Playtonic Forums

So, like many people. I backed the Kickstarter and was originally going to get the Wii U version. I didn't really care that the Wii U version got canceled in favor for a Switch version because I was (and got) a Switch. However, I am really annoyed that Switch users have to wait longer. I totally get...

I understand why people are angry about the fact that there is no Wii U version anymore, it being cancelled months before launch is a kick in the face. For me personally I'm getting the Switch day 1 so I am really happy about the Switch version because I rather play it om Nintendo Switch then the Wi...

I think a Switch version would make so much sense, first it comes out in March 2017 so it could just be a launch title for the console, alone imagine having Breath of the Wild and Yooka Laylee at launch, that will be so nostalgic for a Nintendo fan. Supports Unity, etc. I think if a Switch version d...

So I pledged $20 but I don't know how to download the toybox, I go to BackerKit but I need an account, do I need to make one to get it?

Don't even care for the delay, it looks amazing and I really hope it launches with the NX.

I can see an NX version getting announced during the NX Event this fall.

It just got officially confirmed that Shovel Knight will be getting an Amiibo.

I feel a Yooka-Laylee Amiibo will defiantly happen.

I think the name Yooka-Toolee would be the name.

Yep this, they could have a demo at E3 2016 but for now seeing a new trailer at E3 would be great.

So do you guys think we have a chance of an e3 trailer?

Would love to see it at during the Nintendo conference.

would love online co-op.

The kickstarter is finally up and it's goal is £175,000 which it already almost reached, this project will get all the stretch goals for sure

EDIT: The project has been funded!

It makes me sad that this is only 3 months in development, hopefully we get it before the end of 2017. Gavin Prince has confirmed their plans to release in 2016 at the bottom of this article . Since it's targeting a 2016 release i'll keep myself to have low expectations just in case if they have to...

Cool, i'll update my post.

Absolutely. Maybe then, Nintendo could also buy the rights to Banjo-Kazooie and have Playtonic use them in some way. There's really no reason Nintendo shouldn't and at the point Playtonic's at now, they could get them for a fairly cheap price. Microsoft would have to sell it to them which likely wo...

Maybe like 15$ for backers, and 30-35# for non backers.

Edit: The only NeoGAF thread I found on it literally every comment loves the characters? "Those names are the right kind of groan-worthy" "The design is plain and stuck in the 90's." "Eeeeek. Looks terrible." "kinda...minimalist and bland. looks like it comes out ...

Hopefully we see a trailer tomorrow, I'm hyped!
