About a week ago, it was stated that Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! was 'literally in the final steps' to completion. It wasn't stated exactly what this meant, but the implication was that there would be more news in the near future. It appears that this was indeed the case, as a new post recently went up on the game's website that gave a progress update many will no doubt be very happy to see.
The game has officially made it through LotCheck for both Nintendo of Europe and America. After the somewhat troubled development this has gone through, it's good to see that the game is finally so close to a release. No release date was given, but one will be announced 'shortly', so hopefully the wait won't be too long.
What do you think? Are you glad that Oddworld is at last ready for release? For those that have played it on other platforms, what did you think? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Can't wait too play thru this on the Wii u.
I loved Abe's Odysee/Exoddus on the PSX, looking forward to picking up the Wii U version!
I've never played a game in the series as in their prime I was , tbh, a bit too much of a Nintendo fanboy at school. I've made a point of challenging this part of me in the last five years and trying to experience the franchise that I never appreciated but everyone loved. It's been really rewarding so far and this is on my list, I just hope I don't get priced out of the game. It is pretty cheap on other consoles already after all!!
I'll eventually pick this up.
Is it me or the game looks less "shiny" on Wii U? Not that that's a bad thing!
I think Nintendo dropping the 8GB version played a huge part in this. I'm glad it's finally come to realisation! Can't wait to pick it up!
Looks odd....
Played the first 2, will definitely pick it up
I always wonder why no physical release, just not good enough for that. I spotted the physical copy of Shovel Knight in a local store this week selling at a budget price of £20.00. What's that all about?
@zool Basically, it boils down to cost and it allows them more freedom with the development cycle of, for example, when to release. They have announced a limited run physical version for Vita so far, however I don't believe Nintendo has embraced extremely small limited print games.
will pick this up, loved the original years ago
Without Alf dlc I presume?
@Warruz suikoden tierkreis begs to differ
This game was announced for Wii U in NA quite a while ago and has been sitting on Nintendo.com
Another one on the watch list.
I'd rather it were Stranger's Wrath or Munch's Odyssey but I'll buy this anyway.
@jmbarnes101 I recall them saying Nintendo asked for this on the condition they also got strangers wrath HD too... Guess that's long forgotten
I want this but I've been waiting so long my enthusiasm for it has long since dried up. I didn't buy any of the other modern versions, so its not like I've played it. It kinda feels like its time is past. I've got better/newer games on my to buy/backlog lists
Yet another game that is owned by EVERYONE on different platforms before it comes to Wii U.
Another game way too late game for the Wii U that will probably cost 20 Euros/Dollars while the PS4 and PC versions are frequently on sale for 5 Euros/Dollars...
@zool
Physical releases cost more to produce and distribute because the game needs to be printed and each step in the supply chain need it's margin. For publishers there is far less financial incentive to release a physical version of a game, especially when they don't expect to sell many copies. Why some publishers do anyway, is a mystery to me. Fan service maybe?
Well, I'm eager for the Wii U version, but it's so cheap on the PS4 and it will inevitably drop at some point on the eshop anyway, so I'll be waiting. It really does look good.
This game was one of my faves on the PlayStation and so glad that the reboot is making its way to the Wii U. Hopefully all the sequels will arrive on Wii U too.
The reboot on the PC was a little shoddy with control schemes and such. I might just pick this up (again) if the WiiU experience is smooth.
Yay! Finally!
@LavaTwilight I love that game, but does it has to do with the previous comment? Did Ninteno helped with its distribution or something? Am I missing anything?
@maceng o no probably not. I see what Warruz was saying, but Tierkreis was DS-exclusive and was extremely limited in number (here in the West anyway) so in that sense there was a limited release but whether Nintendo helped with the development or not I don't know. I suppose they helped just as much as they helped with New N Tasty.
Didn't I already get this game free on my PS4, like, a year ago?
I got tired of waiting so I got this on Xbox One.
