Majesco Entertainment has appointed a new CEO and is shifting away from retail games to exclusively focus on digital games, the company announced.
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "I really enjoyed my time with A Boy and His Blob. I definitely understand now why this adorable little game won the hearts of so many. It might not being the most challenging game on the market, but it’s still a lot of fun. The levels are all very brief, which makes it an ideal game for the Switch. It’s the perfect game to pick up and play on-the-go."
"Today, publisher of retro-and-modern games Ziggurat Interactive announced that the unique and cherished classic puzzle platformer “A Boy and His Blob“, is coming to the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop today." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

Nice. I remember the first game back in the day. Kind of poorly executed but kind of innovative in a way. Falling through the floor into random stuff below kind of reminded me of that old home alone game where you could fall through the floor and see treasure sitting on the hell-like underground below. Man game design was open-ended back then. I miss the first Contra.
"exclusively focus on digital games"
Boooo, retail all day.
Wow... looks rough for them.
They originally had 16 employees, and now they are down to a whopping 5! I guess that's enough if they are only focusing on digital and mobile games now... :/
Btw, the new A Boy and His Blob game is called "Glue".
The old NES version was pretty cool... you fed your blob some jelly beans and it aquired certain powers. It feels good to see some of the games we played growing up are being remade.
I loved Wii version, so nicely done.. so this makes me excited..
