One of the games I was most pleased to see under the tree this past Christmas was de Blob. It’s a great game all-around, it’s third party, and apparently it did very well–even better than Nintendo’s Wario Land: Touch Shake It!, which released on the same day.
The game did so well, in fact, that THQ all but confirmed a sequel will be coming our way.
A sign of things to come from third parties on the Wii? We’ll see, but it’s a solid start.
