So glad this game is coming to Switch! I adored this game on Wii U, and I will absolutely be picking it up again. The music, visuals, and gameplay are all so charming and fun.
BitF holds a special place in my heart, so I am naturally inclined to support Matthew Taranto, but even beyond that this game is so worth the money.
I never got this for Wii U, but I sure would like to get it this time around!
NL, thank you for spreading the word (and for the good review)!
I backed the Kickstarter back in the day since I love Matthew's other work. (I own physical BitF books.) I only ended up playing the demo though. I don't remember exactly what the deal was but Europe didn't get the Wii U version so I ended up with a Steam key instead.
Finally!
Was waiting for this on the Wii U for like... ever!
Very interested, Brawl in the Family is great and I've heard this is too
Oh thank God people still know about brawl in the family
Brawl In The Family is still my favorite webcomic ever, and I absolutely adored Tadpole Treble. It's such a cute game with great music and I highly recommend it if you like rhythm games.
I remember reading Brawl in the Family long ago and was disappointed when it ended, I completely forgot Tadpole Treble existed.
Considering everything, I'm surprised with how long this game took to reach the Switch. Being a passion project mostly promoted between Nintendo gamers and all, it is a shame that it missed the gold rush window on the Switch by a year or two.
Didn't get this on Wii U but I think I'll pick it up on Switch.
Finally!! Got this game on Wii U and Steam; guess I'm triple-dipping
As someone who owns all three Brawl in the Family books, the Waluigi book Matt did later on, and had Tadpole Treble on the Wii U; it pleases me greatly that this charming game is going to reach a much wider audience now, it deserves it.
@MatthewTaranto You're very welcome!
Yaaay! This game and its creators can finally have another chance to receive the exposure it deserves!
HYPE! 😃
@MatthewTaranto
I should say this and add to the rightful praise as I always want to see you and your collaborators succeed as much as possible:
Thank you too for putting your creative works out there for over a decade! So many people love them! (The quality of your Kickstarter books have been superb, all four of them!)
I really hope this game gets additional game sales this time around, beyond being just sold on the limited audience of a Wii U eShop and hidden on the industry's most crowded store, Steam!
@Yomerodes Me too, but I think the Switch gold rush window hasn't passed really, the audience has greatly multiplied so it makes more sense to release this years later... if anything ACNH is evidence of this!
