Noby Noby Boy moves 100,000 units, bowels

by Justin McElroy on Aug 10th 2009 3:00PM

This is one of those posts that's all about perception. If we were to tell you that Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi said the game had sold 100,000 units to date, for example, you might think "Oh, that's a small number, considering the 24 million-unit size of the PS3 install base."

You might say that. But then we'd turn right around and remind you: That means that there are 100,000 people on this beautiful planet who said "Oh, a game about a four-legged worm-like thing that eats things and poops as he collaborates with other worm-like things on interplanetary travel? That's definitely something I'd like to spend the money that I've earned on."

Honestly, it's enough to make us a tear up, just a little.

i'm 1 100th of 1 percent!

.01%

.001%, actually. so that would actually make me 1 1,00th of 1 percent

I'll take your word on it. I just draw pictures all day. Me and math broke up 11 years ago.

math, she is a fickle mistress.

Word on the street is that math has been acting irrational lately.

i've heard that math has made up some imaginary friends, too. sounds to me like the situation is getting a little complex.

A fellow told me she was going back to her roots looking for a transcendental experience, but just couldn't find the right answer.

STOP IT STOP IT ARGH. Awful maths pun flashbacks from school.

They need to add a Deathmatch mode to this game.

Don't forget that you can also poop the stuff out so hard that it shoots your butt off.

then you eat your own butt

...and if that ain't worth $5, I don't know what is.

This game is so fun when your on acid.

Way to go against your own beliefs, Captain Planet.

....5 years of preaching not to do drugs and to take care of the environment...then this.

Besides why are you playing this game anyways? Isn't captain planet more interested in what goes in the butt instead of what comes out the butt?

DAMN!

DOUBLE DAMN!

It's also really good on weed... yes I bought it also.

wow, i'm even more put off drugs now that i know how one could take acid.

It's also really good while taking bong hits... yes, I bought it also.

Definitely dude; I ended up playing this game for almost an entire trip on shrooms, hbwr seeds, and a lot of dmt. Well this game flower and flow (also great games in that state).

I bought this game because of the low price point and how ridiculous the concept is. Had fun for a couple hours and haven't played it since.

Likewise. Even compared to Katamari, it is extremely shallow and not at all entertaining.

I play a little bit every few weeks, but I'm really looking forward to Katamari. I don't regret the purchase, the more people show they're willing to spend a little for something different the better the chances that the PSN will continue to be the place for people who like more than run-of-the-mill shovelware (though I can't wait for Shadow Complex, I hope it makes it to PSN too.)

The thing I like most about this game is that there IS no point. I can just pick it up and muck around for 10 minutes or so just goofing off. The game is actually rather relaxing, and just sitting back and watching all the nutty in-game characters walk around (and then eating them) always bring a smile to my face.

If they added online multiplayer I'd probably be playing it even more.

I'm sure they considered it, but found tangling to be a major problem.

Yeah, I was thinking they could just limit it to 4 per stage. Hell I have tangling problems just playing it with two people! That's part of the fun though, like worming your way through untangling a huge mess of NES controllers.

I bought it also. It is a trippy, simple, entertaining game. Although I have to admit.. I've only played it for a few hours.

Maybe I'm not stoned enough when I play this (which is rather impossible) but I didn't really liked this "thing"...

my favourite "chill out game" is definitely Flower.
