Those of you who like to read webcomics may be familiar with Brawl in the Family. Drawn and written by Matthew Taranto, the comic series primarily featured various Nintendo characters that starred in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, later expanding beyond Smash into other Nintendo releases. Though the comic has now drawn to a close, other work from Matthew Taranto will likely soon be in the hands of Nintendo gamers.
Back when the strip was still regularly updated, Taranto mentioned the idea of making a music game, which eventually went on to become Tadpole Treble. After a successful Kickstarter campaign and a couple years of development, it seems that the game is now in the home stretch. BitFinity -- the name of Taranto's development studio -- recently posted another update to the game's Kickstarter page, explaining how the game is finished and that the final build is being submitted. Assuming it passes Nintendo's lotcheck approval, the game will launch sometime in March.
Here's a gameplay video featuring some songs created by fans in a demo version of the game:

Backed this on Kickstarter but was sad to hear that the developer couldn't promise an EU release. So I don't really know if I ever will get to play this. Could probably settle for the PC or Mac-version...
you just avoid the notes? i wonder how hard it is
Backed both BitF and Tadpole Treble kickstarters. My BitF books arrived last week but I haven't been able to read them yet because I didn't take my address change into account so they're now at my parents' house. I'll get my hands on them next week.
I thought this was forgotten except for that one bump in the forum talking about it lol
This game looks like it will be loads of fun! Music games are always exciting, especially when you get to make your own music.
I was a huge fan of BitF, so I've been looking forward to this game for a while. Hopefully that March release date is not just in America though.
Music games are the best! WE NEED MORE MUSIC GAMES DEVELOPERS!
1. Elite Beat Agents
2. Theatrythm - Final Fantasy
3. Rhythm heaven ( also The Be
I have to say, I'm a huge fan of this guy's comic. Was really bummed when it ended, but I'll be sure to try this game out!
As a huge fan of BitF I'll be getting this day one.
I remember when this game was just a fledgling Kickstarter campaign. It's awesome to see it is officially being released.
Looks great! I loved Brawl in the Family. I even bought a t-shirt from the comic. I'll be sure to check this game out sometime!
Always love playing Rhythm games, I'll definitely pick this up and I'd want to try the music creator since I love the songs used in that video. Megalovania in particular.
Got this on Kickstarter when I backed books for the comments. Looking forward to both.
I miss BitF. This game looks decent, might give it a try
I was curious as to when this would hit the eShop. Very happy he was able to get the game out.
Totally reminds me of Tadpole Pond from Super Mario RPG... or the music creator in Mario Paint.
Pretty neat idea, though.
@ggnorekthx Yes! Someone remembers this awesome mini game! Super Mario RPG was stuffed with great mini games.
