We just reported that Yooka-Laylee has finally been granted a release date on the Nintendo Switch and will be arriving on December 14th. IGN reports that the colourful 3D platformer will run at 900p in docked mode, and 600p in handheld mode. The site also says that the team over at Playtonic have worked directly with Nintendo and Unity to optimise the Nintendo Switch version of the game.
Yooka-Laylee On Nintendo Switch Runs At 900p Docked And 600p In Handheld Mode
Good. I’ll take 900p 60fps over 1080p 30fps any day of the week
I believe it runs at 30fps.
Oof, if that’s true I might just get it on PC. I can deal with 30fps but not in a platform like this
C’mon dude, I’m sure you played Banjo Kazooie on N64 (30fps) without any issues.
A bit dissapointed if it runs at 30 fps
question how would ign know the switch does not even have the thing open to the public yet
Looking at how it looks and knowing that it’s not a 1st party title it only can run at 30fps. How many not-sop-bad-looking games have there been so far running at 1080p/60fps?
Mario’s Odyssey might look way better while also running at 60fps, but in the end it’s done by the same guys who crafted its hardware. YL is running on Unity and looks way better/more demanding than for instance RiME which runs pretty bad.
So if it can hold 30fps, that would be fine for me.
Some sites are reporting 900p 60 fps. So who knows..
Pretty doubtful. PS4 and Xbox One were 1080p 30fps, don’t see why Switch would get better framerate than the more powerful systems, especially considering how much harder it was for them to even get the game running on the Switch.
It isn’t specified at what FPS it run the game.
I completely forgot about this game.
And I completely remember people hated it. XP
Most people thought it was mediocre. Same a Banjo like game couldn’t make a come back.
Well some worked, some didn’t. Gunvolt is the new Megaman while Bloodstained is the new Castlevania and The Evil Within is the new Resident Evil. XP
Resident Evil did alright with its last attempt.
Resident Evil 7?
Jupp, Biohazard.
Nope, still Resident Evil to me. RE7 did okay but I rather have 4-6 remaster on Switch now.
It’s name it’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, while in Japan it’s Biohazard 7: Resident Evil.
Which is confusingly stupid to say the least. Just stick with one fucking name Crapcom. XP
It’s just a fun touch to me. But they got to stop it there xP
It’s stylized where the subtitle is not capitalized. So it should be Resident Evil: biohazard or Biohazard: resident evil.
In Norwegian the only capital letter in a title is the first letter, and only the first letter. Much easier.
I’d say both A Hat in Time and Super Mario Odyssey were pretty successful Banjo-like games.
I forgot about A Hat in Time. I also wanted to try out Cuphead.
According to Wikipedia, it’s only available on Microsoft Windows & Xbox One right now.
And according to there previous public announcement, they’re expressing on releasing their games to other platforms. They should and kill the Xbox for good.
Just to be sure but you do know Micro neither developed nor published this game, right?
Cool about the Super Mario World tune.
Shit! Cuphead, I mean!
Them too. I wanna see it on the Switch. You know one of the game’s tunes is actually inspired from Super Mario World?
Hmm… I wonder if will release alongside a gameplay update like it was rumored back when the Switch version was announced. I’m still getting this regardless (unless the port has big issues).
That game should be like a mini game inside the Mario oddys :P

i will take Maroddy thx :P
On second thought, I should skip this. I heard way too many disappointing news about this and the fact the game performance is a bit lackluster, I’ll just avoid this one.
I don’t know how much more they’ve could have done with it, but 30FPS no thanks.
They seriously called this “hard work” for the Switch port? YKW? Let this game die out. It’s another Mighty No.9
It had performance issues on PS4 and especially on Xbox One. Even though they claim it wasn’t them who ported it.
Yup, I’m skipping this one.
I was stupid enough to back it on Kickstarters. Got it for 10£ + promise of all DLC’S for free.
I rather have/buy that new game called “Super Lucky’s Tale” on Switch than Yooka-Laylee
I’ve played alot of Super Lucky’s Tale and it got real charm. It really surprised me.
Sad that Yooka-Laylee gets the hype, then turned into another Mighty No. 9 disappointment while this random gem gets praises. XP
Super Lucky’s Tale is just one the wrong platform. Xbox. If it was on Switch it would do real well.
Which is why they’ll probably go multiplatform.
It’s published by Microsoft Studios so if it does show up on other platforms, it might take a while.
Something tells me they’ll green light it on Nintendo/PC eventually. Sony, I’m not sure but I don’t give a fuck if they don’t get it. XP
It’s a “Play Anywhere”-title so it’s already on PC. Yeah, I think Nintendo will have it before Sony, to put it mildly xD The first game was an VR-title and second was Xbox “console exclusive”. Anythings possible with Lucky’s Tale I guess, but MS has had a lot of fire for not having enough exclusives, so they might keep it a while.
Nobody cares, nobody wants this.
I already 100% complete the game on steam. I was hoping for more potential, but it is what it is.
If this game’s release on Switch is a vast improvement from it’s initial release on PS4 & Xbox One, people might want to get this game within the next several months. ESPECIALLY if they want PlayTonic to support the Switch in the years to come. I’m sure once these former Rare guys get into the full swing of making good games again, the Switch can’t risk not having these guys support it.
Well, Switch got Nintendo and Sega + every freakin’ indie with their platformers out there — heck even EA comes with a platformer. I don’t think it’s going to be that bad if SCAMtonic don’t want to support Switch: which I know they’re going to.
Backed this game for WiiU, was superexcited when they announced not to bring it to the WiiU but the Switch, as I had already preordered the Switch back then and knew it’s an additional game for a portable console. Now FINALLY that baby’s coming home.
I don’t care that much about reviews and will just try to get the best out of it. I played the toybox (a demo that was available before launch) and at this already brought some nostalgia up, so maybe the BK-vibe can help tolerating it’s shortcomings. In the end I already paid for it anyways and will ba able to play it on 14th in any case. Pretty excited :)
