The Switch version of TY the Tasmanian Tiger has been successfully funded on Kickstarter in less than a week. To celebrate the project meeting its $50,000 USD goal, Krome Studios has added a new stretch goal.
Thank you to everybody who has pledged so far! We are humbled and honored to have your support in bringing TY the Tasmanian Tiger to the Nintendo Switch.
The new stretch goal is $75,000 USD and will add character customisation to the game. All of these designs will be made by the original creator of TY, Steven Stamatiadis. Krome Studios also noted how none of the skins would be locked behind a paywall, either. Here's the full rundown:
We'll have a selection of different skins to choose from, some of which will be unlocked as you play the game, some will be available from the moment you start playing. None of the skins will be locked behind "real money" expenditure (or even opal purchasing), and all skins will be available to all users (even those who buy the game at retail, from the eShop, when it is released) - ie, there will not be any "backer specific" skins.
If you want to join in on the celebration, you can download a TY the Tasmanian Tiger Cubee made by the folk at Cubee Craft. And for more information about this 3D platform game from the GameCube era coming to Switch, check out our previous post, the official Kickstarter page and view the trailer below:

I am so genuinely confused. Am I supposed to know what this is?
Crash, spyro, and now ty. Crikey! I love the switch!
@theiRiS ty the tasmanian tiger was a very underrated 3d platformer for the GameCube.
Is it anything like Banjo-Kazooie?
The Switch is getting so much 3D platformers. I love it. Now how about a Glover HD Remake. 😉
@AnnoyingFrenzy A lot actually. Ty is in the same Collectathon genre as Banjo-Kazooie. Though admittedly, gameplay is rather different. It's probably more in line with Tak or Legend of Kay. It's a bit less platform based and more combat based (basically all your moves are tied to your boomerangs), and the movement is not quite up to B-K standards. But it's certainly a series that has a lot of love put into it, from the environments to the script to the gameplay, even if it's not a top tier set of titles.
Basically, if you like collectathons, you'll like it, if not it won't change your mind.
EDIT: The original Jak and Daxter! That's the game I was trying to think of that it reminds me of.
I loved Ty on PS2. This is great news.
Maybe one day we'll get a Mischief Makers remake or, if I'm being ambitious, a sequel?
@tamantayoshi Now they just need to give us Jak and Daxter and Pac-Man World 2, and all the beloved third-party platformers of my childhood will be on Switch! (Unless Naughty Dog still holds the rights to Jak and Daxter, in which case my dreams are shattered.)
This was the first Kickstarter I donated too and thanks to Nlife for sharing the page. I wouldn't have found it otherwise.
And then we need one more HD remake of 3D platformer game from Gamecube / PS2 / Xbox era for Nintendo Switch

Kao the Kangaroo Round 2.
@link3710 Hmmm, interesting. I'll definitely be keeping this one on my radar!
Never played the first two games but I did have Ty 3, which I really enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing this on Switch.
I remember that I had this for the GameCube. Didn't play it much, though.
I completed this back in the day on ps2, but number 2 confused me a bit on where to go and which collectable I obtained so I ended up not finishing that one. Never played number 3 at all. Would love the ps3 Jak collection on SWITCH! My favourites, other than R&C.
I haven’t played this game in maybe 10 years, and can still hear that gif in my head.
You know what was a fairly unique sixth-gen platformer? Kya: Dark Lineage on PS2. The devs, Eden Games, still make games, doing the Gears.Club series now; maybe they could think of revisiting it, assuming it's not tangled up in the kerfuffle that is publisher Atari's odd history of name changes and buyouts.
I'd like to see Vexx next.
I remember playing Ty 2 on the Xbox and the game was quite fun. Am happy that Krome Studios succeeded in there goal.
Memba when ty was conaidered shovelware? Now shovelware is terrible and ty is beloved.
I remember it being panned super hard in the magazines at the time, are people really that nostalgic for it?
Another Remake -_-
