If your gaming heart still beats for the golden age of GameCube platformers and you’ve got a soft spot for tiny heroes with big emotions, Misc. A Tiny Tale needs to be on your radar. Launching July 22, 2025, this heartfelt 3D adventure from Australian indie studio Tinyware Games is heading to PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and will be fully backwards compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.
Crafted as a love letter to games like Chibi-Robo! and Super Mario Sunshine, Misc. A Tiny Tale combines nostalgic platforming, light-hearted quests, and meaningful storytelling — all starring a pair of lovable robots navigating a beautifully quirky post-human world.
What Is Misc. A Tiny Tale?
You play as Buddy and his loyal sidekick Bagboy, two tiny robots with a whole lot of heart. Set in a whimsical world where playgrounds, backyards, and forgotten towns become epic landscapes, your journey revolves around kindness, connection, and helping others.
From dancing instruments to UFOs and secret robot romances, Misc. A Tiny Tale is bursting with charm. But it’s more than cute aesthetics — beneath its delightful surface lies an emotionally rich narrative about community, identity, and what it means to make a difference.
“With the world being the way it is now, perhaps joining two robots on a heartwarming adventure full of new friends and kind acts is what we all need…”
