The Rescue of Princess Blobette was developed by Imagineering and designed and programmed by David Crane, who was also the lead designer on Trouble on Blobolonia. An untitled follow-up to Trouble on Blobolonia was revealed during in the September 1990 issue of GamePro. On November 9, 1990, The Rescue of Princess Blobette was first released in Japan by Jaleco under the title Fushigi na Blobby: Princess Blob o Sukue! (不思議なブロビー~プリンセス・ブロブを救え!~?, lit. "Mysterious Blobby: Rescue Princess Blob!"). Absolute Entertainment, the parent company of Imagineering, published the game in North America during May 1991.
The rights to the A Boy and His Blob series are currently owned by Majesco. This company published a WayForward Technologies remake of A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia on the Wii, simply titled A Boy and His Blob, and re-released the classic NES game on the Wii Virtual Console in 2009. When Sean Velasco, director at WayForward, was asked if they were able to pick up The Rescue of Princess Blobette, he responded, "Blobette is also the property of Majesco, so there is no reason she could not appear in a new game. Oh man, we have such awesome ideas for her!"

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control.

When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”

And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
