Just Add Water CEO and Oddworld Inhabitants development director Stewart Gilray has been siging Nintendo's praises in a recent interview, and states that the company is "fantastic" to work with.
Speaking to Nintendo Everything, Gilray also revealed that NoA indie supremo Dan Adelman asked for Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD on Wii U. Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! is also coming to Nintendo's console.
Gilray added that in the past Nintendo's hardware and digital presence threw up roadblocks when it came to developing with the Japanese firm, but those issues no longer exist:
Their developer relations man is a fan of the franchise so reached out to us to ask for that title specifically, that’s where the discussions started. In terms of what are they like to work with, they’re fantastic. I’ve NEVER had a problem with working with Nintendo in respect of their people and teams, it’s been a case of a problem in terms of the hardware and indeed the lack of a competent digital outlet, until now.

Both of these games will be Day 1 purchases for me
will support oddworld, loved the ps1 abe's oddesy, day one purchase for me ^^
I'm glad things are working out between them. I'll pick up the game as soon as possible.
Guess I'll be looking into Oddworld. Yet why am I not surprised...
loved all oddworld games to date i be will downloading them on day one
These are probably going to be the next non-retail eShop games I download. I liked this game when I was younger, but never owned it.
I'll buy it too, I like the PS version a lot!
Also plan on getting both of these.
...And you have been fantastic to play with too!!
I bought strangers wrath for the original xbox.to those who dont know its one of the best third person adventures ever made,and in terms of atmoshere and worlds at least stands with the zelda titles. I then bought it on psn and love it still.And because of the enthusiasm and suport oddworld inhabitants have shown wiiu and nintend I will be purchasing strangers wrath and new n tasty day for the wiiu too. Anyone know when strangers wrath is going to be released?
I'll try them both out.
I just hope they release sooner rather than later.
i will get oddworld new n' tasty for wii u, but i can get strangers wrath HD for my ps3 & ps vita for just 17€ so i will pass this one on wii u
Will buy Strangers Wrath when it arrives.
That's what the Wii U needs - a port of an original Xbox game. That'll sell some systems.
Because every game on the console needs to be a 'system seller' right?

Funny how this happens after just about every Oddworld title has given Nintendo consoles the cold shoulder, without counting the GB/GBC/GBA titles obviously.
I want to try them. I only hear good things about them.
@koopakid no one said this would be a system seller. Its still great addition to have
I always loved the odd world style. I'll buy the heck out of these!
I'll probably pick them up, I've heard good things...
Day one, no minute one, actually second one. I'm getting these.
Dan is the man.
I have always wanted to play Stranger's Wrath ever since it originally came out! Looks like my chance to do so may finally arrive!
For sure. I will buy anything OddWorld. I am loving the eShop so far! Have a ton of games already. 12 on disc, 5 VC and 5 Indies!
@koopakid You know what they say. You can't have a system without ports. Even if ports don't necessarily sell systems.
Never got into the series but played the first game briefly and enjoyed it. Wanted to play Strangers but never got the chance so these will be purchases
Getting Stranger's Wrath whenever it arrives. Glad to hear that Nintendo is actually looking for games for the eShop by going to the developers directly. So many successful kickstarter campaigns seem to prove there is a lot of interest and support from gamers towards indie games.
I love comments like this! Makes me feel confident about how Nintendo is doing!
On here and at PushSquare I'm always reading about how developers, particularly smaller studios, love working with Nintendo and Sony respectively. I never see this kind of news on Xbox-based websites. MS needs to get its head out of its rearend.
@Mqblank
Stranger's Wrath is definitely worth a purchase, it's an awesome game. Personally my favorite in the series.
Absolutely. Loved the original Oddworld and am ready to check out anything new from the developers.
Such happy memories of Abe's Odyssey on the PS1
I really hope they bring out Munch's Odyssey as well. I loved that game. (and I hope they come to the 3DS as well)
I'd love to give Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath a try. It looks pretty cool.
I'll be buying the discs for this game!
@Mainer82
I thought they were dl only
