What: A crowdfunded homage to Rare's 1998 N64 platformer Banjo-Kazooie that is being developed by much of the same team. You play as two characters in this humorous, retro 3D platformer: the sensible chameleon Yooka (whose tongue functions like a grappling hook), and the crazier bat Laylee (who can fly and carry objects). Each can acquire other talents by purchasing extra abilities from the pants-wearing "business-snake" Trowzer.
When: April 11th
