Katamari-inspired indie game De Blob coming to Wii

by John Bardinelli { Jun 29th 2007 at 3:15PM }

German magazine Maniac! is reporting the student demo project De Blob will be making its way to the Wii sometime next year. The Katamari-inspired game (which PC users can download for free) puts you in control of a squidgy blob rolling around the city painting the buildings different colors. It's a simple 3D game that unfortunately has some hefty system requirements, but it's free, and it's quite a bit of fun. Blue Tongue Entertainment is working on the Wii port and THQ will publish the title in 2008.

Looks interesting. Though I'm getting pretty tired of freeware being ported over to Wii/DS.

Well, it isn't like this is the only system where this is happening. I mean, look at Sony: They already released flOw on the PSN and, just like the DS, they are getting the retail release of N. I'm not quite sure about the 360, but I'm sure the XBLA has more than a few titles along those lines.

Of course, when it comes to the Wii, it is to be expected - the system was a sudden success and people are rushing to cash-in, or, depending on your point of view, rushing to cash-in before they hype wears down.
