If you spot them on your travels, snap a pic and share it with us, we’d love to see! 📸✨

Heading to EGX!? Look out for them, they have stickers!

Yooka-Replaylee is out now on... well EVERYWHERE! 💚💜

The open world 3D platforming epic with hundreds of collectibles to discover, an evil capitalist bee to defeat, and a snake in trousers await!

It's bigger. It's better. It's Yooka-Replaylee!

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 🎃

Gnawty & Zinger. The DKC enemy designs are simple yet so creative.

This is #DonkeyKong art day 69 (yeah yeah, shut up). I stopped for a while because I really wanted to try and make some new stuff among the reposts!

Now, which is your favorite design for the hefty boy?

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!)

3 decades apart. We were 3d pioneers, back in the day.

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.
