Putty Squad is set for release on Vita, 3DS, PC, PS3 and 360, with the potential for a Wii U version and possible, modified version on iOS and Android to follow. It’s a classic title from the mid-90s which released on SNES and reviewed excellently on the. Nothing is currently confirmed, but Cale hopes to be able to announce something later this year. Putty Squad, which I’ve talked about before, is a fairly straight forward sounding proposition. Finally, for those who are still in possession of what must by now be distinctly yellow-tinged Amiga hardware, Cale is hinting that System 3 is hoping to give them a reason to dust-off their keyboards and party like it’s 1994 by way of a pre-order incentive.

Having played it on both Vita and 3DS it’s apparent that it’s a natural fit for a handheld and, of the two, the Vita’s higher resolution screen and more vibrant display helps it to shine by comparison the 3DS version looks washed-out and far less sharp. This game was only ever released commercially on the Super Nintendo, however, a demo version (which is now extremely rare) was released for the Amiga.
