Yeah, after learning this--I'm thinking of exploring all of the worlds before expanding so that I can have all the moves. Curious if anyone else is doing this, definitely could cut down on backtracking. As quoted from my review post last week: I guess it's also worth mentioning that because you are...

Are trowser moves in expanded worlds or only in new worlds? Trying to decide whether or not to expand. Once you enter a new world, you are able to: 1. Buy new moves, either in the new world or worlds after/before it. 2. Access a free move in Hivory Towers (but you have to find him). Expanding a wor...

I think it's either Kirkhope or Sutherland doing sort of an MC Chris impression (or some other 90's-ish Hip Hop artist. It's definitely most likely that it's one of the staff (since they do most of the voices), but I figured it was a possibility given how close the voices sound and how well-known t...

As I've listened to the Yooka Laylee rap (which is awesome btw)--I've noticed something...the high voice sounds a whole lot like Parappa the Rapper. Any chance Playtonic hired the voice actor without telling anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mSzJj1c1z0 Here's for comparison... https://www.you...

Just saw on my email that Xbox codes have been sent. Does anyone know if the game is available to play or if it is just for preloading? It is just for preloading on xbox. It will be unlocked on the 11th at midnight or slightly differently depending on your time zone. You can check on the xbox for w...

Blast Corps was a lot of fun from the little I've played of it. I've actually never played the XBLA versions of the Banjo games (only N64)--so I'm curious to see how they compare to the originals.

I actually really liked Nuts and Bolts once I got past how different it was to past Banjo titles.

Hey everyone! Noticed there is not a lot of discussion on Rare Replay around the web and thought I'd try to change that (on this site at least). Discuss what games you're currently playing on it and if there are any games that have surprised you. I just finished playing Kameo for the first time and ...

E for erbody (probably E10+ really, just had to say that)

I personally am a huge fan of orchestrated soundtracks. They definitely add a lot of feeling to any game they are used in and were mainly not used previously because of technical limitation. While this may not help my case since it is a "synthetic orchestra"--this gives an idea of what Fre...

This is a thread to speculate on what animal the 2nd main character will be. We already know that one of the main characters will be some kind of lizard/chameleon. The 2nd animal looks like an owl to me. If you look at the silhouette--the 2nd animal clearly looks like some kind of bird but the head ...

I personally hope it releases on Xbox One since that is the only current gen system I own (other than a 3ds). There are likely quite a few Rare (and now Playtonic) fans that play on the platform.

My favorites would have to be...
Freezeezy Peak
Treasure Trove Cove
Spiral Mountain Theme
DK Isle from DK 64
Windy from Conker
Music played the first level of DKC 2 (don't remember the name)
Showdown Town in BK N&B

Chameleon Twist was definitely a really fun game. It was much more linear than Banjo Kazooie though and wasn't as well known of a title, so I doubt Playtonic will get many comments about resemblance.

I've definitely still been gaming over the last 2 console generations, but it was a shame having my favorite genre completely missing (3D collection platformers). What other fan base had had their favorite genre completely disappear? Looking forward to Ukulele, Lobodestroyo, A Hat in Time, and the C...

I would definitely agree that early access is not necessary. Betas do spoil aspects of the game. They also do take away from the final experience as part of it will be replaying sections rather than first experiencing them.

As many references to stop n swap as possible.
