Just a thought. Who or what the bad guy is gonna be for this game? Has anyone given thought about this?

That's an interesting question actually because I honestly don't know it could be. It almost has to be something we've never seen before, nothing else would make sense.

Microsoft copyright lawsuits.

Super excited for this game. It's honestly everything I'd ever want in a "Rare" game.

[Melcadrien]

Interesting question. I'm wagering it would have to be something human like Gruntilda. But it can't be a witch, that's already been done with Banjo-Kazooie.

The only thing we can do about the bad guy is wait and see whenever the game comes out. Chances are its gonna be a likely stab at Microsoft that's what I'm thinking the bad guy would be like.

Time to make everyone cry.

Finally decided to pledge. I made a short donation. But I cannot wait for this game to be released.

Time to make everyone cry.

Oh my. I think I just shed a tear for how beautiful this is.

Just got an e-mail update on Yooka-Laylee.
I backed it for the Wii U version, but of course, it was canceled.
I'll just copy and paste the e-mail here.

Today we have a very important update on how console backers will soon be able to prepare their final platform choices for Yooka-Laylee, ahead of the game’s April 11 release.

Very soon we will unlock BackerKit surveys and allow you to make final adjustments to your game platform including Nintendo Switch, plus the opportunity to upgrade to a physical version for PS4 and XB1. Wii U backers affected by our recent announcement can also request a refund.

Thanks for your patience on this: we’ve been working very hard here at Playtonic not just to keep everyone as satisfied as we can, but to deliver the game you expect too.

First, an important reminder: Ahead of console surveys being unlocked (we will send another update to let you know when that happens), we encourage all Kickstarter backers to make sure they have access to their BackerKit account and contact BackerKit support to solve any issues. We’ve also prepared a detailed FAQ that should answer any questions you may have.

Digital console backers: Please note that if you choose to step up to a physical console version a £20 GBP upgrade cost will be required, which covers cost of goods, handling and shipping.

We continue to work closely with Nintendo on plans for a Nintendo Switch version of Yooka-Laylee and more details will be revealed in the future. We’d like to thank our many Nintendo fans for their continued patience and understanding while we form our plans: we hope to make your platform of choice a great place to experience Yooka-Laylee in the future!

Note: Upon release, the Switch version will be delivered to backers via digital game codes and thus no additional upgrade cost is required.

-------------------------

Forthcoming options depending on your current platform choice
When we unlock your survey through BackerKit, Wii U backers will be able to do one of the following:
- Change to a PC digital Steam version (and receive Toybox Plus on PC Steam to compensate for price difference)
- Change to a digital console version (Xbox One, PS4 or Switch)
- Upgrade to a physical console version (Xbox One or PS4 - £20 upgrade cost applies)
- Request a refund
*Please note that all Wii U backers who don’t choose another platform will be defaulted to PC digital Steam

When we unlock your survey through BackerKit, Xbox One & PS4 backers will be able to do one of the following:
- Change to a PC digital Steam version (and receive Toybox Plus on PC Steam to compensate for price difference)
- Change to a different digital console version (Xbox One, PS4 or Switch)
- Upgrade to a physical console copy (Xbox One or PS4 - £20 upgrade cost applies)
- If you’re happy with your original choice, do nothing at all!

PC digital backers
- Thank you for your support too. You don’t need to make any adjustments to your survey and will receive your pledges as planned.

Huge thanks again to all backers for your patience and support as we work through the process of delivering many physical items, plus complex fulfillment plans, to ensure that everyone is as satisfied as possible with the game, on their platform of choice!

Look out for another message soon alerting you to when your BackerKit survey is unlocked.

The trailer for Yooka Laylee on the switch. What a time to be alive. It looks beautiful.

This game is really going to be something special, I can tell.

Can confirm that it's going to be good. I played a demo of it before because when you pre-order it, there's a code for one, and it's really good.

I just got an email this morning saying "Here's your PS4 code!"

I selected Nintendo Switch...

A friend said he requested a PC code and also got the PS4.

[CLXcool]

Just curious. Have the bugs been sorted out in the steam version of the game?

[Hexadecimal*]

...So I heard this game is actually a huge disappointment?
