Mutant Mudds was one of the true gems of the 3DS eShop era, and has since had follow-ups and releases on Wii U and a host of consoles. Mutant Mudds Collection on the Switch eShop will combine Mutant Mudds Deluxe, Mutant Mudds Super Challenge and the all-new Mudd Blocks in one package, and it seems to be getting close to release.
Atooi's Jools Watsham has confirmed that the game has been submitted to Nintendo for approval.
In addition he previously confirmed that puzzle game Mudd Blocks would support the TATE layout, basically meaning the Switch screen in its vertical dimensions. Before now this has featured in Namco Museum and a small number of ACA titles, so it's a nice addition to have.
Are you planning to pick this up on the Switch?

First day purchase for me
Same here. Day 1 buy.
I bet it won't support it with a Joy-Con attached though, just like Namco Museum.
The Switch is perfectly usable in Tate mode with a Joy-Con attached, and tabletop mode doesn't really appeal to me.
Good luck to them. I respect them for packing the games together and not being greedy, unlike other developers. On a side note, I now know what "tate mode" means after Googling it. It's a Japanese word, "tate" means "vertical" and "yoko" if you ever see it in future means "horizontal". Is that what John Lennon found attractive in Yoko Ono?
Have to wait to see the price on this pack before I commit to a quadruple dip. Great games, though. If you haven't played 'em yet, you should...
I don't think any of the ACA titles have TATE mode do they? Just Strikers 1945 and Gunbarich as well as Namco Museum I'm aware of. Once Zerodiv finally get around to releasing their next batch of titles and Zen with Pinball FX, my vertical stand will never be away.
I played the first on the 3DS when it released but didn't get around to the others. I will have to check the collection out after I finish some other games. Skyrim and Xenoblade are both about to swallow my life.
I can’t be the only one that didn’t care for Mutant Mudds, right?
Tate Mode....done right!
It also has video recording, for those who didn't know.
I'll be picking up the physical release, for sure.
it's tempting, but since I have the 3DS and Wii U version I will probably wait for a sale before picking it up
I love me some TATE.
@Gavintendo I feel like it isn't quite safe to hold the Switch vertically by only the bottom Joy Con. It would seem to put a lot of pressure on where it attachs to the unit itself
@Gavintendo I definitely wouldn't recommend playing like that. The Joy-con start to loosen slightly over time just from taking them on and off so I would think playing with one attached is just asking for trouble.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It does seem like everyone is referring to 'tate' mode as if this is common knowledge and common terminology. For arcade monitors (until recently) I have only heard vertical orientation and horizontal orientation.
@yeayeanaynay Really???
@NaviAndMii Yeah i run Ikaruga on my 360 on a 42" in TATE
@drich255 @drich255 Its the terminology from Japanese arcades and those that follow import gaming scene. 'tah-tey'

Man I would love to run all of my vertical scrolling shmups in Tate mode. When I move I'm going to invest in a scrolling mount so I can swivel my television easily.
Day 1 purchase
That's a nice stand Mr. Watsham is showing there in his photo. Based on reviews, I think I will pick up a HORI Compact Playstand.
Love vertical Switch!
@MonkiPlays the prpghrammer confirmed a couple of days ago it is getting a physical.
