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.

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...

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!
