This week in the Nintendo Download, some old games have been offered which are brand-new to American Nintendo consoles. One is the remastered version of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, retitled “Oddworld: New ‘n Tasty.” The other is the US debut of the GBA puzzle game Kuru Kuru Kururin, where you carefully navigate through mazes while piloting a very horizontal helicopter that makes this task difficult.
Two more handheld games have been added to Virtual Console too: Big Brain Academy and Polarium Advance. Also look for the usual number of sales on obscure indie titles. The full details are within Nintendo’s press release below.
