Attachment Before Ubisoft purchased the franchise, the game was being developed on the Heroes of Might and Magic IV engine by New World Computing. This version of the game was scrapped when publisher 3DO filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in mid-2003. In August of 2003, Ubisoft acquired the rights to the Might and Magic franchise for $1.3 million. Ubisoft gained access to NWC's assets and documents for the game, but it was decided to throw them away and create a completely new game using a 3D engine. Much of NWC's concept and in-game art can be found online.

They stated that the staff had continued to make the game in secret.

It was later revealed that the game was an April Fools joke.

A Boy and His Blob for the Wii was not publisher Majesco's first attempt at putting an A Boy and His Blob game out. Before the 2009 re-imagining of the 1989 game A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia, Majesco shelved two games in the series.

A Boy and His Blob: Jelly's Cosmic Adventure was planned for a release in 2002 on the Gameboy Advance and had completely changed visuals of the "boy" and Blobert according to the boxart.

Also, a 2005 sequel to the original was planned for release in the Nintendo DS, but was cancelled 20% into development.

Both of these games were cancelled due to financial trouble at Majesco.

The developers wanted to release the game for Nintendo WiiWare, however due to Nintendo's 40 megabyte cap for WiiWare titles, they weren't able to reduce the game's size to fit. Content which would've had to be reduced was the music, to achieve the intended file size, however, the developers felt the tracks should be kept as they helped to provide an impact to the game.

The developers instead tried to find a publisher who would release a retail Wii version of the game, but the three biggest publishers said, "there's no money in third-party retail (on the Wii)".
