I’m still early into Yooka-Replaylee but…
They did it!
Immediately - controls better, looks better, sounds better, paced SO MUCH better, and funnier. And I say this as someone who still does not like the original Yooka-Laylee. But Replaylee so far is good, maybe even great!

Proud to be a Grabbed by the Ghoulies fan!
I drew this Artwork over the last couple of days as a Color & Light study. Ended up being one of my favorite things I've ever drawn!
Happy to contribute to the growing (statement not fact checked) Ghoulies Fan Community 🎃

It's great to see DK back in Bananza! Back in 1994, we were getting ready to bring DK back ourselves! With Nintendo having lost ground to Sega in the console wars, it can't be over-estimated how important DKC was for Nintendo (and Rare of course!)

There's a lot of love for our original DKC games in #DonkeyKongBananza It's great to see! I'm guessing a lot of the team grew up playing DKC.
