was funkier than de Blob, ever. A Wii U sequel would be very welcome!
Makes me want to see something more about Splatoon.
Paint should be used in games more often, NFS Nitro still is my favourite NFS because of paint.

Beat the first, never got around to the second because apparently it wasn't quite as good. If the third one turns out well and it comes to Wii U I'll give it a go.

This article makes it sound like the writer is unaware that there already was a sequel on the Wii. Of course I'd love a third title, don't get me wrong.

Sequel DOES NOT mean "second". — Per Merriam-Webster "se·quel (noun) ˈsē-kwəl also -ˌkwel (1) a book, movie, etc., that continues a story begun in another book, movie, etc. (2) something that happens after and usually as a result of a previous event." — Sequel DOES NOT mean "second".

@Ian_Daemon Yes, but "second" can refer to a sequel.

They're going to need to get that odd, funky jazz band back for the music as well.

@Kroisos well the first did have better reviews and betters sales.

Yeah, De Blob 3 could be fun. But I hope they give it more "urgency" since the first 2 titles where probably to care-free. They where merely for relaxing, but not very strong platformers like Mario galaxy or DKC Returns.
