Looks like a GBA game. Colour me unimpressed.

 

[Doc Holliday]

all 2d games are going to look like GBA game.

Not true!

Trailer says it's designed to work on GBA and DS. So it most likely is a GBA title. Also no use of dual or touchscreen seen anywhere.

 

[Rocket Punch]

Not true!

It's true. GBA is a very good 2D machine for a portable system . There is room for improvement but I'll venture it isn't much.

So then, really, it's a GBA game

 

[belgurdo]

Man, they're not even trying. Looks like something homebrewed :\

Hmm 'Looks like a GBA game' or 'that 3D looks horrible, stick to 2D'? I will take the latter 100% of the time.

From the guys who brought us Toki Tori on the GBC

 

[JackFrost2012]

Hooray, noone's made a Frankie Goes to Hollywood joke yet!

 

[Salmon]

I dunno why, but this title makes me think of Young Merlin for the SNES

Or even with the character design...

i thought ds was supposed to be for an older audience

outside of hunters, i have yet to see any evidence of this. its the same kiddie stuff gba has

well, it is GBA game. It can be played on DS, just like all GBA games. Got to love misleading titles.

That's NOA marketing's take on the situation. I have a feeling NCL has no idea that the DS is "supposed" to be for an older audience, particularly since they're so exciting about linking it to new Pokemon movies. The hand is acting without the brain's instructions, and the whole body will look bad as a result

 

[Matlock]

Shit, you read my mind.

 

[Mrbob]

This game will help lure in the 18-22 male crowd Nintendo is aiming for with the DS.

Yes, the DS is nothing but teh kiddi e:

Yeah, not a spectacular launch line-up, but let's give credit where it's due. The "kid fare" is squarely in the minority with the DS launch.

Jeez let go of it people, it's a GBA game!

 

[Lyte Edge]

SELL YOUR DS IT'S ALL OVER ETC ETC

sprung and feel the magic are the only "T" rated games you posted

 

[Mejilan]

Uhhh... there's nothing inherently kiddy about sports and racing games either. Or Sims titles.

 

[djtiesto]

Graphics totally remind me of Golden Sun for some reason... what kind of game is it? Puzzle...?

I was thinking this myself actually, everything about it has some kind of GS feel to it. It looks like a RPG to me as well, but I'm not sure.

Three Tribes is a Game Boy Advance adventure game within an overworld like Mario & Luigi or The Minish Cap. Gameplay solely relies on (notably difficult) puzzles and some minor platforming, there's no combat. Most puzzles involve the character-swap system, which gives it a Lost Vikings-vibe.

I'm not allowed to give away much about this game because of a NDA I signed, but I really think this could become a great product. Two Tribes obviously know their puzzling, as their previous game 'Toki Tori' proves.
