Zone 2-1 has one of the more scenic backgrounds. This video also reveals all the hostage locations (so spoilers). It complies with Sega PR's 10 minutes max footage posting guidelines for this game.

[Tizoc]

Totally forgot aboutthis game!
What was the release date again?

Man that was a fun playthrough, and Tembo's 'float' animation is adorable. How can you hate a Rambo Elephant who goes around rescuing people and blowing up tanks?

 

[Kouriozan]

Hoped for a HarmoKnight sequel but this also looks great!

Summer 2015

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Oh.

The name's like Rambo.

I get jokes.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Looks good, can't wait to play it on the Wii U.... Once Game Freak learns how to draw the logo. ¬_¬;

 

[Domstercool]

There was some taken from a level from zone 1 and a level from zone 2 as well.

[Nocturnowl]

The Rambi and Ellie animal buddy merger I never knew I wanted.
And that peanut pickup sound is familiar as well.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I played World 1 at Momocon and it was fun. It is like Rambi if he could hover like Yoshi.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Man, this looks like loads of fun.

 

[JMTHEFOX]

The interface and gameplay style is giving me tons of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat vibes.

The interface and gameplay style is giving me tons of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat vibes.

The peanut sound reminds me of Donkey Kong's banana sound.

 

[Timmy00]

I discovered this game as a joke with my boyfriend a few days ago but then we looked at the gameplay and it actually look like a ton of fun. It's the game I never knew I wanted

 

[pixelation]

Is it coming to the Wii U?

 

[udivision]

Is it coming to the Wii U?

Would a Wii U logo look good on the game's poster?

(No.)

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Is it coming to the Wii U?

Hes joking. The reason GF gave for no WiiU version was they forgot to put it on their mock poster for the game and so just decided to stick with the systems they put on it.
Total bullshit of course.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Looks fun.

 

[Jotamide]

On one hand it looks great. On the other, Game Freak are very incompetent devs. Harmoknight was more of an outlier than anything else. Hope they can prove me wrong.

 

[Ridley327]

This was a lot of fun to play at MomoCon. Fans of Donkey Kong Country will likely find a lot to love with this one.

 

[Mdk7]

Not feeling it unfortunately. :/

Give credit where it's due. They are getting pretty creative with these excuses.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Not feeling it unfortunately. :/

Kind of in the same boat, but I'm sure it'll be more fun later on. It was, after all, only the beginning of the game.

Besides, after the ultra greatness that was HarmoKnight, I would be willing to try this game out even if the footage put me to sleep, though, lol.

Yeah, I couldn't ever get mad at an excuse like that, haha. The logo didn't look good on the concept art, huh...

 

[GnawtyDog]

Rambi meets Ellie.

Looks nice!

Well that's a lame excuse.

 

[IsntChrisL]

Looks pretty fun. I don't know why they chose Wii U of all systems to exclude though. This seems like something the Wii U audience would love.

 

[Krejlooc]

I've loved every Gamefreak + Sega collaboration thus far, so I'm definitely buying this.

 

[Teknoman]

I've loved every Gamefreak + Sega collaboration thus far, so I'm definitely buying this.

Aside from Pulseman...what else was there?

 

[GWX]

Looks hella fun!

 

[threelights]

This looks about twenty times more fun than what I thought it would be.

Cool! I'm definitely looking forward to it now.

 

[Krejlooc]

Aside from Pulseman...what else was there?

Magical Tarurūto-kun. It's a bit more ho-hum, but it's still pretty easy on the eyes.

[Leafhopper]

Finally Donphan gets the respect it deserves.

 

[Teknoman]

Magical Tarurūto-kun. It's a bit more ho-hum, but it's still pretty easy on the eyes.

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

Too bad Sugimori isnt doing the art here.

 

[Parallax]

is C.H greenblat involved with this?

 

[bon]

On one hand it looks great. On the other, Game Freak are very incompetent devs. Harmoknight was more of an outlier than anything else. Hope they can prove me wrong.

Game Freak has never made a bad game.

Except maybe Yoshi.

 

[Jinfash]

I'm seeing this for the first time, and it looks really fun. But let me get this... this is a collab between SEGA and Game Freak... and it's a downloadable game for XBO, PS4 and PC only?

I mean, I know Game Freak is a third party, but it's still surprising.

 

[tirkaroKujo]

On one hand it looks great. On the other, Game Freak are very incompetent devs. Harmoknight was more of an outlier than anything else. Hope they can prove me wrong.

Yeah, naw. Drill Dozer and Pulseman are too good for this sinful world. (As would Jelly Boy if the game just controlled better)
Though I'd understand if you're just going by Pokemon. I always thought Game Freak were far better at action games than Pokemon games, ironically enough.

 

[Krejlooc]

Except maybe Yoshi.

Nope. Yoshi rules.

 

[Tizoc]

Summer 2015

Let me pre-order now!
Thanks for the info.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Oh.

The name's like Rambo.

I get jokes.

Tembo's the Swahili word for elephant and it's kinda stuck around as a defacto name, like "Rover" for a dog or whatever. It's not much of a pull.

 

[Tizoc]

Steam release date is 21 July, can someone make a thread about that please?

Likely all other systems will have it release on that same day too.

 

[drotahorror]

Well this looks really fun. That sound of gathering those collectibles sounds a lot like gathering bananas in the DK series though.

 

[SapientWolf]

The destruction effects in this game look completely insane. I wasn't expecting a 2D indie title to be one of the best looking games in the XBox booth. There was also more depth to the gameplay than I was expecting. Tembo has a ton of abilities and there's a lot of speed run potential.
