Mr.Nutz, Ocean’s 1993 2D platformer, is set to make a physical return to SNES and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, thanks to Strictly Limited Games, and joining it will be its previously unreleased on console sequel, Mr. Nutz 2: Hoppin’ Mad, which was originally released for the Amiga only in 1994, under the title , Mr. Nutz: Hoppin’ Mad (even though the original game was not released on Amiga). The console versions of Mr. Nutz 2: Hoppin’ Mad were originally scheduled for release in 1995, but were cancelled before their release, and now, over 30 years later, Mr. Nutz is finally getting his second 16-bit console outing, alongside a reissue of his first.
Due to series of company buy-outs, starting with Infogrames’ acquisition of Ocean in 1996, followed by its acquisition of Atari in 2008, Mr. Nutz is now owned by Atari.
Mr. Nutz was first released by Ocean on SNES in 1993, with a Genesis/Mega Drive port following a year later. The game has also been ported to a number of other formats, most recently the Game Boy Advance, in 2001, and now, after 25 years of hibernation, Mr. Nutz is returning to the first two formats on which he appeared, with physical reissues of his original 16-bit console outings, as well as the game’s previously unreleased on console sequel, Mr. Nutz 2: Hoppin’ Mad.
Both games will be released on both PAL and NSTC Genesis/Mega Drive and SNES. Pre-orders for the games are open now via Strictly Limited Games, with the games set to ship in Q1 2027.
Strictly Limited Games‘ previous physical releases for 16-bit consoles have included its release of Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, as we reported previously.
