Hey everyone,

I've been working on a Wii U port of Lighthouse, the Banjo-Kazooie PC port.

The goal is to bring Lighthouse to the Wii U while keeping the improvements and features from the PC version, along with some additional features of my own.

Current features​

  • Wii U port
  • 60 FPS support
  • Upscaling
  • Multiplayer co-op implemented
  • Randomizer support

Multiplayer Co-op​

One of the main features is multiplayer co-op.

The basic co-op functionality is already implemented, allowing two players to play Banjo-Kazooie together. (Including cross-platform, YES YOU CAN PLAY PC AND WII U TOGETHER)

There is still testing and polishing to do, but the core functionality is working.

Randomizer​

The port also supports a randomizer.

This allows different elements of the game to be randomized, making each playthrough potentially different and giving the game more replayability.

60 FPS and Upscaling​

The port supports 60 FPS and upscaling, taking advantage of what the Wii U hardware can do while keeping the original look and feel of Banjo-Kazooie.

About the Project​

To clarify, this isn't a port made directly from the original N64 game.

Lighthouse is already a PC port of Banjo-Kazooie, and this project is a port of Lighthouse to Wii U.

So the work is focused on adapting Lighthouse and its systems to the Wii U hardware while adding and improving features along the way.

Still a work in progress

yes its online and has cross play with the PC version just press select on the controller go to multiplayer and make sure both players have the same roomID
 
Awesome, I can't wait to see how the project progresses. I'm already testing it and it works really well, although I didn't remember the underwater controls of banjo kazooie being so weird lol, Isn't there a way to reverse the underwater controls?

yeah i was aiming for a more "modern" controll scheme for swimming and flying, i'll add an option to revert the underwater controlls back to normal.

The online mode is just the normal game in co-op: all major items are shared, and consumables are separate for each player.
