A Tiny Tale will also be fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, giving early adopters of the new console one more exciting new game to try out.
Misc. A Tiny Tale was originally revealed to the world way back in 2020, and has been in development at Tinyware Games since. Previously, the 3D platformer was announced to be arriving on Nintendo Switch sometime in 2025, and now the developer is making good on that promise.
Switch 2 Stock is Starting to Arrive at Retailers
The Nintendo Switch 2 is now days from release, and some retailers are already getting their shipments of the console for the big launch.
Misc. A Tiny Tale has released a new trailer demonstrating the 3D adventure platformer game, including gameplay and a set release date for July 22. Misc. A Tiny Tale tells the story of two miniature robots who are suddenly overwhelmed by a giant explosion in the sky that causes golden cogs and garbage to rain down on them and the surrounding area. The two playable robots, Buddy and Bag Boy, must work side-by-side to clear away the junk, solve puzzles, and gather the golden cogs, among other treasures. Part of the work the two will find is the need to save robot villages that are full of quirky, unique robot characters with their own stories to uncover. While the game lacks "enemies" in the traditional sense, the main villain is a 1950s-esque tin robot that wants to revitalize the world but doesn't understand that they'll be doing more damage than good with their actions.
Misc. A Tiny Tale Changes the Scale
As the name implies, the robots in Misc. A Tiny Tale are absolutely diminutive, with the two standing at a mere 3 cm tall. The game is described as being fueled by Chibi-Robo! Nostalgia, with some reminiscent character designs and a world to explore that towers over the players, all with a touch of GameCube-era influence. Those who have enjoyed games like award winner It Takes Two or Grounded may enjoy Misc. A Tiny Tale for its similar themes that drop players into a familiar but foreign world due to the characters' tiny size and surrounding circumstances.
While Misc. A Tiny Tale is set in a world with no humans, its characters are far from devoid of humanity. In The Best War Games's prior talks with Misc. A Tiny Tale's developer, it became apparent that Misc. A Tiny Tale will be a story about helping others, celebrating differences and diversity, and finding acceptance. Players will soon get their chance to explore the story of these robots for themselves.
