I would love to hear the KI team talk about how they arrived at the decision to add him. It wasn't all that long ago that Adam Isgreen was saying Eyedol may be too silly. If they're adding a Battletoad then I think Eyedol is basically guaranteed.
I'm glad to see them having fun with KI.
They were already having fun with KI, though. This is just stepping outside a bit more from KI's box so to speak. I would like to hear them talk about it. Probably a good question for their textual stream.
Part of of KI's charm to me is that it seemed like it was created though the filter of some 12-year old kid trying to make a genuinely serious SF-like game with badass monsters, skeletons, and warriors. So while intend to be serious through that lens, it still comes off as goofy. For the most part, it's kinda stuck to that in the remake.
Eyedol was already in KI, and Battletoads is inherently sillier, so with this inclusion that doesn't hold much water now. I hope he's back on the table.
I'm just glad it's not Conker in the game. Now that would have been out of place.
