Variety reports that EA has shut down its mysterious Blueprint Division though not the projects that were being worked on. One of these ‘projects’ that will be allocated elsewhere is the previously unannounced Boom Blox 2. (working title)

Apparently, work is already underway on the sequel to the spring’s innovative Wii puzzle game that received critical acclaim and generated decent revenue after being briefly considered a sales flop.

No word yet if Steven Spielberg will be involved; more info on the upcoming title as it comes.


I'd forgotten about the original. Top game and worthy of a sequel. I'll have to fire the Wii up and have another go.

I only just got this last week. The physics on this are great although I have only played the first 8 levels of throwing.

I busted my shoulder playing this game and haven't been back since, but I think that's a sign of it's quality.

The statement about "sold well, despite originally being considered a flop" is interesting, in that it highlights the shifting sales model that the Wii and DS in particular champion - the "long legs" sales. The old concept of a game being a flop if it doesn't shift huge numbers in the first couple weeks is fast becoming outmoded, which is a good thing....
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

I think the original benefitted from a lot of "word of mouth" advertising.
