Microsoft has announced two of the first games planned for release under its new self-publishing ID@Xbox program. Microsoft Studios boss Phil Harrison revealed on Twitter that a new, unnamed Worms title would be coming to the console along with a version of Nutjitsu, which is already available for Windows Phone.
Though we don't know much about the Worms game, which is presumably being created by franchise veterans Team 17, Nutjitsu is on the way from Ninjabee, the creator of the Kefling titles on Xbox Live Arcade. The top-down maze game is reminiscent of Pac-Man, though you're in control of a squirrel ninja and tasked with retrieving acorns from evil foxes.

Not the most exciting of reveal by any means, but its nice to see the program chugging along. Given the late reveal of the ID program I'm sure much better games will be along soon enough and are only being delayed due to a late start on the console. I've never been a Worms fan and have no knowledge of Nutjitsu, so other than my lack excitement I really have nothing to say about either game. How do you guys feel about the announcement? Have you played Nutjitsu previously on Windows Phone? Let us know in the comments!
