We don’t generally feature Virtual Console items as news, but this one is kindof a big deal. To celebrate it’s 20th Anniversary, Majesco Entertainment is now releasing A Boy and his Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia for the Virtual Console. The classic NES game is now 20 years old. While the new A Boy and his Blob just came out, gamers can now see where it all started.

Taking place in 2001 (the future from its original release), the game’s touching storyline begins when an Evil Emperor imprisons the inhabitants of Blobolonia. One brave soul by the name of Blob, full name Blobert, escapes his home planet looking for help. He crash-lands on Earth only to find a young boy. Luckily, when the Boy feeds Blobert flavored jellybeans, the blob transforms into various helpful shapes such as the Licorice Ladder, Fruit-Punch Hole and Hummingbird Honey. Using the magical candy and teamwork, the duo sets out to free Blobolonia and vanquish the Evil Emperor as they traverse through the head-scratching, side-scrolling puzzle action that has become legend in the annals of videogame history.

A Boy and his Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is rated E for Everyone and available for 500 Wii Points.
