Super Mario 64-Style Platformer Ginger: Beyond The Crystal Is Coming To Switch

Never heard about this game, but apparently it's already been out for a year on Steam. Looks very cute!

Good luck to it after Odyssey...

Posted the video yesterday. Don't know what to make of it, it looks great in some areas then generic in others. It's going to find it tough to compete against SMO and other great platformers. It's been out for over a year on other platforms.

Got this on Xbox One and it's not great. Definitely one for small children as it's far too simple and quickly becomes boring.

It's been £3.73 twice on Steam. When it goes £4 on Switch I'll buy.

Bad timing.

@teamshortcut A game like Odyssey tends to leave a hunger for similar experiences, so people just might take the plunge to try a lesser known title to satiate it.

It sure looks cute, but given all the big titles being released on Switch at this time of the year, I think it's doubtful this game will be a big success.

Yeah, Odyssey is bound to have left a lot of us spoiled when it comes to the quality of 3D platformers. Nevertheless, this looks intriguing. The building mechanic seems a cool idea.

Depending on reviews and price, this could be a day one for me.

POI & now GINGER... comparing both graphically Ginger definitely better

It looks like those early 3D platformers that appeared on PlayStation when they were looking for an answer to Mario 64. I mean had Mario literally not just come out then I'd have been in the market for something like this, it's all about timing people and launching a 3D platformer close to a new Mario is a bit questionable

I can’t get enough 3D platforming. Bring it on.

Mixed reviews on other platforms. I'll wait to see how this version is received.

So, that Blue Alien was a Ginger ??

I'll wait for A Hat in Time on Switch if we ever see that in the future, the devs a few weeks ago begun testing the game on the Switch to see if they could get it over easily or not.

Props to this forum for not being salty. Gotta say though, don’t think that bizarre word combo of a title is doing this game any service.

It looks like a decent platformer. But you have to be much much more than decent to compare with Mario Odyssey. Maybe in a year or two when most of us have had our fill of Odyssey will such a similar title really generate interest.

I think that looks pretty cool. Much more appealing that Poi. That one to me looked like a rip off of FreezeMe, which I hated.

Not of a fan on how it looks.

Alundra HD or 3D remade (project octopath style) PLEAZEH

Actually pretty intriguing. If it's good it could be what Yooka Laylee wanted to be.

I like the graphics, but I can't really get into the main character's design. Perhaps the gameplay will make up for it.

I've played this and it was baaaad. Avoid this game. >_>

90 second trailer to show me 30 seconds of gameplay? Anyway, may pick this up. The complain above that it's too easy makes it right for me - I love gaming, but I'm not very good at games. Will wait for when it comes out on cartridge and probably pick it up.

@yeayeanaynay We don't HAVE to. But come on, it's gonna happen.

@yeayeanaynay
This.

This has been on my Steam wishlist for months! I'll be very glad to support a Switch release, instead.

Looks okay. But only 3 worlds, not much variety.

@Pod i don't know it's not on the eshop

Got this on PS4 a while ago. Honestly...it's not that good. The frame rate was atrocious in spots (although they may have patched that) and most of it was linear/2D stuff. For a game that is trying to be a 3D platformer...there sure isn't a whole lot of 3D to it. I'll probably pass.
