Beautiful speech by Abubakar Salim, may his dad RIP..🙏 The game looks amazing, excited to play it next year. Wishing the team success.

[@alkebulanshujaaogun5152]

Rest in peace Abubakar Salim's dad 🙏🏿 Looking forward to playing this! 💪🏿🤴🏿

[@Wonderlust-i6g]

Rip that game studio.

[@Sagi.Baten.Kaitos]

Surprised at the Golden Sun name drop. I'll say this much; he's advertised the game more than Nintendo has in the last 10 years

[@Fircasice]

The fact that he can appreciate Golden Sun just shows how remarkable he is. Looking forward to the game!

[@GtotheA182]

His sentimental speech alone made me pre-order the game. Not a huge fan of side scrollers but this looks amazing. Can't wait to play it.

[@blerd-ish]

This man got me hype. He is getting a buy from me. Glad to see African lore in gaming

[@super-engineer8437]

Same

[@Olphas]

Abubakar seems to be such a wonderful person. I am looking forward to play the game

[@grimmashley8422]

Shoutout to this man for delivering a heartfelt speech, an amazing looking game, and a fire outfit on top of it. Killer presentation on every level

[@azra-games]

one of the highlights of the night, beautiful speech

[@leafblade2636]

Your game shows so much love, culture, and an attention to making something fun, fast and epic, and touched with grief. I'll wishlist and watch for this game, pre-ordering when I can. I see the games that inspired Abubakar growing up in it, and hope this does well!

[@joshg7949]

Ill get this game for sure. This guy sounds like a genuinely nice person.

[@MrWhite5150Duke]

Bless him. I hope I manage to play his game.

[@mymthegreyful]

Same. I've never played a PC game but now i want to .

[@Beatness121]

Wow I missed his name and didn't recognize that he was Abubakar Salim omg. I loved him in Raised by Wolves.

[@aizuddinfahmi9255]

I think this is the only game that caught my attention during the TGA. I wish for this game success and looking forward to playing it soon!

[@Saferoom45]

His father should be very proud of his son for this. May he rest in peace. Update: I have not only bought, but also finished the game and it was worth playing. It was hard and struggling but this game showed me to never give up and be strong and smart. Thank you for making this game.

[@HenriqueHCA14]

I never knew who voiced Bayek until I saw it live, he delivered such a great performance in Origins. The game looks fun though, a lot more interesting than the new Prince of Persia

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

That opening cutscene where he killed Rudjek still give me chills bro... i may bought this game because of Abubakar Salim alone

[@eldragonball14]

Both look awesome

[@TheFamousMockingbird]

Agreed, prince of Persia has been very forgettable and mundane

[@creedwolf13]

GOLDEN SUN YEEAAHHH

[@paperluigi6132]

That right there was the most relevance Golden Sun will have in years.

[@Bman32x]

Except when Nintendo re-upped the trademark in 2018 for games and amiibo. Then proceeded to not do either

[@rohanrodrigues7115]

​@Bman32x except nintendo will be adding the game to nso

[@BigGoronSword]

​@@rohanrodrigues7115I'm giving Nintendo until the end of January to to it. They just added 3 N64 games, why are they dragging their feet for 2 GBA games?

[@ariseharbinger4799]

was he working on Origins around the time his father passed away? Most of the emotional scenes felt raw

[@TheGrapeTyphlosion]

This looks phenomenal. Looking forward to playing this game.

[@ceebreezycb]

Pre Order to Support you My Brother Much love from Germany Peace ✌️

[@OrenjiKoomori]

Golden Sun! For sure my personal highlight from this, just hearing him say the name of one of my favorite franchises made me go "Yes! Let's Go!!". Thank you Abubakar Salim, you are a chad and wish you good luck with your game.

[@AllDayErrDay.]

This game looks amazing. Makes me think of Ori.

[@FearFox]

I remember watching this live, his speech got me tearing up. May his father rest peacefully. ❤️ Right after the show i instantly pre ordered the game on switch. Can’t wait to check it out!! It looks incredible.

[@awesomebrady369]

This was so beautiful

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

This game looks incredible. I love platformers! its giving Mario, Ori, Metroid vibes. I love the Black Panther. African cultural tie in. Im definitely buying this game as soon as it drops. No Questions asked.

[@royal2852]

I was honestly expecting a lame pretentious walking sim or something from the speech (which is what I usually expect after emotional speeches) but I was pleasantly surprised seeing a kickass fast-paced 2D platformer instead. Honestly looks better than Ubisoft's new Prince of Persia. Did not expect it to go like that.

