Current Events > Tembo the Badass Elephant (That other GameFreak game) is underrated

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember not liking it back when it first came out, but playing it again, I actually really liked how they designed it. It's somewhere between a Sonic the Hedgehog style platformer and a runner

huh, kinda reminds me of the Rampage games. I played a lot of Rampage: World Tour as a kid

it was a very tough game to 100%.

I will always find it hilarious that the only reason it didn't see a Wii U release was because James Turner couldn't fit the Wii U logo on the presentation slide during the project proposal.

Alright, I was posting that from memory, and I may have exaggerated it just a bit:

When I was writing the presentation documents for this game, I drew a mockup poster, and I put the Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox logos at the bottom. It seemed to fit, and it happened to stick that way. We thought about other hardware during development, but our hands were pretty full with those three platforms!
