Nibris shows possible real game: Double Bloob
Controversial developer Nibris, known for the Wii Sadness trailer and the DS Raid Over The River, shared some videos and pictures of a new(ish) game with Cubed3. Double Bloob is the new name for Double Pang, which indicates that either they lost the rights to the Pang series (also known as Buster Bros.) or never had them in the first place. Double Bloob is a puzzle game about harpooning some huge bouncing blobs, likely called Bloobs, causing them to double. Given that there's a video of Double Bloob being played on a DS Lite, this may actually exist in some playable form. We hope. We're rooting for them to finish a game, at this point, hopefully after running spell-check. Check out the shaky video after the break.

That felt like watching a bad pirated dvd
The game seems interesting, but its seems like just a minigame that would hold one's attention span for so long until it gets boring to do the same thing over again on harder levels. If its a full price DS game ($30) it needs an adventure, multiplayer and/or online mode imo.
I couldn't find the spelling error since the vid is so blurry, or did you mean grammar check? "too bad they got you!" Oh man, Nibris is really trying to reach the "hip" young crowd (either that or school dropouts)

I call BS. Any ROM in a DS, even a preview ROM, boots to the Nintendo safety screen first. That just booted and went to the game.

@2 - That's a real video. In the first few frames you can see he launched it from a DS-X cart, which means he was already past the Nintendo safety screen.

randomguy has a point, at the beginning of the video, he just turned on the DS, you can see the green light flash on the right, and it went straight to the game. Odd
