Sam n' Max

First things first: Telltale Games is bringing the first season of Sam n’ Max to the Wii this fall, as a retail compilation disc. The game is slated to hit both the U.S. and Europe at the same time. Nice, guys! (Source: Chris Kohler, via Game|Life)


And here’s a new trailer for De Blob, the Wii-ified version of student-made The Blob. The trailer was released at THQ Gamer’s Day this month (THQ is developing and publishing the title). There’s also a gameplay video from earlier this year.

Even though I still don’t really like the way they Mountain Dewed the blobby protagonist, I have high hopes for this one overall! It’s coming out in September (hopefully).


Last but not least, a new trailer for Blast Works, the shoot ‘em up based on Kenta Cho’s Tumiki Fighters that’s slated for a May release. The trailer shows off some of the extensive in-game customization, as well as a new game mechanic: you can suck in attachments and bring them out again at will. Interesting! (EDIT: Okay, so that mechanic is also in Tumiki Fighters! I had no idea!) It also confirms that rRootage, Gunroar, Torus Trooper, and Tumiki Fighters will be playable in the game as unlockables.

    Blast Works needs to have Noiz2sa as an unlockable.

  2. Mr Peckerston said about 2 hours later:

    You can suck in attachments and bring them out again at will in Tumiki Fighters too! If you couldn’t do that, it’d be impossible to keep them during hard sections.

  3. K. Thor Jensen said about 3 hours later:

    Blast Works is looking really, really great - kudos to the developer for pushing the envelope and not just doing a quick port.

  4. Mischief Maker said about 3 hours later:

    It has rRootage. Take your pick, but I’d say either rRootage or Parsec47 rendered Noiz2sa obsolete.

    Then again, you could just “unlock” them by DLing the games off Kenta Cho’s site. Frankly, this whole “unlocking” garbage is one of my least favorite trends in games over the past few years. I “earned” the money I forked over to buy the stupid game, I don’t want to spend hours and hours of leisure time “pretend earning.”

    It wasn’t until I saw this video that I realized how much Tumiki Fighters has in common with the (later developed) Katamari Damacy.

    Yeah! Build, trade, destroy!

  6. Mar said about 5 hours later:

    I love how indie games are slowly starting to bleed into the mainstream. The original developers should be getting some serious mulah for this.

  7. Ilia Chentsov said about 7 hours later:

    Those evil invaders sound like Ubisoft’s Rabbids.

  8. FishyBoy said about 8 hours later:

    Somehow I doubt Nintendo will let BlastWorks go through with the ship trading thing, since they fear someone out there will make a deadly phallus ship.

    Just wondering if you guys have done an article about this little known indie gem called Ad Astra.

    Which month is Fall? seasons are different all over the planet, I have no idea why they’re referred to for release dates. They could at least say ‘3rd quarter’ or whatever. I’m looking foward to a wii-ified version of S&M, I was gonna get it on PC but if there’s a Wii version…

  11. Smithy said about 11 hours later:

    as well as a new game mechanic: you can apparently suck in attachments and bring them out again at will.

    That’s not a new mechanic…

  12. someone said about 11 hours later:

    sam and max is indie?

  13. BeamSplashX said about 11 hours later:

    Their bullets are.

  14. MisterSmith said about 12 hours later:

    sam and max is indie?

    They’re indier than John Madden.

  15. Derek said about 12 hours later:

    @Mr Peckerston: you just changed TF completely for me forever! runs off to start playing

  16. JackSnap said about 13 hours later:

    Man, that sucking in stuff wasn’t in TF until 0.2 In my day, with version 0.1…

    ramble incoherently