[@suhendrickson7362]

I’m so freaking excited for ZAUUUUUU

[@bbarrett726]

Such Beautifully Imaginative game.

[@rob9943]

This looks incredible. Love a game with heart in it.

[@GianYactayo]

This game is on huge already. Im sure it will be nominated for next awards. It looks deep and memorable

[@MeggaMann_theBlueLion]

Passion in gaming is the medicine the industry needs Thank you

[@21kHzBANK21kHZ]

The one game I'm interested in from this Pigsty of a show.

[@alibektas8934]

Now this is what all of us can connect to immediately. Such heartfelt truthful expression and emotion.

[@Scaarz]

Congrats Abu, that is so cool!

[@Ryan-nf4ee]

Lost my Mom in October, so I’m glad I didn’t watch this live… Would’ve made me cry on the spot because I too am trying to figure everything out after losing a really close family member! Needless to say, I preordered this game…

[@jameswtlocs]

It looks really great ngl

[@armando7682]

Looking forward to it!

[@glipgloppapi9959]

this is incredible

[@Guuunston]

Ahh what a guy. I first met Abu during the Garry's Mod days. I always knew he'd amount to something special.

[@FatesR]

He's really genuine and heartfelt. I like him and his passion and love for gaming and his late father. I wish him nothing but the best, and may his father rest easy

[@ZuriArtia]

This would be like the second African game after Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan with the latter being an okay first effort game from a Cameroonian team.

[@lucascoval828]

Well at least one other person has brought up that other game.

[@forthehomies7043]

Looks sick. The only 2D games I've played is the Ori series. It's time to give 2D another run with Tales of Kenzera.

[@VK-oc2bx]

Do check out ->Death's door, Forged in Shadow Torch, Trine series.

[@JonJaded]

We are so in.

[@kiyotaka2494]

Since he mentioned Golden sun, i will play his game 😁

[@elsecaller-jacob8346]

It’s out today! Day 1 but I’ll always support this!

[@tatienouorest3358]

When he mentioned Golden Sun he got a free pass to my wallet🎉

[@aungthukha2104]

Bayek the 🐐

[@asilos9911]

Excited for this game!

[@djinn_34]

Yeeaaah we need another golden sun!!

[@LCyte88]

I'm so interested in this

[@tushartanvir5672]

heard he will be House of the dragon S2

[@captay7251]

Imma get this game to honor his father Respect

[@ckatech]

It looks like a great Ori-like game

[@Doomer253]

That drip is nice! Taking suit notes...

[@shatteredsentient5321]

Day one cop. Just for his dad, his passion, and even before the Golden Sun name drop.

[@ajayiayokunle9810]

Day one

[@ChelseySmithHandle]

Praise Sol. Miss you Father!

[@FatesR]

I had to double take when I heard him name drop Golden Sun. Wow it's been so long. The Lost Age forever!

[@cheesytrojan]

Looks sick Abu!

[@ivanzoneBR24]

Its almost like Salim could foresee Golden Sun return. Is he an adept?

[@xoxamyoxx]

I love this

[@eddym1204]

RIP 🪦 to his dad 👨

[@Whattabatt]

HAIL TO THE SKY KING

[@FuegodeInfierno]

And now Golden sun is coming to Switch online finally

[@THEGARNERCOLLECTIVE]

Looks like prince of persia the lost crown.

[@everrunic8375]

I thought this was a new “tales of” series when I read the title.

[@hamez877]

I was expecting a new tales of game

[@lucascoval828]

Would've been better.

[@Abyss_26]

I opened 21 packs and didn't get a legendary please I have been supporting your game for 3+ years please If you have any decency give me an Heirloom I cant play anymore If i dont get one

[@SnugglesPrime]

Don't worry, EA Originals also has It Takes Two and Unravel.

[@thevaultoverseer]

Haha dude used his acting skill to try to guilt trip people into buying this slop. Now he is doing it again on twitter, using Jusssie Smolett tactics.

I'll judge this game on the content of its gameplay, not the color of its skin.

[@speedforce8970]

Who asked? He certainly didn't. He didn't even mention his skin color. Also, the gameplay looked amazing.

[@flykespice]

Ironic because you are judging the game by the color of his skin

"The sheer amounts of based........"

It's actually very low to use your dead dad as a marketing tool for your subpar platformer.

[@tolu619]

So if I am inspired by my dad's memories, I shouldn't say so? The game's story is literally about a guy trying to get his dad back from the god of death. He shouldn't mention the story and what inspired the story?
