Rolly Roguelike TumbleSeed Confirmed For Nintendo Switch

I am VERY intrigued in this. Between the roguelike elements, visual style, and music, I'm definitely getting this at some point!

GOTY

Sounds good

After seeing this I might buy 100 million switches it's that good

I LOVED the music but what the frick did I just watch???

The Switch is looking like indie heaven

This actually looks really cool. I might have to keep this one on my radar.

I'm seeing alot of developers use the HD Rumble, which is good.

DQ Heroes is, Fast Racing RMX is (said you'll be able to tell exactly where you're hitting a rail or wall, how hard you're hitting it and it will dynamically change as the angle and friction changes), obviously 1-2 Switch, and now this...

Pass! Good luck to them but, ya, pass! And I very much doubt it'll be the "flagship" title of HD Rumble. What, feeling a seed roll about in the Joy-con? Amazing!

I'm sure the majority of people are delighted that we're getting small indie games like this instead of big titles like Resident Evil 7.

Sorry but this is only good as an iPhone/android game.

This got me intrigued. Could be interesting. Threes! and Ridiculous Fishing are some nice gems, so this guys have proved to have good taste on the titles they choose to publish.

I can't say I even understand what I watched. And not sure the game has grabbed my attention but I'm happy someone is interested in making use of hd rumble

This looks really interesting. I just hope it doesn't end up like Chasing Aurora. I loved the art style of the game and they made it look so interesting! But I bought it and was quickly bored (which is not easily done for me). The levels were extremely short and the controls were just a bit too difficult. I thought it would be a fun party game, but even myself and my gamer friends had trouble with the controls.

Keep those indie games rolling in. This looks good. My wife really got into the Donkey Kong game in Nintendo Land (and she was good at it) so she might enjoy this one. Has a similar vibe.

@JaxonH did not see that about Fast RMX. Very nice. Honestly, if Fast Racing RMX had a box I would have just pre-ordered it on Amazon.

This is a really good sign for HD rumble. It's one of those features that I wasn't quite sure how likely it would be to see it utilized by many developers early on. Glad to see it's doable.

Not sure what I just watched but the more games the switch gets the better.

Looks like a iOS game. Switch will have a lot of cheap indie games. Yeay

You know, this guy comes from the mobile scene and he is very creative. Gasketball and Threes! are very solid. Threes! is like the premium (and original) version of 2048 for those that are familiar. Unlike 2048 it has character and charm along with the addictive mechanic.

When I see people unable to process a game like this from the trailer I'm guessing they haven't been exposed to the hundreds of clever game ideas that have appeared on smartphones for years now.

In my own limited experiences with developing for smartphones I'm feeling this pull towards Steam and console shops and, yes, I'd love to do a game for Switch.

Whats promising about this is that incredibly creative and talented indie developers have been trying to thrive in the mobile market making unique and fun games but have been suppressed by very casual gamers and the need to find a way to make money in a market where everyone thinks games should be free.

There could be a wave of great middle market games coming from these people, especially on a platform like Switch.

I hope many can succeed there and we get these inspired types of games targeted at players who want the depth and don't mind paying upfront. One hopes.

For me, the Switch hype is snowballing. Pretty much every time I read about a new game announcement or details about Ninty's future plans, it's exciting.
TumbleSeed looks like some great fun.

I'll pass on this. Looks interesting, but not my style of game. I do like how the Switch seems to be attracting a lot of good indie projects though.

looks at the picture
"Looks boring"

Watches the video
"... I'm getting this day one"

It looks like Loco Roco Cocoreccho. But w/ only 1 Loco.

@UK-Nintendo I've seen garbage games. This one looks pretty cool. Yeah, it's simple, but it won't cost you €60. It looked interesting when it was announced for PS4, so I'll definitely be getting this. Not sure if I'll get the Switch version, depends on when it comes out.

As much as a pessimist I am, I have to admit, the indie games on the Switch are starting to look good so far. Indie games is one of the reasons why I love my PS4, and the Wii U skipped so many of them unfortunately. Here's hoping that the Switch will do better in that aspect.

Hm...very unique gameplay but still not convinced me to buy.

@Octane I really hope so too

@rjejr that was a great game. I think I had it on the psp at the time.

Man. Killjoys in the comments. Just because it is 2D doesnt mean it is to be classified as an iPhone game, and indies are just as important, if not even moreso, than AAAs

@aaronsullivan Indie devs should crush it on Switch, every game can play the same way it does on tablet - touchscreen - or as a portable w/ controls, or on TV. Much less competition on eShop than iTunes and people are sued to paying a few $. If you're a good enough dev to roll 2 control schemes into 1 you should do ok. I would think most games on tablets can scale a bit at this point, tablets and phones, and really games don't NEED to upres to 1080p on a TV, 720p would look the same for most indie games like this.

