Dude, seriously this is becoming one of my most hyped games. It has to come to a platform I own (mainly PS4 or WiiU).


There is no doubt it'll come to all 3 current home consoles. This Kickstarter will be huge, so many people will follow. They devs really want to put it out on WiiU, going by the Q&A they really love and praised Nintendo. So much nostalgia with the conversation about Banjo Kazooie and DK 64!

Kinda funny, these guys basically saved Nintendo's ass back in the N64 days =P
But yeah its great to here they still want to work on Nintendo hardware. Wonder what they are thinking for amiibo though

Ohhhh, aaaa, lalala!! Hoping for it to shape up nicely, and escape its currently wishy washy approach to platform and speculation. Get the contract to nintendo, make them sign it! Boom! And its done.

But still concerned about the wishy washyness and random talks about amiibo.


well they love nintendo, Making amiibo for there franchise, a franchise where they want to base as the center of their company might be a really good way for them to stand out and besides some people like figurines for games and amiibo is such a thing :)

It would definetely sell well on wii u... But at its current place, it seems like the devs are doing marco polo.. Marco! Without nintendo replying polo...    Until we hear from nintendo officialy about this project, ill keep a dose of healthy scepticism, only to not be let down later :---p amiibo unlikely though, as it is a brand nintendo seems to be very proud of, and they dont wanna sully that brand with allowing right about anything to be part of it.

If there's one thing I wish Nintendo could have avoided, it is the sale of rare It seems like a lot of Nintendo fans these days like to downplay rare, saying they were past their peak, but that's just damage control. Nintendo and rare was one of the greatest game development partnerships ever and nintendo should try to work with ex rare devs as often as possibl. 


They're not wrong though, the Stampers and various teams had already left at that point and all of Rare's projects were running over budget and well off schedule it's not something people say just because they were sold as they were having problems at that point the was even a fierce internal rivalry between teams especially the Banjo and Conker teams, what finally sealed Rare's fate was Microsoft purchasing the majority of shares at which point Rare hold to be sold.

I see why publishers saw interest in these. It's extremely marketable for kids. At the same time, I'd love to see a great platformer out of this.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I get wat your saying. That said there is Disney Infinity + Skylanders already on Nintendo Platforms (yes i know they technically arent amiibo but still ;-D

Also Nintendo mentioned (if im remembering correctly) awhile back if Third Parties wanted to, they could do amiibos as well. Got to remember that there arent many third parties and also not many characters meaningful of amiibo.

This game however makes sense with amiibo especially with the devs wanting to build upon NPC characters into their own games.
