The Japanese sales are separated.

Now I have to get the last missing four rewards of the very last level. Then I'll have de Blob 100%.

Good to see this game selling well after the first week it certainly has rallied, 250,000 in a definite, maybe half a million if it can hold, If their is a character this year that has the appeal to become a company mascot it is De Blob.
I wonder what Blue TOngue's next project is, hopefully TH*q lets them have the same amount or more freedom and funding as deblob.
Blue Tongue is too talented to be wasted on Nicktoon games

Well, it's great! Only played the 1st level but it's very charismatic, something I sadly don't say about enough non-Japanese games.

Using the wiimote to jump feels weird at 1st, but started to feel more natural once I got my groove on, as it were.

Good to say sales holding up. Let's aim for a million!

Title is selling better the longer its out haha. Curious case of de Blob eh. Right now it's looking like it'll level be at about 30k a week without holiday sales. But with increasing Wii shipments we could see that continously increase. My guesses though are that ioi could be right in about 500k sold by the end of the year. I mean never count out any game on the Wii during the Holidays ahah. It's the one time of the year where you can say its hard for a game with modest hype and brand to not do well at least with the case of Wii.

I think price had a lot to do with this one. I think it would have been more reasonably priced at $40 and thus wouldn't be overshadowed by the release of Lego Batman this week.

However I'm hoping this will have a decent amount of legs and be able to go at least gold but this is very very doubtful. Looking like 300k tops right now. We'll just see how it does til the end of the year.
