OMG So Cute Dept.: Majesco said Wednesday that it will revive the cult classic NES game A Boy and His Blob for Wii, releasing unto the world this batch of heartbreakingly adorable screenshots.

Developed by WayForward, creators of critically acclaimed games like Contra IV and Shantae, the game will be released this holiday season. 2009 is the 20th anniversary of the original 8-bit game's release.

One of the last console games created by legendary Activision guru David Crane, *A Boy and His Blob *featured stunningly innovative gameplay – you fed your Blob from your bag of many-flavored jellybeans, which caused him to transform into a variety of different helpful items. Using your transformed Blob was key to solving the game's puzzles, collecting enough items so that you could return to the Blob's home planet and defeat the evil emperor.

What the NES game did not have was graphics this unbelievably cute. More screens below, if you can stand it.
