THQ has quietly revealed a release date for De Blob 2 (now minus "The Underground"), the multiplatform sequel to the Wii splatformer: February 22, 2011. The date was revealed on the newly launched website, along with the box art for each version, which also reveals Move compatibility for the PS3 version. Interestingly, the box art carries the "SyFy Kids" logo, suggesting that the network is partnering with THQ not just for other Blob media based on the game, but for the game as well.
After the break, check out a trailer. You can see more footage of the HD version in IGN's video preview, which reveals that special "target buildings" must be reclaimed not just by painting them, but by completing 2D challenges.
Yes. Looking forward to those as well. We could use some more for HD consoles. Always an annoying shake mechanic in Wii platformers and I don't like the Wii controller for platformers and classic controller isn't always supported.
Played 5 R&Cs. I love the series but after 4 of them I don't know if I could play another one for a while. I would recommend R&C to anybody who hasn't played one but not for me.
Forgot about Sly! I will be getting that. Sly 1 was awesome. Sly 2 not as much as the open world was annoying after a while. Need to beat Sly 3 with the collection.
@FriedConsole You do realize that they'll most likely have some sort of shake mechanic for this game on the Move as well, yes? Well, rather, a swing mechanic.
@Falcon Punch Yeah totally annoying. I mean I get that eveyone wants to be recognized but isnt that what the title cards are for when you start the game? You don't see this problem on DVD cases, and there are oftentimes many production companies involved...
Will it be any difference between the PS360 and the Wii games other than HD?

Description
In de Blob 2 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, Comrade Black is back and so is his war on color.
