Playtonic are devious and have yet to officially reveal the two main characters featured in their forthcoming project Project Ukulele. Someone pointed out to me on Twitter that the second character could be a Macaw based on the art assets the company put out yesterday which apparently shows the two main characters hiding in shrubbery. They later took them out. I guess we won’t know for sure until Playtonic lift the lid on what they’re cooking up.

The second character could be a plant. That would be a hilarious turn of events.
But, yeah, I don’t even see the bird in that shot. All I see is a clown with black face paint and a creepy yellow wig looking strait ahead. What are the features supposed to be?
I don’t know about that but the first character is definitely a iguana or gecko or something like that
If it were an iguana, it would have a lot more spiky parts of it’s body, but the skin of the lizard creature is smooth. So I would lean more towards gecko. Maybe as a gecko, you can change colors and blend in with the environment?
But, based on the coloring, yellow-ish/orange or red, it could very well be a common salamander or newt.
No no, if it’s a gecko then it’s abilities are to save you 15% or more on your car insurance.
Well they did say revealing the characters would spoil the gameplay
Waaay stretched, isn’t it?
And the news keeps on coming….
A “McKaw” sounds like what McDonald’s will be forced to make sometime in the future when both real beef and beef-like products become scarce.
Just wanted to say thanks to the awesome My Nintendo News team for making this the best Nintendo news site out there. Keep up the good work!
Uhh… Isn’t it spelled “macaw”?
Someone was hungry when they tweeted out the word “McCaw” instead of “Macaw.” XD
Ha, yes. It was my lunch time!
Sorry guys, looks like McDonald’s was on my mind yesterday! But, it’s still great to be recognized!

No, whatever it is, it has an orange beak. From the picture of the eyes, you can kinda make out an orange beak.
I think it’s kind of weird to have lizard and a… Bird. I know they’re going for a Banjo-Kazooie type dynamic, but birds eat lizards. Like, would you run around and go adventuring with a hungry shark on your back?
A bear did that once. Saw it in a game
Well, the lizard is bigger than the bird. Also, Banjo is a bear and I’m sure a bird wouldn’t want to land on a bear’s back, because bears eat birds.
So, if they weren’t concerned about Banjo eating Kazooie, I’m sure they aren’t worried about the bird eating the lizard.
looks cool :)
Finally a developer to make a 3D platformer and it doesn’t look like it has to obey the laws of nature. That’s just how I like it.
Plot twist: Playtonic Games purchased the Gex IP from Crystal Dynamics and is going to make Gex one of the two stars of Project Ukulele. The 90s are truly being revived!
HEY SICKR!
How come you didn’t post this article I tweeted to you about wave 4 amiibos?

I’m afraid I don’t often get time to check my @replies. Always best to use the contact form on the blog!
I couldn’t find any way to contact you other than tweeting.
Why didn’t Nintendo think to buy this so it can be an exclusive to Wii zu while it is in R&D? BUT NINTENDO IS STUPID.
