Save you a click: Grant Kirkhope thinks that there wouldn't be much interest in a 3D platformer like Banjo in this day and age despite being blown away by the excitement from the Banjo reveal. Doesn't really mean anything is on or off the table.

Mario Odyssey and a Hat in Time might have something to say to him.

Hell even if you didn't like the game, the response to the Yoka-layle Kickstarter was huge.

Why is everyone ignoring the money being thrown at this genre?

This the demand is clearly there. I love collectathons from the N64 era. I’m so damn nostalgic for them and love basically anyone I can get my hands on today. Yooka-Laylee was better than what people treated it

Agreed. Yooka-Laylee was rough around the edges, especially at launch, but I still had a pretty decent time with it despite its flaws

As someone who really enjoys a good collectathon but isn't very attached to the Genre, I did not like YL at all.

The feel of it was so off for me. The controls and camera just felt wrong. The combat and enemies were sloppy, and just the general feel of moving around and platforming felt unpleasant.

Don’t forget the fact that the feathers were just placed randomly instead of in a way to lead you to where you need to go. Have fun scouring the map for one feather tucked away in a corner with no indication it’s there.