@UK-Nintendo I got it w/ PS+ on PS3, never heard of it before I got it, happiest music ever, and fun too. Makes this look kind of boring to me, too specific, no wiggle room for error. Not my thing.

Too much Kool-aid drinking in here!

I don't really get exactly what the gameplay is from the trailer, other than trying to roll from side to side to avoid stuff, but the visuals look pretty nice.

@rjejr I hope you enjoy it. Back when this came out I thought the idea and gameplay was amazing plus it was portable

@RyanSilberman It is super edgy to be anti-Switch, so everyone is doing it. It's super amazing fun power Indie when it comes out on other platforms, it's an iPhone game when it's on Switch, just ignore them.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Why do you say "we" when you've made it clear you're not getting a Switch any time soon?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kuru kuru Kururin yet, GBA launch title from Konami. Looks like instead of a stick, you're guiding some sort of creature on a stick. Maybe it utilises motion control.

@PanurgeJr I'm still a Nintendo fan and I will be getting it eventually but I curse them for limiting what software is possible by limiting their hardware.

Looks fun. Nice to see third parties are excited by the HD rumble.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Don't bother with the curse. It won't work--I lit a Candle of Protection.

I just logged in to say. meh. Avoidance type game.

Sorry, at best it's a Roguelikelikelike:
http://bp.io/howroguelike/
Seriously, procedural generation, minimal story and permadeath doesn't make a roguelike. Otherwise all those endless runners would also be roguelikes.

Edit: Well it doesn't have permadeath either, I see there are three little life hearts on the right hand side of the horizontal bar.

Very intrigued by this game and how HD rumble will add to the experience. The music sounds interesting too. I'm envisaging playing this with headphones after some recreational stimulation - ooh, mother!!

Its cool to see more games announced for the Switch, but it would be nice to see more than 2D indie titles.

This looks pretty cool, I think I might get it for the Switch when it releases. ^_^

What the hell is a "rolly roguelike"? I'm getting too old for this sh..

"indies are just as important, if not even moreso, than AAAs"

@RyanSilberman Really? How'd that work out for Wii U?

wow its only about indie games with switch ... no AAA games announced yet ? its seems like wii U all again

i dont care about such games like this ... i need AAA games not this

pass

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Pretty good for the developers considering the hardware. And now we will have hardware that is easier to develop on and is being much more aggressively pushed than Nintendo's previous affairs. It only goes up from here.

My opinion of rogue-likes is mixed, but it's unique and different, and the more variety the better.

The art style is nice and reminds me of Guacamelee, albeit a little hard to tell what is happening, at first. The music absolutely rocks and I love that.

This game really should be motion/gyro-scope controlled (or at least have that option), I don't know see it mentioned in the article, but from what I see of the gameplay that makes the most sense and would be the most interesting to have that as the default control scheme

I want games that take advantage of the hd rumble

Well, I like the developer. I'm a big fan of Ridiculous Fishing and especially Threes. I'll keep an eye on this one but I'm not sold yet.

Great looking game and I will be getting it if the price is decent.
Nintendo might not get the AAA uncharted call of duty assassins gta, games. But I am more then ok with that. Games like these are great to fill in the gaps between nintendos big games, and I have a PS4 that occasionally gets turned on

@aaronsullivan

"When I see people unable to process a game like this from the trailer I'm guessing they haven't been exposed to the hundreds of clever game ideas that have appeared on smartphones for years now."

Too bad the difference is, if I wanted to play 100 cheap thrill mobile games I'd play them on my mobile phone. You know, the one I already have right now? The ones that are free or cost, like, $5?

I'm buying a Switch because - and I know this may sound crazy to the Kool-Aid drinkers - it's probably supposed to offer lots of awesome games that are far more evolved than those...?

I dig the music. The gameplay reminds me of Kirby tilt and tumble on GBC. Idk, I might get it depending on price!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE If you didn't understand how indie games worked for Wii U you must live in a parallel dimension.

Go on, Tecmo Koei. Show them how HD Rumble is done and port Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 to Switch.

This looks pretty cool, and made by the guys from ridiculous fishing (a game where you catch the fish and them shoot them when you pull them out the water)? Think i'm gonna have to try it out

@impurekind No, I think you get exactly what the gameplay is. You've just said it.

@Cosats I know exactly how it worked out. Some of them were great but indies are not more important than AAA third party games. Speaking of parallels, I see a lot of similarities between Wii U and Switch.

@gcunit Well, I hope there's a bit more to it than just that.

Looks interesting, but sadly roguelike.

Looks interesting. If the games reviews well, the price is right, and it indeed shows off the full potential of the HD rumble, I'll probably pick it up, since I don't plan on picking up 1, 2, Switch.

@Henmii
This game isn't really a roguelike

Are you sure?

@Rotgut Feel better now? Let me know when you read the rest of my post.

@Henmii
Positive, otherwise all those endless runners could be considered Roguelikes as well.
This link measures how much of a roguelike a game is (in this case, not very):
