The Japanese release of this European-born squirrel platformer, an unusual case since the series originated on PAL soil. The Super Famicom version, with its polished cartoon animation, remains a niche import for anyone gathering the localisations of a title that stayed low-profile in Japan. The Japanese card box and spine card are the draw; the loose cartridge circulates freely, so interest crystallises on a clean complete copy and on the novelty of an SFC outing for this character.
Is Mr. Nutz still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer starring a plucky squirrel who clobbers enemies with his tail across colourful, varied stages. The tidy presentation and decent handling make it an honest platform game, but without the spark that sets the console's greats apart. Today it is played for its good-natured charm and reassuring feel rather than striking originality. A pleasant, accessible platformer, perfect in measured doses for the nostalgic.
