4 years ago, Nintendo Europe sponsored a neat little Advent Calendar/platformer. Every day there was a new level, and when you completed it you got to download a little set of goodies related to a Wii or DS game. It was surprisingly well done with some neat ideas, and was
well-liked here. Unfortunately, sometime in January 2007 it was taken down and never heard from again. The same guys worked with Nintendo to do another game for Easter 2007, but it was equally short-lived (although this game, Chick Chick Boom, was recently released on Wii Ware).
Snowdriftland is back. You'll be playing catch-up since it's already December 10th, but it's worth it. It's been 4 years, so I can't remember if the levels themselves have changed. I know the world themes and music are identical and I recognize some of the general ideas being used in the level designs, but I couldn't tell you if it's the same game or not. Then again, if I can't remember, it might as well be a brand new game anyway right? Anyway, play it, enjoy it.

I was one of those who really liked that game. The music was pretty awesome.
Looks like they didn't change the plot much, and I'm not sure if the stages are new or just re-using the old ones, but it deserves a play from everyone.
Starting stage 7 with 3 hearts, it's still a fun little platformer.
It will have controller support, retouched graphics and many more improvements to the original version. Well, after 15 years you should expect it anyway, right
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post a link to the official game website, but you can find it in my signature.
If you would like to support the development of the game, a kickstarter campaign will start in September 1st, too! You can claim original drawings, plushies and other exclusive goodies.
