The immensely fun looking Yooka-Laylee is due for release in a few months and some backers of the 3D platformer opted to go for the Wii U version over the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, as we know the Wii U version was recently canceled in favour of a Nintendo Switch version so many will be wondering when they can transfer their purchase over. Well, the team at Playtonic have announced that they will be able to do just that at the end of the month. So have no fear you’ll be able to switch to the Nintendo Switch version soon if you backed the game.
Yooka-Laylee: Wii U Backers Will Be Able To Switch To Switch Version At End Of Month
awesome!
And play the Switch version by the end of the next year.
Probably will face some technical difficulties, as in “we technically don’t want to work on it anymore”.
from what i understand, it’s relatively easy to develop for the switch. If they do say that again, people will know they’re full of it.
And since Switch supports Unity (Yooka-Laylee’s engine) then it should in theory be even easier to port it there.
If you’re just going to pout and cry about their business decision then why don’t you go and make it yourself?
I could care less.
This is pretty much the reason I do not kickstart.
If they were going to screw their backers over, at least they should have been upfront about it.
I purchased this on Steam and I might purchase it on PS4 too just to give these developers the support they deserve.
I can’t put into words how eager I am to start playing this game.
shame it’s not actually Banjo though. :/
Dont forget your girl Grunty the rhyming Witch wont come to the Switch. How sad I have a replacement, no more Grunty Industries talking from the basement.
Grunty Industries was just an abomination. I know I for one do NOT miss that stage AT ALL, good riddance to it I say.
Good riddance to it you say, Im so sorry that stage didnt make your day. Hopfully Yooka-Laylee wont get delayed so you can play all day
Not really it’s nice to see new characters get their chance at shining. As much as I enjoyed the Banjo games Yooka Laylee looks a lot nicer to me but that said I just hope we don’t end up disappointed with it.
Im glad to see this Pokemon, interested in Yooka-Laylee until it’s done. Hehehehe
But what if they don’t want a Switch? Just because they had a Wii U doesn’t mean they are going to get one. They should have the option to change it to any platform.
Not 100% sure, but I think they actually have. Plus the option to get their money back.
No update on refunds yet.
Does anyone know if they already confirmed whether there will be a physical Switch version?
I didn’t back it (money constraints at the time), but I’ll gladly get this game once it arrives.
Now, PC or Switch version?
If you preordered the switch then go for the switch version.
I personally think a Banjo Kazooie successor needs to be played on a Nintendo console. That’s just me, though.
same but i really want to play this day 1
i might be retarded and just get it on both switch and pc because i hate money
Hahaha! Don’t worry, man. I was thinking about doing the same thing.
As if that makes a difference.
It doesn’t really, but I dunno. It’s just the principal, maybe…? I don’t know.
I would go wth pc.
If you have a laptop that can handle gaming, this is probably a difficult choice for you to make since both a gaming laptop & a Switch have the ability to either be played portable or on your television since most TVs allow you to use it as a bigger screen for computers.
Nah, I only have a dedicated desktop PC- my laptop is pretty much dead, overheating from something as simple as Bejeweled. :/
PS4 or Switch. Decisions, decisions.
Ps4
Switch. You can play it on the go.
||Well if you aren’t going to buy even this weapon for the Switch, then people shouldn’t blame Nintendo for lack of third class weaponry when the same people don’t buy them in the end…||
Considering Playtonic said that Yooka-Laylee’s development was focused on PC and Wii U at first, I would hope that they try to add something to the Switch version.
||Like?…||
But can i switch the switch version to switch from the switch and switch into switches
Great now they just need to tell us about REFUNDS.
