Oddworld's Munch Hopping onto PSN/Vita Quarter Two 2012.

No word on whether an Xbox 360 edition is planned.

Just a few weeks ago developer Just Add Water delivered on their promise to rerelease Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath in glorious HD.  Many gamers would have been content with seeing this underappreciated gem get a second chance on a new platform, but according to a tweet from their official Twitter account, the folks running Oddworld these days have further plans to spread the HD love by announcing Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee for an end of quarter two release.

Some may remember that Munch’s debut was a launch title for the original Xbox.  The game was the first Oddworld title to feature a character that wasn’t Abe and was the beginning of the second chapter of what was supposed to be a pentalogy of stories concerning the inhabitants of the titular world.  Along with the announcement of the game, Just Add Water also provided the game’s logo, a comparison image (above) and news that it will be coming to the PlayStation 3, Vita and “others,” so Munch’s Oddysee may end up like Stranger’s Wrath, which still hasn’t appeared on the Xbox 360 due to supposed file size limitations on Microsoft’s downloadable platform.

Super Metroid Review Rewind

More stunning confessions from me to you! I didn’t get into the Metroid series until Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion, and didn’t even play Super Metroid until maybe two years after I played Metroid Prime. While the first Prime title took many design inspirations from Super Metroid, I didn’t enjoy Super Metroid at first, mostly because I played it through less than reputable means. Once I got to play it on the Wii Virtual Console, I finally understood why this game is considered an SNES classic. Super Metroid sports great game design, with a wonderful atmosphere unparalleled on any 16-bit system. At only 30 cents on the Wii U eShop until June 16, there’s little reason to not give this excellent title a shot.
