     Steam Next Fest demo: Tinykin is the new Pikmin Nintendo's not making

Tinykin looked adorable and endearing when we first took notice of it last year, and now we don't just have to look - we can play, too. The Steam Next Fest is live with far more demos than anyone could ever possibly play, so I'm digging into what catches my interest and reporting back to you when a game seems worthwhile.

And, friends, Tinykin definitely seems worthwhile. You arrive on planet Earth way too small, and you've got to make use of itty-bitty creatures called Tinykin to make your way through the world. Tinykin come in different varieties with their own powers, and the way they follow you around will make the Pikmin comparisons immediately obvious.

But where Pikmin is a time management and survival game, Tinykin's demo reveals that it is, in fact, a 3D platformer. It's a lovely one, too, with snappy controls and giant, open-ended levels filled with secrets to uncover. It's also combat-free - at least in the early parts of the demo - so if you're looking for a chill time, Tinykin provides.

SSBU Min Min amiibo Out in April, Minecraft Ones Delayed

Nintendo offered some updates on release dates for the first Fighters Pass Vol. 2 SSBU amiibo. We already knew ARMS' Min Min would be the first one. She started as a 2022 release. Now the Min Min amiibo has an April 29, 2022 release date. However, the company also noted the Minecraft Alex and Steve amiibo will be delayed. There is no exact window beyond "later in 2022."

First, here's the latest Min Min reveal. The video shows her from every angle.

As for Alex and Steve, the SSBU amiibo for them won't appear in Spring 2022. Nintendo cited a "logistics and production delay" as the reason for them being pushed back.

Here's a closer look at the two of them.

The Fighters Pass Vol. 2 added Min Min, Steve (and Alex), Sephiroth. Pyra and Mythra, Kazuya, and Sora to the game. However, amiibo haven't been confirmed for all of them. Back in October 2021, Nintendo noted that Sephiroth, Pyra, and Mythra would all be added to the collection.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available on the Nintendo Switch. The Min Min amiibo will appear on April 29, 2022.
