Video game developer and publisher, Majesco, the studio who published Cooking Mama in 2006 and Double Dragon Neon in 2012 , is planning to release A Boy and His Blob for “next-gen consoles and in some cases, PC” within the next two fiscal years, Polygon reports.
According to the report, Majesco is stepping away from retail releases and is placing exclusive focus on downloadable and mobile titles instead. Former CEO of Majesco, Jesse Sutton, had this to say about the transition between mediums within a letter to shareholders, “With the rapidly changing landscape of connected gaming, we have faced increasingly challenging market conditions while watching the high risk retail gaming business diminish in importance”. Sutton concluded his statement by mentioning that Majesco, “has reduced its exposure to the retail market with a renewed focus on the download gaming business, which has come to dominate the market.”
On July 27, Jesse Sutton resigned from his position as CEO of Majesco and was replaced by David Rector.
A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia originally released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 and relaunched in 2009 as A Boy and His Blob for Wii.
