De Blob’s back! And the Syfy network is… still here. Yeah! So, logically, it only makes sense that the two would team up, right?

de Blob has sold more than 700,000 units worldwide, THQ boss Brian Farrell told the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco this morning.

Despite a disastrous retail environment, the game has held its $49.99 price point after around five months of availability.

“We can make money on games like that,” Farrell said.

“The competition on the Wii right now is from Nintendo. That’s what we’ve got to attack,” he added. “The people who buy Nintendo games, [we want to] get them to buy things like de Blob.”

More on Edge.

A THQ rep has told IGN that after the company’s evaluation of deBlob Wii sales, we can expect to see more games in the future.

“We’re pleased with de Blob’s performance worldwide,” the rep noted. “It’s a great intellectual property and you can tell your readers to expect to see more of de Blob in the future.”

Can’t say it any clearer than that, really.

THQ has released a new gameplay video of up and coming Wii conversion de Blob. Take a look after the link.

The idea of the game – which has been out on PC for ages – is that you have to paint the world with colour. Evil corporation Ink Corp has removed all the colour from the world and de Blob crash lands on earth to put the flush back where it belongs.

Four primary colours can be combined in order to make a whole array of shade to complete various tasks. It’s fairly basic stuff, dare we say it. De Blob colours the world by bouncing into things. with its progress hindered by Inkies.

Now you know. Watch the video.
