Earlier this month, we shared the news that a small selection of Oddworld games were headed to Nintendo Switch. The first of those was Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD, which launched last week, but it looks like we now know the second, too.
An ESRB rating has been spotted online for Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD on Nintendo Switch. This game initially launched as an Xbox exclusive, but several ports eventually found their way to release including one on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance and a number of 'HD' versions. The platformer has players switching control between Abe and Munch, using their specific abilities to progress, and has received decent reviews over time.
Here's a screenshot of the rating in question:
Usually, ratings like this one essentially serve as a confirmation that the game is indeed on the way, but we'd still recommend waiting for an official announcement before getting too invested. Our friends over at Push Square reviewed this one on PS Vita, saying that it's "not a bad game when taken in isolation, but it’s arguably the worst of the franchise’s four primary titles".
Would you grab this one if it came to Switch? Tell us below.

I hope this happens. Was obsessed with this game when I was a kid
That would be nice, loved the game.
I just hope they don't overcharge like what they did with Stranger's Wrath (great game, but it's not worth 30 dollars in my opinion).
But I haven't played this or have seen gameplay of it, so I can't say anything about it. Would like to check it out in the future though!
i hope this leads to soulstorm coming to switch eventually. with these HD Games coming to switch soon.
Yes please! Strangers wrath, possibly Abe's odyssey (for the ones who didn't have a Wii u or rival consoles). Then we are almost up to date. Hopefully also Soulstorm some day, but man that takes long...
At this rate we're not going to need a Direct with all these announcements. Loved Abe though
This and Paper Mario were games I got for my birthday. Which would be letting me loose in the store looking at covers and picking one because it looked cool.
Cant wait will be another preorder for sure
I loved the original game on PS, but I could get on with the update (I had on Wii U). The sound and voices were what I liked most about the original. The update was awful IMO
All these HD versions is same as the years old ones on Android.
The only difference is the price. They cost almost nothing on Android, and is overcharged on Switch.
I wouldn't be surprised, and I might actually pick this one up.
Maybe. . . I would definitely spring for Abe's Odyssey & Exodus.
@Ventilator hmmm small screen or 30 for 55in hmmm I'll pay 30 just like with strangers wraith
Might give it a try, I did enjoy the GBA one a bit.
@Darkyoshi98 Android TV isn't small screen... It runs at 1080p/60 on NVIDIA Shield TV on my 55" TV and 102" Projector,
Oddworld games on Android TV supports Wii U Pro Pad, Xbox One, 360, PS3/4 Gamepads and 100's of other gamepads.
I rather pay 3$ for 1080p/60 with support for 100's of gamepads than 30$ for a version with way more limits...like you did
I would pre-order it right away. I've been missing this game for years!
