PS5 Limited Run #48: A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection

Jellybeans have never been more important. PS5 Limited Run #48: A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection for PlayStation 5 puts both the original NES A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia and the Game Boy sequel, The Rescue of Princess Blobette, together on a single region-free physical disc.

These games are a time capsule from the era when a bizarre premise and imaginative mechanics could carry an entire adventure. Feed your blob different flavored jellybeans, watch it transform into ladders, trampolines, blowtorches, and bridges, then use those transformations to navigate increasingly tricky platforming puzzles. It was weird in 1989 and it's still weird now, and that's exactly why we love it.

Having both titles preserved on a PS5 disc gives these NES and Game Boy classics a modern home that should outlast any digital storefront uncertainty. The Retro Collection format means you're getting the games as they were, no remakes, no reimaginings, just the originals in their pure pixelated glory.

For collectors building out their PS5 Limited Run numbered set, #48 fills a slot with genuine retro pedigree. For everyone else, it's two cult classics from gaming's most experimental era, saved on a disc you can hand to someone and say, "trust me, just try the jellybeans."
