Also out this week is the highly acclaimed Poncho bringing pixelated platforming puzzling goodness to the Wii U. On sale this week we see the Streetpass games and a very reasonably priced Oddworld New ‘n’ Tasty, which is a remake of the original Abe’s Oddysee.

These quickfire challenges force you to quickly survey your surroundings and then jump into action in order to progress through the 100+ floors and net as much cash as possible along the way. Collateral Thinking takes the single-screen management of yesterday’s classics and then cranks up the speed and the absurdity by 100 for unpredictable, impulsive action! With over 100 levels, three playable characters, and a ton of toe-tapping tunes, Collateral Thinking is more than ready to satisfy your arcade addiction! | ||||||
