The Nintendo Switch already has loads of amazing Metroidvania games, but we could always use one more, couldn't we? It's been revealed today that MindSeize will be headed to the Switch later this year.
Developed by self-declared hermit crabs of Kamina Dimension, MindSeize is an atmospheric new Action-Adventure with a Sci-Fi space-travel setting, drawing strong inspiration from titles like Metroid Fusion and Mega Man X.
Here is some more info about the game from the devs:
Key Features:
- Classic 2D-action with a modern twist - Smooth and fast-paced action with beautiful hand-drawn 16-bit pixel graphics, mixed with atmospheric music and hard hitting sound effects.
- Explore mysterious planets - Travel to 4 different and unique planets, unravel their secrets and fight the dangers within. Remember to take a break on your ship once in a while, and interact with your crew.
- Upgrade your MAG - Buy and find different mods, weapons and abilities that bring versatility to your MAG's combat capability.
- Delve in to the world of MindSeize - Follow the story written by a professional script writer with comic book style cutscenes, read the log about planets and their fauna, experience the heart-rending twists.
Following a gruelling three-year development cycle, MindSeize is now out of early-access on Steam and Kamina Dimension will now be turning their attention to creating the ultimate Switch port, which is planned to be released on the eShop in September this year. A physical release for Nintendo Switch is also on the cards, which collectors will no doubt be delighted to hear.
Let us know what you think of the trailer above. Are you looking forward to adding MindSeize to your Metroidvania collection later this year?

The physical release of the game will be handled by First Press Games, I dare say it'll be one to look forward to.

Finally a metroidvania game on the switch! It has been years!
This one is looking pretty good though, it’s on my radar from now on
There are so many metroidvanias on Switch, but I have to say that it does look promising.
Switch = A Metroidvania haven without actual new Metroid or Castlevania games. Looking forward to this actually.
@retro_player_77 yeah is quite ironic isn’t it!?
Lucky we have these to keep us going in the mean time I guess...
It scares me when games say they are inspired by Metroid Fusion. Does that mean the story or the linearity? I personally think Fusion hasn't aged too well but I hope this game is not linear
Seen all the videos of game play on Twitter, and have been waiting for the physical from my backing on Kickstarter for a while, it looks great
Looks pretty promising. Some folks are tired of all the Metroidvanias but I can never get enough. Pretty much my favorite game type outside of turn based RPGs.
Actually looks decent, will check out a review before purchase still., but I'm definitely interested.
I don't really care for Metrovania's much, but this game looks really cool. I'm definitely interested. I hope it won't get repetitive though.
So KS gets screwed over again?
@retro_player_77 You made the quote of the day!
New games do take time to develop, but it it should be relatively easy to put GBA support on NSO including Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. The Wii U had GBA VC support and the Switch in handheld mode is already like a giant GBA.
Doesn’t look very cripple to me. Kinda reminds me of a short lived TV show called MANTIS.
This looks intriguing. I will add it to my wish list.
You're on the list!
For a game with such nice pixel art, every other graphic element in this trailer was pretty cringe-inducing.
Another good looking metroidvania.
