If you’re in Europe, a new Star Ghost update is now available for download. The patch addresses some bugs and fixes some minor visual issues – no new features are included.
It doesn’t look like Star Ghost’s update is available in North America, but developer Squarehead Studios says it should be available everywhere eventually.

[Review] Mutant Mudds Super Challenge
Posted on 9 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in 3DS eShop, Reviews, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
System: Wii U / 3DS (eShop)
Release date: March 17, 2016
Developer: Renegade Kid
Publisher Renegade Kid
Immediately upon playing the first level of Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, I was reminded about how much I loved Renegade Kid’s original 2D platformer. When it released in 2012, it was one of the first great 3DS eShop titles. Super Challenge feels largely like a continuation of the first game’s later levels. It’s telling that it hasn’t been named Mutant Mudds 2 since there isn’t too much new here, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
