This game is like an N64 game remade for the modern generation I love it. Its everything banjo and kazooie was.

Screenshots













This game is hitting the right notes, punching me in my nostalgia, and I think it's going to be a successful game!

Oh my god there's an actual red-crested breegull in this game, even if it looks like a parrot. Zero shame.

Gee, that red bird looks mildly familiar.

I NEED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game is looking pretty good. I liked the stage of the villain on the trailer (right?), and the visuals are looking fabulous.

I wish my laptop could handle the Toy Box. I actually have the download code from backing but I can't use it because I can't afford a decent computer. Oh well. The real game is looking way better anyway.

I have a feeling that the location was where Hivory Towers is located.

Game footage~

Also, Laylee's dialogue is great.

Ah man, I thought it'd be an eshop demo

Huh, good, some new footage...

Even if I still haven't watched the footage from Gamescom...

Playtonic writer Andy Robinson did a telegraph article in gallery form:

Spread the word to avoid Kewpie-Jazzy at all costs- It is a blatant bootleg copy-paste derivative of Yooka-Laylee asking for funds that it doesn't deserve.

Kickstarter link to find out how bad it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/pr...rmer-rare-style

Just how bad it copies Yooka-Laylee: http://cliqist.com/2016/09/20/...h-yooka-laylee/

Playtonic Forums themselves show concern: http://forums.playtonicgames.c....php?f=6&t=4895

Comparison show blatant Rip-off of ShipWreck Creek

Notice how the teams logo derives itself from Playtonic's logo

Sorry if this is rambling, this is the current pool of information I have found.

And to end with a meme:

Oh come on now... That's just lazy! It's not even a clever bootleg!

Capital B's just getting ahead of the game to stop the duo with confused parents.

That Kewpie-Jazzy game is just sad. Apparently they even promised on the kickstarter to have Grant Kirkhope do music for the game, even though Grant Kirkhope never actually agreed to it, and now they're bugging him about it on Twitter (although, to be fair, there does seem to be a bit of a language barrier that may be partially to blame).

You mean this?

https://twitter.com/grantkirkh...265637323812865

Yeah, although I'd seen a couple other tweets that I thought were pestering him after the fact but were actually made before, so I was wrong that they're bugging him. However they're still claiming on their kickstarter that he was originally involved in the project and that he changed his mind because he had too much work to do.

Footage from EGX.

Well, this is interesting. That Jontron voicing him?

Is there a big-name indie game Shovel Knight isn't cameoing in

Also, that voice is way too soft to be Jontron, but it's familiar.

inb4 Kewpie-Jazzy gets Freddy Fazbear as a guest star now.

Shovel Knight looks pretty cool in Yooka-Laylee graphics. I wish we could unlock the ability to play as him.

Yeah, Jontron's voice is very different and recognizable.

Although the cameo is a bit forced, I don't think it should detract from the gameplay in any way.

In a more positive note, Those Idle animations are tearing me up. Oh, man *sniff* It's adorable!!!!

Also, do you think the music is for ShipWreck Creek or the main theme? Grant Kirkhope suggested that it could might be the main theme, but it fits ShipWreck Creek imo. We'll find out soon enough.

Shovel Knight in Yooka-Laylee? I´m getting this game now.

I wonder if the official forums have anything else on this--

"I will boycott any game that has Shovel Knight on it"
"A cameo in Y-K kills its purity"
"Playtonic is accepting bribes"

Alright time to never go there again. That said, SK is voiced by someone from Yacht Club, guess it just felt familiar.

Yeah I don't get why so many people at the official forum are so cynical. The devs are just being friendly with each other and having a fun little crossover cameo.

But the reaction is so much nicer elsewhere, that's what surprises me. Even people who don't like it on news outlets and reddit are like "well he's just an NPC", but the place that should be for the biggest fans is so elitist that the game can't possibly have cameos ever. Not making this up.

Yeah, that's weird. But I always expect the unexpected on these here internets. <.<;

Retail release announced.

AWESOME!!!!!! I've been wanting to be able to add this to my physical collection so badly!

Yooka-Laylee in Worms W.M.D. All Stars.

Nice cameo!

Forgot to mention, the game will be at Day of the Devs this weekend.

Amazon Dutch lists a March 14'th release date.
https://www.amazon.de/NBG-Yooka-Laylee/dp/B01NBERIRO/

Release announcement! Unfortunately, the Wii U version of Yooka-Laylee was cancelled due to unforeseen technical issues that unfortunately mean it will be impossible for Playtonic Games.

http://www.playtonicgames.com/...owards-release/

Well, Shantae Half Genie Hero just got my purchase, because I'll have to ask for a refund. God dammit, I was just thinking of how worth it buying a WiiU was because I still had this to look foward to. If it wasn't for Imaginators and Breath of the Wild(tho probably getting cancelled too), I'd sell it here and now.

Also pretty suspicious timing and circumstances when Unity is compatible with the WiiU just nicely. I've seen some people suggest Nintendo told them to make the Switch, literally, since it'd be a launch title.

\upset

I have to get the refund no matter what. PC can't run this, no guarantee I'll get a Switch until maybe the end of next year. Maybe I could get this on sale later best case scenario, but sorry Playtonic, I'm not made of money.

Oh crap. Looks like I'll never play this. Sad...

Just letting everyone know, despite the Wii U version being cancelled, a Switch version IS being looked into Playtonic is working closely with Nintendo to bring it to the System.

Yeah, but it won't make a difference to me. I'll be getting a Wii U next year, not a Switch, so... I can totally see this helping people, but not me.

The Wii U version was scrapped?



I can't say I'm surprised. Sucks for the people who don't have a PS4/Xbone. <.<

Why get a dead console the same year it's successor releases..?
