While Super Putty wasn't the most memorable game on the Super Nintendo, it was nonetheless a fun platformer which got remade for the Wii U and 3DS under the guise of Putty Squad.
System 3 still appears to have unfinished business with the amorphous blue blob as a Amazon UK listing has revealed that Super Putty Squad is on its way to Switch retail on December 1st.
We're guessing that the "Super" game will be based on regular Putty Squad which is available on most modern console platforms now. Here's some blurb from Amazon's page which gives an idea of what to expect:
One of Retro gaming's best loved heroes hits the Nintendo Switch in Super Putty Squad! This critically acclaimed platform adventure is back with stunning new rendered graphics, retuned and refined gameplay elements combined with an all new tutorial mode for supreme playability. Bounce, squidgy and stretch your way to victory as you help Putty save his kidnapped friends from certain death. Use Putty's extraordinary abilities to Stretch, Absorb, Fly, Inflate, Float, Mimic and Explode your way to pure platforming nirvana.

Well, I did enjoy the original... so maybe, putty maybe...
Hey, Putty Squad wasn't a remake of Super Putty, it was a sequel.
Putty was originally released for the Amiga in 1992, then a port Super Putty came out for the SNES in 1993.
Then there was a sequel called Putty Squad in 1994 which only came out on SNES in the EU and was cancelled on other consoles at the time.
Then they finally released it later, in 2013, on newer consoles as well as the original amiga version (pretty late amiga game).
This game, Super Putty Squad, is unlikely to be based on the original Putty or Super Putty at all, but is most likely just a new version of Putty Squad
Didn‘t that release on PS4 a few years back? Only know of it from the time Caddicarus reviewed that version and was ... less than enthusiastic about it.
I had the 3DS version. It was really buggy and they never released any of the patches or regular updates they promised. It's a shame because the original games were good.
I loved it as a kid on my Amiga. Never played 3DS or PS4 game
Saw its most recent PS4 version...not my thing for sure. I mean hey kudos to the fans but this is one I shall pass on.
Retail is always a good thing! On my wish list!
I'd prefer an updated version of the original game Putty from the Amiga. It came bundled with the Amiga 600 if memory serves me well.
The 3DS one was "OK" but it didn't really bring back the kind of fun I remember the SNES one being. The original was a real blast. Hopefully with this one it's a bit more consistent.
Got it on the 3ds. Played it on the Amiga.
What about a remake of the Amiga games, Flimbo's Quest, Zool and The Addams Family.
If this is free of the glitches plaguing the other new versions (or in any event sees patches that the 3DS didn't), then I'm up for this.
@zool I had thought that Amiga Addams Family was a port of the SNES game (which was later ported to the Genesis). Though that wouldn't get remade due to licensing.
I think Zool promoted some Euro candy. Chumba Chups or something. I don't know, never heard of it in America, only seen it in a review. Or was that a different game?
The one thing I remember seeing about Putty is it devours babies.
Really hope this comes with the SNES game as an unlockable!
@KingMike Chupa Chups and that was Zool 2 (the co. in question is based in Spain). I have seen them in the US, but not until years and years after Zool 2 was a thing.
As for Putty Squad: have it on PS4 and was seriously underwhelmed.
The image above the article reminded me of a game for Super Nintendo systems named Smart Ball.
I hope System 3 makes a polished retail version of Constructor Plus, that's all I want from them.
I would like system 3 to do a Myth remake or that might even remake ik+ eventually
@Mario500 Another game that will probably never be released again due to being made by Game Freak for Sony. Its sequel was also good but never officially released despite being (seemingly) nearly finished.
