The Mascot Platformer Is Back - Kao the Kangaroo on Switch

[@EnigmaticGentleman]

Its been so nice to see my favorite genre gradually returning, my eyes are personally on Clive n Wrench!

[@gordonchen9533]

I'm glad you filmed this. During the announcement, I was confused and it looked generic. But seeing this playthrough, I'm now interested in this game.

[@walkintobrickwallsfordays8756]

It's got a bug that destorys your save file

[@tdotran]

I’ll be adding this to my wishlist.

I really want to play it. As soon as the developers release the needed patches

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

Yeah same.

[@denycast]

@@TheLonelyGoomba I looked at the developers twitter, and it seems like a patch is on the way. On steam it is already released 👍

[@b00psn00t]

This game looks fun might be a great way to introduce my lil bro to 3D platformers

[@kaofee]

I'll buy it solely for the fact that it shares my name

[@knuclear200x]

You're name is Kangaroo? Kool.👍

[@t-elijahmorrison6855]

Kao the Kangaroo is a platform video game developed and published by Tate Multimedia was released in May 2022 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

Not familiar this series but it looks like it was made for me 😍 love that 3d platformers are having such a comeback!!

[@aqlandmirrorvideogamerandc2983]

It's so good to see someone enjoying kao the kangaroo. It's got some glitches but hopefully they will be soon fixed. A patch is supposed to be coming to fix the auto save problem. Can't wait to play this game once I get my physical copies.

[@StephenDickerman]

Alex, do you know if they have fixed the save bug that some people have mentioned in the comments?

[@vinnyvanhoe5614]

A Duke nukem reference?? Man this is nostalgia incarnate and I've never played Kao

[@bravacentauri3118]

It's a They Live/Roddy Piper reference!

[@the_car_guy_30]

I need help with something my Nintendo screen turned blue and won't do anything can you help please

[@johntziannis1134]

I heard the game is glitchy and some people have had to restart the level.. I hope they will patch this up soon!!

[@DJTS1991]

I returned the game the day after I got it due to the autosave bug. I was so disappointed because it's such a fun game.

[@tacoman6697]

I mean, games can be updated in this day and age, and the devs have already confirmed the patch is on its way. So I guess if you want, you could go pick it up again and start playing once the patch is out.

[@DJTS1991]

@@tacoman6697 Patch came out and went back and grabbed it lol

[@ForFaSkillz]

I also heard of this back in the day and never got round to playing it 🙈, watching the first 8 mins or so the moves reminded me of jax and daxter ,thanks for playing this will definitely get this,looks fun 😁😁

[@richardaaron4454]

So is the related to the Atari/Arcade game named Kangaroo? Or no?

[@linkvagar2336]

Not, it is a reboot of a platformer series that first released on the Dreamcast

[@maccaplays6921]

This game looks awesome also a good game is super lucky tales!

[@shepherdb0y]

I enjoyed watching Alex have fun :)

[@Pat12379]

Wait what hapend to crash

[@robsmall6466]

Okay NL. I'm calling you out on this ( and not for the first time ). 7 out of 10 and yet YOU do not report on the save bug. You know. The one that breaks the game. Are you actually playing these games or are you just running commercials for companies? This IS NOT good enough. Magic review copy again is it? Or are we YET AGAIN ( like on Push Square ) trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the paying customer. Are we going to have a Kate Grey excuse that you don't get enough time to thoroughly play the games you review but it's ok because NL are paid to do it and don't have to part with REAL money? I've read many of your reviews over the years across all three of your affiliated sites. Regularly are technical problems brushed under the carpet. After pressure in the comment section there has been slight change. Even so you need to take a hard look at yourselves as your no better than some of the dodgy influencers that inhabit KZbin

[@TheDreadedZero]

There’s a gamebreaking glitch that doesn’t save your progress later in the game so unless they fix that this game is a must avoid

[@pencilcheck]

what glitch? what??

[@Yannis280]

yeah i've heard about this, haven't they fixed this yet?

[@TheDreadedZero]

@@Yannis280 nope

[@Yannis280]

well oof im gonna hold out on this for the time being..

[@walkintobrickwallsfordays8756]

@@TheDreadedZero I doubt they care about fixing the game if they are spending the money they have getting youtubers to advertise it

[@MarcoMartinsM]

I played this game for over 20 hours now, and I should say there are a few bugs, it doesn't make it unplayable, but the experience is less enjoyable.

[@matthewcienki8064]

Dunkaroos snacks references?

[@GundamWarrior1]

Looks like my comment got deleted. LOL. I just asked if the game stilled had glitches.

[@legendofgood4278]

Waiting on physical

[@knuclear200x]

I love how "the highest-selling current gen console's" version is just 30fps

[@denisruskin348]

Which is horrid for a platformer. Luckily the Steam Deck exists.

[@the_old_crimge74]

Are you guys going to do at least a reaction to the latest Pokemon trailer?

[@liamcrowley164]

Don’t bother unti the patch - my save got reverted from the end of the 3rd world back to the second level because of the bug 😩

[@SkajOjebt]

That is not true, The game is perfect, No bugs, you cant spred fake news on The internet

[@SwitchUpYt]

@@SkajOjebt huh!? It’s got a save bug that breaks the save games and reverts you to square one.

[@Nintendofan91]

It’s not a platformer if you don’t spend your first 10 minutes trying to break the game lol

[@lapisrabbitcomics]

Ya gonna e-beg for someone to buy you a copy of this game?

[@jordanschyches2572]

The game has a VERY well documented game breaking bug!! Your fake “I’ve gone in blind” is absolutely a lie. You should have told them to shove it, this is absolutely disingenuous.

[@Fifth313ment]

I always expect Alex to go into showing famous million dollar homes for some reason? 🤔 Alex is definitely the only reason I still come to NL as they become extremely woke and political over the past few years. I also miss Jon. God bless ya Alex, keep it up!

[@b00psn00t]

I think you just invalidated yourself by using the phrase “Woke and political”. I’d be curious to know what you mean by that
