Mission In Snowdriftland

After being buried in 12 inches of snow last week in a hotel that refused to pay someone to plow, hopping in snowdrifts isn’t high on my list of priorities right now.

None the less, Nintendo has pushed a fun flash based platformer on to the web to help push their holiday game line up. In Mission In Snowdriftland you play this little snowman who has to run and jump and… well if you ever played a Nintendo side scroller, this won’t be hard. At the end of the first level I was rewarded with a Yoshi’s Island DS Ringtone, so I think it was worth my time playing.

Mission In Snowdriftland is basically a clever web distraction that puts a banner up for a Nintendo game and then rewards you with extras like wallpapers, MP3s, and computer icons. Its not bad really, though keyboarding platformers may be hard for those of us who don’t make a habit of emulating ROMs regularly.
