News good news for fans of Tumblr Sexymen: Snufkin Melody of Moominvalley is coming to Switch

[Krvavi Abadas]

yes, one of the first Tumblr Sexymen ever created (the first book starring him released in 1946) is getting his own game.
he fits several notable archetypes of such characters. such as comitting crimes.

this is unsurprisingly not the first Moomin game to be made, however. even on Nintendo consoles there was a game based off the series released on Game Boy Color.

it's not related to gaming at all, but i also want to bring up the soundtrack to the 1983 UK dub of a stopmotion series based off the franchise. which is an utterly surreal (and frightening at times) selection of electronic tracks.


because when else am i going to bring up the Moomins again?

That thread title is throwing me for a loop, wew

That is definitely the thread title of all time.

Also I thought a release for Switch was already confirmed? Wasn't that game in a Direct this year or so? Game looks really nice though!

Can’t wait for the secret boss battle against Sans and Reigen.

I was totally willing to believe that an actual Moomin was a Tumblr Sexyman, but this makes more sense I guess.

Tumblr Sexyman is a state of mind.

 

[Phosphorescent Skeleton]

Blows my mind thar people are unaware that Snufkin is a tumblr sexyman. What blest lives ye must live.

I want them to make a Little My game where you cause problems on purpose

The Moomin characters took on strange traits when they moved from the books to animation etc.

“Millions of readers of all ages have fallen in love with the Moomin stories. For them, this game will offer a new take on the familiar characters, in situations which could have taken place in the original stories, but which are coming to life in a new, stunning setting”, said Roleff Kråkström, Managing Director of Moomin Characters. “At the same time, the game is a wonderful introduction of the characters to audiences who are not familiar with the Moomins, and who will surely find their favourites among the cast.”

once again, a big win for fans of Tumblr Sexymen
