de Blob remaster releasing this year on Nintendo Switch
de Blob is a puzzle platformer released on Wii back in 2008, and is regarded as one of the top third-party games on the console by many fans. And about 10 years later, the game is about to make another appearance on a Nintendo platform, with the announcement of the de Blob remaster for the Nintendo Switch by THQ Nordic.
Never heard of the game before? Here’s what it’s all about:
The evil I.N.K.T. Corporation has declared ‘Color is a Crime!’ and leeched Chroma City of all its beauty and interest. The race to rescue Chroma City has just begun, and only de Blob can save the world from a black-and-white future with his unique abilities to color the world back to life.
This remaster of de Blob is done by Blitworks, a company specialised in quality ports, who has already worked on Super Meat Boy on Nintendo Switch. It will be released sometime in 2018, and will available both at retail and on the Nintendo Switch.
Here’s what the boxart looks like:
