That David Wise - 'Jungle Challenge' track on the page.

 

[Messofanego]

Sweet jesus at that funding rate.

 

[Nosgoroth]

It is going to reach 100k in the first day.
Oh yeah, this is getting funded.

At this rate, it's going to reach 100k in the first 15/20 minutes.

Playtonic, better prepare more stretch goals!

 

[Timeaisis]

It is going to reach 100k in the first day.
Oh yeah, this is getting funded.

It's going to reach $100K in the first hour.

EDIT: There it is.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Already $100k

 

[Mango The Magician]

No early bird benefits

Yooka is male and Laylee is female!

Is this confirmed, because I basically called it if so, I knew "Laylee" sounded more feminine than Yooka.

Spoiler

For the most part, yes. It just seems like compared to what came before it, WW really spruced them all up. Twilight Princess made a pretty good attempt at trying to inject personality into them again, but I get the feeling most of that personality went into Midna somehow, since she's widely regarded as the best partner character. Twilight Princess is basically Wind Waker's opposite in terms of aesthetics, and Skyward Sword tried to be both. Also, Zelda definitely took a backseat to Midna in TP, and was used by Ganon as a tool against Link, a rare event that I can recall only happening again in Spirit Tracks, albeit by a villain other than Ganon, but still.

Every Zelda game is a masterpiece in its own way. I just tend to gravitate toward Wind Waker. Majora's Mask used to be my favorite tied with it, and it took some extensive thinking before I finally settled on Wind Waker being number 1 and Majora number 2.

Been having a similar mind battle with the Paper Mario RPGs as well... but we're really getting off-topic here.

Spoiler

I can agree to most of this. I do think that the art style makes the personalities seem a bit more expressed than usual, don't really know if they are or aren't. Also, I think honestly a bit too much time went into Midna, game was still great though. Anyways, well yeah, not sure how to end this sentence.

 

[Jamix012]

So Laylee's the girl after all? I'd rather the other way around but whatever.

 

[robotrock]

It's going to reach $100K in the first hour.

EDIT: There it is.

the first 10 minutes! christ almighty!

 

[FloweryMarston]

those two tracks......



someone hold me

 

[zephervack]

My god that music, is this Banjo-Kazooie 3?

 

[Lijik]

"Yes, we employ the man responsible for DK64's myriad of trinkets, but we've had a stern word."

This got me pretty good

 

[kevin1025]

I think they're going to make the goal in the next few hours. Jeez.

 

[dancrane212]

£1000000 here we come!

 

[AzureTranquility95]

So Laylee's the girl after all? I'd rather the other way around but whatever.

Same. Still, that concept art quote in the OP raises my eyebrows...

 

[hydruxo]

That David Wise - 'Jungle Challenge' track on the page.

LMAO my thoughts exactly

 

[zephervack]

The kickstarter video has no audio no matter what I do, is this on my side?

 

[ffdgh]

$40k in 4 minutes lol.

Dang. The promise of hype is real.

 

[J@hranimo]

Funded!

That felt good. It will be sublime to play this on the Wii U.

 

[Cindres]

Dropped onto Digital Deluxe ++ in the end, I don't think I need physical stuff, but damn if I don't want some art.

 

[vgamer1]

Is this confirmed, because I basically called it if so, I knew "Laylee" sounded more feminine than Yooka.

From the Kickstarter Page:

Our new heroes, Yooka (the green bloke with no pants) and Laylee (the wisecracking lady-bat with the big nose) were conceptualised from the ground up for stellar platforming gameplay, created by the same character artist behind the rebooted Donkey Kong family and legendary N64 heroes Banjo and Kazooie.

 

[AkelisRain]

Is the Kickstarter up?
Found it. Guess I am pledging $24!

 

[SovanJedi]

Have some exclusive art, GAF

This is awesome, love it! Yooka looks loads more appealing in this one now.

Best of luck with the game! Certainly going to be a winning Kickstarter at least. ;P

 

[Leflus]

I've done my part. First game I've ever supported on Kickstarter.

 

[King_Moc]

$1000000 here we come!

It's £1,000,000 they're after for the full amount, so probably around $1,600,000.

 

[statham]

This is going to hit its goal today.

 

[Camjo-Z]

I'm in for a console copy! (Thank goodness there isn't any physical merch I'm interested in, I'd be broke after the ToeJam & Earl Kickstarter took most of my money)

 

[Shard]

This is probably going to be funded within the hour.

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

Holy crap. it's going to be funded within the hour, tops.

I pledged for the digital deluxe toybox++ whatever edition.

 

[Mango The Magician]

I'm glad that Laylee is a girl, she looks like she has the better personality anyways. Plus she's channeling a bit of a old cartoon character from when I was younger in that artwork, glad to see that I wasn't just imagining things.

 

[roytheone]

It is going to reach 100k in the first day.
Oh yeah, this is getting funded.

It is going to reach 100k in the first hour! Hell, it will probably going to reach 100k in the first half hour!

Also, those music tracks on the kickstarter page are sooooo good. The first one could be literally from banjo-kazooie, and the second one just sounds amazing!

 

[Wiggy]

i dont know why its so interesting watching a some people i dont know make money, but here i am watching the kickstarters numbers go up

 

[dancrane212]

It's £1,000,000 they're after for the full amount, so probably around $1,600,000.

Caught me before my edit!

 

[Curler]

Weird. I click on the physical amount at 70, but it pops up at 80?

 

[FrsDvl]

Never backed anything before, but I'm definitely backing this!

 

[Star Falcon]

£85k in 15 mins.

The thirst is real.

 

[muteki]

Backed.

Halfway to goal already lol.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Pledged for the $23 tier.

Now to make sure I have $23 in my account in 46 days.

 

[Platy]

It's been up for 1 minute and already at 10k holy shit haha

Edit: 23k now!

WHILE I watched the video and the music samples they went from 49k to 86k

 

[Shard]

i dont know why its so interesting watching a some people i dont know make money, but here i am watching the kickstarters numbers go up

Probably because it is moving at a fast rate.

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

That David Wise track is fantastic!

 

[openrob]

lol you refresh the kickstarter page and watch the funded amount shoot up by a grand every few seconds!

 

[Erekiddo]

I would love the N64 box/cart but not for $500+.

 

[TheJoRu]

The David Wise-track is pretty great. Not a super-fan of the steel drum, but otherwise really groovy.

Grant's track is, well...it's Banjo-Kazooie music. I'd prefer something where the connection was perhaps a little less blatant; maybe same kind of rhythm and groove but with some other kinds of instruments? It's still pretty darn good, though, if you take it for what it is.

 

[JetSetRadio]

It looks aight.

 

[NotLiquid]

Expected the gender roles to be switched but oh well

Im excited! Crazy how much money its gotten already

 

[disap.ed]

90.000 pounds in 15 minutes. Mother of god!!! :-o

and 100.000 within the time I watched the video. Crazy ... and amazing.

 

[Kouriozan]

I hope they reach £1,000,000 for Day 1 release on all platforms.

Yep that sounds sweet as well, looking at the funding rate, high chances it'll make it.

 

[lt519]

WHILE I watched the video and the music samples they went from 49k to 86k

David Wise value confirmed 12k per minute

 

[gbpackers25]

This is definitely going to be the quickest funded KickStarter ever!

 

[mcmmaster]

Oh man, Wise's track on the Kickstarter page is insane!
