Even though the Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor was delayed till 2017, we are slowly learning more and more about the game. Playtonic allowed players to get their hands on Yooka-Laylee at EGX 2016. This 24 minute video shows off lots of promising stuff from the demo. Check it out below:

Delayed to 2017… maybe an NX version?
If Yooka-Laylee comes to NX, then the hybrid console will definitely be my next gaming machine next.
I hope to goodness it’s exclusive to NX or comes to NX !!!!!
please give us awesome games for the NX
just release it it already!
the Wii U is the most disappointed console i’ve ever owned.
THIS GAME LOOKS SO AWESOME! THIS IS WHAT NINTENDO USE TO BE!
GREAT JOB PLAYTONIC!
||It’s not exclusive to any faction at its current status unfortunately…||
Lets be fair though, making games is costing allot of money these days sometimes even movie prices 100 million+, so you have to release it on every console to make more money.
Not to mention these guys deserve everyone’s money, they made some of the best games in Nintendo history.
There possibly my favorite studio in video game history , altough everything Blizzard makes is also golden.
||Fascinating, your first comment to me without attacking me…||
||Unfortunately I can’t deny that, I’m of course always on Nintendo’s side when it comes to exclusives but as long as they treat our version as good or better than the rest then I’ll accept it…||
||Well the ancient Rare Tribe made Perfect Dark, one of my most preferable weapons in gaming history plus a whole stack of other gems, so yes they logically should deserve the resources…||
||Yes the Blizzard Empire is also one that I prefer to bargain with…||
I can be nice when i’m not stressed out cause i’m playing to much world of warcraft :D
I got a question for the people who don’t always agree with my opinions:
Don’t you think that this is exactly what Donkey Kong country should be like and not the 2d versions that we already had 20+ years ago?
And the same can be said about Kirby,Kid Icarus, Yoshi and perhaps some other franchises i’m forgetting (Starfox adventure game?).
And to take this topic one step further, should metroid be Nintendo’s serious shooter game with great exploration in single player, and multiplayer on a high level like the most played shooters?
Should F-Zero be one of the best race games out there? (I don’t know any good examples cause its not really my genre)
Or how about a real console pokemon game rpg style with perhaps a big open world like monster hunter and the new zelda.
Don’t you agree that nintendo games could be so much more than what they are?
Nintendo is one company. They have nowhere near enough resources to consistently devote that much time and money into each franchise you listed.
I tought about that aswell, but is that really our problem? They should find a solution. They can start by working with these guys again and give them Donkey Kong there the original creators of donkey kong country after all.
These games will generate more money for Nintendo meaning more rescources for other games aswell.
Actually, Nintendo has separate teams working on different games. No reason they can’t expand their teams.
Yes, of course they have separate teams for different games. But expanding the teams enough to do what he suggested would require massive hiring, which would drastically increase Nintendo’s budget and lose a considerable amount of money.
We’re talking about one of the richest companies. This brings me to a point I made numerous times; They do not take risks anymore. This shows with their franchises (though BotW is showing promise), and on this topic, with the company structure as well. They just play it safe when they don’t have to, in my opinion.
they don’t have to make them all at once though but atleast once each console cycle should be fine, and series like metroid,zelda, mario, donkey kong possibly twice.
I’ve wanted another 3D Donkey Kong game ever since Donkey Kong 64. But for some reason, Nintendo stuck to the 2D side scrollers.
I didn’t play Banjo Kazooie as a kid, but this game looks really fun! I love 3D platformers.
I’m a little weary about Kickstarter games, because of the bs Mighty No. 9 ended up being, but this title looks promising. I hope they make this game available for the NX as well, though, since the NX will be out in March.
Take it from my advice, the game is really fun, if you played Banjo Kazooie, you Won’t be bummed.
This game looks so beautiful and very promising. I can’t wait for it
i really hope they release it on nx too.. i dont know if selling it on a dying console its good at all.. i love my wii u but thats a fact
Wii U is dead. That is a fact.
I hope the NX is truly bad ass.
I hope it gets awesome fun and badass games like this.
We need more games like this. Crash, Spyro, Banzo-Kazooie, Conker, etc. were some of the best video game series’ to ever be made.
Don’t forgot Chameleon Twist, Gex, Ape Escape, and Tomba. And those are just the 5th gen platformers.
Oh for sure. Those were just the few I could think of on the spot!
I agree the consoles are more powerful, why these new gaming devices lack these 3D platforms? I dont know highly doubtful.
This definitely looks like it might be a good game. But only time will tell. It’s been SOOOOO long since I’ve played a game like this.

Anyone know if the rhymes are back? I sure hope so since Yooka lacks a back pack.
Please be getting an NX port as I really want to play this Banjo-Kazooie successor on a Nintendo console! Otherwise, I’ll have to get this game on PS4 instead because I’m not playing what will be an awesome game on an inferior console like Wii U.
