According to NPD sales data, from its initial September 22 release to the end of 2008, THQ’s Wii platformer de Blob managed to sell 230,000 copies in North America alone; while these numbers may not look impressive when compared to games like Mario Kart Wii, de Blob managed to beat out Nintendo’s own platformer released around the same time, Wario Land: Shake It! The NPD sales figures managed to please THQ, as well: when asked for comment by IGN, a THQ representative mentioned that worldwide sales were also quite satisfactory, and responded that we can "expect to see more of de Blob in the future" without giving any specifics.
Aside from this news, the DS version of de Blob is still in development, slated for a release sometime in 2009.
This news absolutely makes my day. NintendoGal readers will remember I loved de Blob, and I can’t wait to play more.
