During a developer panel at EGX just a few moments ago, a new trailer was shown for Yooka-Laylee. It’s been revealed that Shovel Knight will be joining the game as a special guest character.
Here’s the video:
Playtonic and Team17, who is working with Playtonic on Yooka-Laylee, discussed the idea of featuring a guest character. Playtonic then turned to Yacht Club Games’ Shovel Knight after thinking about how it was a “much-loved game” with a team that “shares the same kinds of values we do as developers and has created something fantastic in the past”. It was also important to include a character that could appear on all platforms.
Shovel Knight’s way of speaking in Yooka-Laylee will be “authentic”. After receiving an explanation and practicing on a Skype call, Yacht Club went through the steps of how Playtonic creates the mumbling voices, and the result was added to the title directly.
Playtonic also indicated that there aren’t any other guest characters in Yooka-Laylee, but the studio is open to the idea.
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, you’ll end up battling the various Koopalings, including Morton. GameXplain shows that boss fight in the video below.
Just when we thought all of the Super Mario Run interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto were done and over with, another one popped up on our radar. Pocket-lint was among several outlets that caught up with Miyamoto following the big news a few weeks ago. Topics in the interview included the importance of making Super Mario Run simple, how Nintendo is approaching mobile and its future there, and more.
As always, we encourage you to read up on the full article, which you can do right here. A roundup of notable comments can be found after the break.

When we originally reported on The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening, it seemed to be on track for August. That month came and went, and it looks like the book still isn’t out. So when will we see it? If Amazon’s listing is anything to go by, The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening finally releases on October 18.
The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening provides “an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the smash-hit 3DS game, from beautifully illustrated renditions of your favorite characters, to storyboards for in-game events, character designs, weapon designs, character profiles, and the entirety of the script with every possible branch of dialogue”. Amazon’s listing seems to include a couple of new preview pages, so we’ve included those below.
