Ziggurat Interactive and Limited Run Games are serving up a nostalgic feast for classic gaming aficionados. Hold on to your controllers, peeps—A Boy and his Blob: Retro Collection hits PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on October 17, 2023.
Retro Vibe Meets Modern Consoles
The collection delivers two iconic titles from the NES and Game Boy era, namely A Boy and his Blob: Trouble in Blobolonia and its sequel, The Rescue of Princess Blobette. Both US and Japanese versions are included, giving you a full slice of history to munch on.
Trouble in Blobolonia: The Adventure Begins
In the first game, players find themselves on a quest to save Blobolonia from the sinister grasp of an evil Emperor. Teaming up with Blobert (or Blob, if you like keeping it casual), players utilize 14 unique jelly beans. These beans are the key to transforming Blobert, allowing gamers to navigate tricky levels and solve puzzling challenges.
Rescue Mission: Saving Princess Blobette
In the sequel, the adventure unfolds in Blobolonia’s Royal Castle where Princess Blobette is trapped by the wicked Alchemist. The Boy and Blob duo return to thwart evil plans, save the princess, and show the Alchemist the door.
Carbon Engine Powers Up The Gameplay
The A Boy and his Blob™: Retro Collection isn’t just a mere rehash. It’s fired up by Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine™, which blends old-school vibes with contemporary improvements. Think Trophies for your PS4/PS5, aesthetic filters to jazz up the visuals, and yes—the sweet, sweet addition of save states. No more getting booted back to square one.

The collection becomes a digital reality on October 17th, 2023, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 platforms. Don’t miss out on this throwback treasure trove.
