A rare game
In a post-Super Mario Odyssey world, the bar has been set even higher for 3D platformers. How, then, can a game like Yooka-Laylee stack up - a game so firmly focused on the past rather than the future? Though it may not quite hit the heights of some contemporaries, Yooka-Laylee still stands as a fantastic modern take on 3D platforming...
About The Game
Explore huge, beautiful worlds, meet (and beat) an unforgettable cast of characters and horde a vault-load of shiny collectibles as buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the wisecracking bat with the big nose).
Embark on an epic adventure to thwart corporate creep Capital B and his devious scheme to absorb all the world’s books...and convert them into pure profit!
Using their arsenal of special moves, our heroes will tackle a huge variety of puzzles and platforming challenges in their search for Pagies, the golden bounty used to unlock – and expand – stunning new worlds, each jammed to the gills with oddball characters, hulking bosses, minecart challenges, arcade games, quiz shows, multiplayer games and much more!
Get ready for the full Yooka-Laylee experience, with all the updates, including the much requested camera and voice patch! Gear up with up to four Joy-Con controllers for some multiplayer madness in Rextro's Arcade.

When is it out for the switch?
December 14, 2017
I am sorry but this game is rubbish! What made it that way for me were the controls, they are absolute garbage! I wanted to throw the controller through the tv. I was pretty disappointed that a game couldn't get the most fundamental thing right. Especially after playing Odyssey. You'd think something like this would have been fixed. Extremely disappointing.
The only thing good about this game is the music.
At least my 5 yr old likes it..... 😒
@SMB_FANBOI what were your issues with the controls? I found that i would get frustrated a bit when using the joycons (particularly when jumping and attempting to double jump) but that issue was completely non existent when I used the pro controller. I think they submitted a patch for the joy con controllers as well
@ltrosson They felt very choppy and were not as smooth as I would have expected (like Odyssey was). The movement of the character it seemed like it was over compensating, which made you miss jumping on a platform or rock because you'd be going to fast. Ya, it could very well be the controller, I don't have a pro controller, so that may have been it.
(ahem)
Yooka-Laylee was a game that had it's heart in the right place but ultimately failed due to outdated level design and overhyped expectations.
Great game from a great company. Those who criticize aspects of its gameplay perhaps don't fully recall the perils of the late 90's 3D platformer — the "headaches" are a small part of the fun!
Can't wait for the Impossible Lair!
Cool game, I think I saw something similar to https://www.nightrush.info/ . I like playing games in online casinos more because it has the opportunity not only to enjoy the game, but also to win money.
