Atooi Collection (3DS)

Five games, one cartridge, and a ticking clock on the hardware that plays them. Atooi Collection for the Nintendo 3DS brings together Mutant Mudds, Bomb Monkey, Xeodrifter, Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, and Chicken Wiggle on a single physical cartridge, limited to 4,000 copies worldwide. Fair warning: this one is NOT region-free and only works on North American 3DS units.

That limitation matters because the 3DS is a closed ecosystem now. No more eShop, no more digital purchases. If these games aren't on a cart, they're gone for anyone who missed the download window.

Jools Watsham and the Atooi team built some of the most charming indie experiences on Nintendo's dual-screen handheld, and Mutant Mudds alone is worth the price of admission. Having all five collected together is the kind of convenience that only gets more valuable as the 3DS fades further into history. The 4,000-copy limit and region lock make this a targeted release for a specific audience, and that audience knows exactly who they are.

If you're still building your 3DS shelf, this compilation fills five slots at once.
