Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yooka-Laylee will be adding a new model for its 64-bit Tonic, developer Playtonic has announced. A specific release date hasn’t been announced.
Players can already access the 64-bit Tonic, which gives Yooka-Laylee a retro-esque look. However, the in-game model didn’t really match the feel of that style. With this new model – pictured above – Playtonic is delivering on fan requests to have Yooka and Laylee seem as though they were right out of the N64 era.

Yooka-Laylee getting Kickstarter campaign for spin-off comic
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Yooka-Laylee currently exists only as a game. However, Dreamprism Press is looking to expand the IP into a new area.
Having received developer Playtonic’s blessing, Dreamprism intends to open a Kickstarter tomorrow for a Yooka-Laylee spin-off comic. It’s been written and illustrated by D.M. Cumbo, a former artist at Insomniac Games. According to IGN, the comic takes place after the game and involves Yooka and Laylee entering a new tome world in a race against Dr. Quack to grab an artifact rumored to grant invincibility.
The project will be realized if the Kickstarter campaign reaches $40,000 in funding. It’ll run until November 16, with rewards to ship in June 2019. Fans can purchase a digital edition for $15, a hand-sewn hardcover at $30, a Kickstarter-exclusive edition at $50, and the limited Grand Tome Collector’s Edition at $75.
