Emily Rogers’ hint that Mother 3 would finally see a Western release this year caused quite a stir yesterday. Several news outlets naturally reported on the issue. Eurogamer did the same, however it seems like they, too, have some insider information, Tom Phillips, who wrote the article, claims to also have knowledge of a Mother 3 localization via separate sources. The game is supposedly being released via Wii U Virtual Console to celebrate Mother 3’s 10th anniversary in Japan.

As always with rumors like these, take them with a grain of salt.

Through a hub page on Nintendo’s North American website, we found out yesterday that Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is set for launch on the Wii U eShop next Thursday. Oddworld Inhabitants has since officially confirmed the news, and also says that the European release is happening on the same day.

At this time, there’s no word on pricing for PAL regions. There should be a 25 percent discount just like in North America, however.

Update: $15 might be temporary, based on this tweet:

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is finally launching on Wii U next week. According to a listing found on Nintendo’s website, you’ll be able to pick up the game through the North American eShop on February 11. Pricing is set at $14.99.

“Explore ancient ruins, dodge carnivorous beasts and avoid trigger-happy hunting parties as Abe, the original Oddworld hero in this lovingly recrafted take on the classic Abe’s Oddysee.

Once a happy floor waxer in Oddworld’s biggest meat processing plant, Abe stumbles across his boss’s secret plan to turn the factory’s slave labour force into the latest in the RuptureFarms Tasty Treats line of novelty meat snacks. Abe now has to save his own skin from the grinders even if simply escaping the flesh farm is only the start of his Oddysee.

Many dangers await Abe on his journey to discover his people’s heritage. Built from the ground up, enjoy breathtaking visuals, enhanced audio and improved, deeper gameplay as New ‘n’ Tasty reignites the original Oddworld game.”

We’ve attached some screenshots of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty to the gallery below.
