Goals not met yet: - N64 shader (which is a Tonic) - Developer walkthrough - Orchestral score - DLC (free for backers) (Am I forgetting something?) There's one more thing: "Goin' old-skool! N64 shader mode plus a credits "GK Rap + Video" written by Grant Kirkhope" The video is a...

From Limited Run Games' newsletter: Please be aware that a representative from Best Buy has approached us with interest in Yooka-Laylee. We want everyone to know now that there is a possibility of this release appearing in stores at Best Buy. Best Buy would put their order in during the same open pr...

Phew! I did it as well! :D I pre-logged into Paypal and created a Limited Run account with pre-set delivery address to save some time. I even "trained" placing an order as quickly as possible by pretending to buy "Dust". :D Congrats to everyone who made it! Glad the discount code...

Wow, this looks awesome! But limited to 3000 copies and early access for 64-bit backers...? Oh well, this makes me nervous! I really really want that edition but at this rate I'm wondering if waiting for the countdown to end and clicking the "buy" button asap is even enough to get one. I'm...

I actually was waiting for this to happen (and it was the main reason I was watching Limited Run Games' E3 presentation yesterday). As a day 1 Kickstarter backer I own the physical PC version (which I beat in April 2017) and also received a digital download code for the Switch version. But I gave it...

Alright, the8thark beat me to it.... Just delete this!

"Limited Run Games", a company that releases digital-only indie games in physical format, will release Yooka-Laylee for Nintendo Switch in August! So if you are still hoping for a phsyical Switch release, now is your chance! ;) https://gematsu.com/2018/06/yooka-laylee-switch-limited-run-ph...

But speaking of stretch goals, I saw someone in the comments section on the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter page say that Grant Kirkhope apparently confirmed there was no longer going to be an orchestral soundtrack (which I'm not surprised about, as recording that would be so expensive, and I reckon they ...

No, I haven't played it at all because I'm waiting for the Switch version. But I think it'd be hilarious if Yooka gets pants if you collect all the tonics :lol:. It's not all "tonics" that you need to collect, but... ah, just wait and see! ;) Think about Gobi's Valley and/or Treasure Trov...

how would you guys feel about discovering Rare is making a new Banjo game? Excited? Skeptical? Irritated? How about a full HD remake of Banjo Kazooie? I'd wait and see. Retro Studios have taught us that it doesn't always take the original developers to create a great new entry to an established ser...

I just added Glitterglaze Glacier + variants + Frosty Fray to my 2017 christmas mix. I'm loving all of them!

I agree. While your review was well-written, I think it lacked pointing out what you enjoyed about the game. Even if a game is complete garbage (which you say Y-L isn't) a good reviewer should always try to look for positive aspects - just like he should look for negative aspects of something he thi...

Is this the analysis you tried to link? https://mattyjohn.wordpress.com/2017/04/23/yooka-laylee-the-bear-er-chameleon-bat-are-back-i-guess/ I agree about that review fatigue by the way... I'm really glad I didn't read a single preview/review before beating the game myself - and I sometimes wish I wo...

Yes it is and no I didn't know! Damn! Thanks for pointing it out, I hope I will remember this on my next playthrough.

It's amazing how many things they fixed/improved and how close they paid attention to the complaints people had. I personally won't replay the game before the remaining stretch goals have been met (64 bit shader mode, orchestrated soundtrack, developer walkthrough, free DLC, YL rap inside the game) ...

5) Also, CHARACTER PARADE . WHY was this not in the game. Yesterday I finally beat Capital B and finished the game 100%. In the ending scene all (or at least most?) characters you met in the game joined Yooka and Laylee celebrating in Shipwreck Creek. Was this added by an update? Or did you mean so...

You aren't.

Yeah, since I fell in love with Playtonic's witty humour during the last 2 years I also decided to play Yooka-Laylee in English. I might try the German localisation on my second playthrough, though.

@Piet @FailureFactory
There was a token on the flag pole. It was the last one I was missing.

Heh, funny. My main complaint with Kartos is that it's no challenge to reach the end of the track, but you have that secondary task thrown at you instead. I really hoped Kartos would be exactly like those old DKC mine levels, and was disappointed with him being just another mini game about collecti...

I didn't enjoy them. I wouldn't want them to be cut from following games, though, since I actually like both characters. So here's why I didn't like them and what I would like to change for the sequel: Kartos: I agree to EekumBokum202... While the Kartos challenges certainly had flaws, most of the t...
