What do you mean? There's an option to switch to the Switch version.


Really?! Did I miss the Jawa meltdown for that?

Still don't like the colour palette, it's far too dark.

Looks like something Jawa will really enjoy. :D

The mine cart bit looked great. Bit worried about some of the camera work though.

Dare I say it, but this looks a bit like a crowd-funded game!

Maybe that's just because I've been playing Mario 3D World, and not many games achieve that level of polish...

What do you mean by polish? Because even from the toybox demo the platforming mechanics felt very solid

Visually I think it has that weird realistic HD textures in cartoony world issue, but other levels (that are bright and outside) have looked better imo.

That video just looked a bit amateurish to me...very jerky manual camera, a bit dull, no real character or charm...

I've still pre-ordered the game though :toot:

It's the final day for the backers to change their preference platform.

Nah, this looks good, hell play 5 minutes of the first level and go play Sonic Boom instead.

On the other hand, GameXplain were VERY positive about it (from 25hrs of play, btw)



:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Good to know they kept in some framerate problems for that authentic N64 feel! :mrgreen:

Fixed, hopefully they'll use Unreal Engine 4 next time.

I want this on day one, but I'm still playing on Horizon: Zero Dawn and Ghost Recon: Wildlands so how can I find time for this? :dread:

It is £28.99 from Amazon at the moment.
