LOST Nintendo DS Game FOUND After 15 Years (by us)

DidYouKnowGaming have acquired two builds of a lost Nintendo DS game that we are releasing in collaboration with Gaming Alexandria. This DS game was lost for over 15 years, but can now be enjoyed by all. We use "enjoyed" loosely.

A TON of planning and research went into this video. So if you like what you see, feel free to give this video a like and a share. Cheers 👍

It's nice to see that A Boy and His Blob at least had a happy ending with a successful Wii title after the DS game got canned

[EinDose]

It's good to have stories like this come out, so we can remember that not every cancelled game that never saw the light of day was a hidden gem. I think people are really prone to assuming that something they didn't get was exactly what they would've wanted, and sometimes... yeah, sometimes it's A Boy and his Blob on the DS.

You do a lot of good work DYKG! Keep up the videos

[TheCreepypro]

wow this was amazing I have been playing games for most of my life and had never heard of these games a shame what happed to the ds versions but the other two versions sound fun and I definitely want to try them out

[ninjspeaks]

Very cool doc-like styled video for this release. Loved it.

[Lovuschka]

Imagine if David Crane and his friends were paid well by Atari...
Todd Rogers would not have had an impossible World Record in Dragster.

[BlazeHeartPanther]

I loved the Boy and his Blob game for the Wii. Great gameplay, gorgeous hand drawn animation, and wonderful music. Wayforward really nailed it out of the park with that game and I hope to see more like it in the future.

[BlueLoveYT]

So happy seeing this game series having a happy ending. Never heard of this series, but I now have a new appreciation for the series' history

[GlitchManOmega]

Resident Evil 1.5, Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld Demos, and now this? What a time for lost and unused gaming content.

[empoleonmaster]

Thank you for this amazing video! Please release more ROMs in the future!

[RareSun]

That's intresting! I'm satisfied

[RemLasher]

What are you talking about Ketchup was in the original _Boy and his Blob._

[merman]

Funnily enough, I was reading about this in Unseen64's book Video Games You Will Never Play... now we can play it.
Back then I was helping playtest a DS game, a conversion of the classic arcade game Dragon's Lair. Not the version that was actually released, a version using compression techniques to give ALL the laserdisc original footage and gameplay. I even wrote an article on it for gamesTM magazine, but that version of the game was never published.

[dylanwickund]

Should have left out that detail about how X joined the team around that time it makes it eaiser to find him by finding the devolpers and find what ones joined around that time

[snaxandsoda]

It's weird...I've been playing video games for over 15 years and I have never in my entire life heard of A Boy and His Blob. Not the original on NES, nor the new one on the Wii, or the port to the Switch. Kind of crazy. Now that I know about it, it sounds kinda cool

[DJBXR]

“He’s just standing there, menacingly.”

[EricGranata]

This was easily the most rented game when I was growing up. So unique.

[MissAshley]

That art design! Woof! More like “A Rhapsody Street Kid and His Blob.”

This makes me miss All Your History Are Belong to Us. Such a good series.
