Back in 2002, Krome Studios created the platformer Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. Nearly two decades later, Krome Studios is looking to bring back the original game for Switch – and with a fresh coat of paint to boot.

A new Kickstarter opened today for a Switch remaster of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. Aside from updating the visuals, new Switch-specific controls will be included “where you can use them like boomerangs to throw and glide.” Audio improvements are also planned.

Thanks to Kevin N for the tip.
