Day one. Mutant Mudds was the secret best indie game on the 3DS (apart from Gunman Clive, that is).

Love renegade kid! I can't wait to check this out. Mutant Mudds is one of my favourites from the eShop

Sounds great, can't wait to see how it turns out.
Nice, they confirmed a PC version ?

They just resubmitted to Nintendo, should be a June release.

It's overrated. Super Little Acorns is a better platformer IMO.
How is there zero word on what basic genre this is, though?
From all the little bits and pieces it sounds like a 2D sidescrolling action adventure game with RPG and Metroid-like backtracking elements.
Nope.

It didn't do anything substantially new, but I rather thought that was the point of it. Felt like a GBC platformer down to a T.

Sounds cool. I love pixel art, but Mutant Mudds always looked kinda bland to me. Hopefully this has a bit more pizazz.

What does this even mean? I've never even heard of '12-bit'.
They all are.
If you have a 3DS you can download Mutant Mudds' demo. All I can say is Mutant Mudds is a solid platformer. Not groundbreaking or jaw droppingly awesome, but a solid you-get-what-you-expected title. Plus cool music.
It's how the devs described the look of Mutant Mudds. A better description would be "pseudo-retro pixel art that makes no attempt to look authentic".
It's really cool high precision and pattern-based platforming. In the vein of very early Mega Man but a little slower and without the high energy soundtrack.
It's neither the best thing ever or mediocre/overrated. It is really cool, is all. And the 3D effect with the three layers is really really awesome.
Can't you extrapolate from that, though? You know what 8-bit looks like, you know what 16 bit looks like. Then you look at pics from Mutant Mudds and see that it's somewhere in between. There you go!

Except that's not how it works.
I'd say that's an apt description of '8-bit', '12-bit' or even '16-bit'.

Yay, Renegade Kid.
Now make another racing game.

Perfect!
Of course it's not a technical explanation. It is entirely accurate though.

What do 12bit graphics look like? Game Gear?

WHOA now. Let's not say things we can't take back. Mutant Mudds' soundtrack was its best asset.

I loved Mutant Mudds so much so this is an instant day one purchase for me. I can't wait!
Mutant Mudds has an absolutely superb soundtrack. Seriously, I loved it so much I would listen to it in my car on occasion (which I rarely do with 8-bit soundtracks).

Sounds great, I just hope it isn't as crazy hard as Mutant Mudds was. I don't think I got through half that game.

Agreed. I still liked Mudds more than (the equally overrated) MSF though.
Indie crown on 3DS would go to Clive or VVVVVV imo.
I found it so very underwhelming, and I usually enjoy chiptunes.
Can't say I agree with this. Mutant Mudds and MSF destroy the crap out of VVVVVV and Gunman Clive in terms of controls and level design.

To each his own, I suppose. Just talking about the soundtrack has me humming a song from it now, and it's been months since I've touched the game. The way all the layers and segments of the songs came together was simply masterful, in my opinion.

I'd say VVVVVV's world design pretty easily bests both, for complexity, challenge and physics. Controls are pitch perfect too, and easily as (or more) responsive as either.
I think Clive is a more simplified experience, but also a better total package. It's not a glorified score runner like MSF, it's not a platformer that demands perfect runs like Mudds, it's just fun.

Looks great
This and shovel knight are becoming two of my most anticipated games
And that Zelda like game for the gunman Clive dev. Can't wait to see something on that.

Looks incredible! The last screenshot gives me a bit of a Spelunky vibe.
Yeah man, I was just thinking the exact same thing.
