Yeah... but look at that spin attack, it screams J&D... and this game doesn't have guns while R&C does. Plus J&D are just plain the cooler duo!!!
He still fared better than Sonic.
Sonic made it into smash tho.
This fooled me for a second.Backed so fucking hard.

My only complaint too. I'm sure they'll be changed when they figure out what the games macguffin will be.
Was there any reason Banjo-Kazooie used notes? Bananas make sense in a game about monkeys, but why were they musical notes in BK? I can't even remember if there was a reason.
Also, I wonder what this games version of Jiggies will by. And if there'll be Jinjos. It looks like we're already getting a Mumbo-Jumbo.
EDIT: Oops, got confused.

But I want the PS4 version, and a rolling DK with Diddy (or Dixie?) would be too perfect so Id need both

Good chance of that happening at this rate.
Because the two main characters were named after musical instruments?
Mostly because of increases team sizes. Nowadays, we have engines and technology available that allow a team as big as during N64 times to create a game that looks as great as Yooka-Laylee. Does it look like a low budget indie game? Not really. Looks like something that could've been made by a 50-man team during the Xbox days.
Na it's slowing down a bit.
I have little doubt it'll hit £1,000,000 by the end, though

God this looks adorable.... I like these guys more than Banjo and Kazooie already.
I got my stretch goals mixed up. Sorry.

Hahaha I love this
Enjoy it while it last. Gamers are a fickle bunch, and will turn on you as soon as you step out of line just a bit.

Fucking AWESOME! Can't wait to see some footage and hear a song or two off the soundtrack. Gonna have to finally beat Banjo Kazooie myself before this comes out, a lot of my time with that game was watching my older brothers beat it
EDIT: Shit, totally didn't even check out the Kickstarter video or the audio samples. My god this game is going to be great

Remember most people in the US are still at work/school.
Backed so fucking hard.
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but is this a real screenshot from one of the Banjo-Kazooie games? Is that dialogue real, lol?
It's edited, it used to say See you in Banjo Threeie
It said "Banjo-Threeie" before IIRC.

If only I could afford "Help shape the game" I would do that.
Does anyone know if the digital deluxe versions include the consoles? Or is this only for PC? I either want this on X1 or PS4.

That's inaccurate. 3D World has sections that are 2D, but also many sections that are fully 3D... and not on a "small plane", either. In those 3D sections, the absolute biggest difference that could be credibly identified between 3D World and a game like Galaxy is that the camera is zoomed out farther.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Wii U may be lacking a platformer of the kind you describe, but so is pretty much every platform right now.

Congrats on getting funded.

But not yet... Not yet.

Gonna be disappointed when I wake up later after sleeping and this game hasn't reached that 1 Million mark.

I stopped kickstarting video games a while ago. But this one... This project looks different.
Not only do I love the N64 era Rare titles, but this team has experience. I like the fact they have already begun work and have plans to continue even without kickstarter funding.
After seeing this game in motion, I can't help but plop down some funding on this one; if for nothing else, to send today's Rare a message.

Haha, okay thanks for the quick reply.
I was going to say..."Did they really think of that name Yooka Laylee way back in 1998?!"
Seems like there's alot of momentum on twitter, I just saw Tim Schafer tweet about it. I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't hit 1 mil.

Backed, of course. It will be a long torturous wait.

Can you guys imagine if MS actually announces a Banjo-Threeie (like rumors suggest) and both of them come out the same year? My tears will be bottled on that day.
