In the same Nintendo Life interview with the New Super Lucky's Tale development team, the game's creative director Dan Hurd revealed Playful was open to the idea of a sequel and even had some unused ideas he would like to put to use one day:
We even had some early prototypes where Lucky had like a companion character, there's something I would still like to do there at some point, I think we got too complicated with it, but there's a really cool opportunity for that if we go into like a sequel or something from this title and those are the types of things I immediately look to.
If a follow-up game was to go ahead, according to Dan it would have to "shake-up" the experience by offering something fundamentally new, rather than an experience that was more of the same:
How do we further refine the core of what we love about this, but really shake-up other pieces of that make it feel fresh and invigorating. I would probably like it a little less if it just didn't add that much to the core experience, cause then why am I spending time with it - I want our players to really experience something fundamentally new by the inclusion of that, so that's kind of the high bar we've set...for new moves or new characters, they kind of must add that breath of fresh air of the way you experience and approach the game.

Sure, why not. Pretty good (light hearted) game
@PBandSmelly Conker reboot would be great.
I'm really enjoying the demo. This is what I was hoping Yooka Laylee would be.
With Super Lucky’s Tale, Cuphead, and Ori all coming to the Switch (presumably to find a fan base that wasn’t really existent on the XB1), it’ll be interesting to see if the XBox brand will continue to try to widen the variety of genres on it’s next console with exclusives in this style, or will move back to concentrating on the sorts of games people normally play on Xbox like FPS, Sports and Realistic Racing.
I’m unsure of the quality of Super Lucky’s Tale, but it does seem to fit on the Switch far better than how it stuck out like a sore thumb on the Xbox.
Finally he's gonna have two tails. Sorry, tales.
Rumours suggest that Lucky’s companion...... will be a blue hedgehog
Nice! Here is a suggestion for a sequel: make it harder. At least the last levels, secret areas, I don't know haha, but it's the worst thing about this game. Maybe a difficulty selector? Whatever, but we need more challenge!
It´s an awesome game, though. So much fun and charming. I really can´t wait for a sequel.
I loved Super Lucky's Tale on the Xbox One, I love New Super Lucky's Tale on the Switch even more, and I would love (love, love, love) for there to be a sequel! ^_^
Yes please. The game has found its natural home so let's see the little guy develop. Loving the game – visuals are superb in both dock and undocked. From a technical pov, it looks far better than A Hat in Time and the hot blurry mess that is the Crash Trilogy on Switch (which are still fun).
We need to support the developers that treat the platform seriously and port games properly. This game looks like it was designed specifically for Switch (even though it wasn't). That's impressive.
In terms of difficulty I've heard it's about right if you go for 100%, whereas just completing the main game doesn't do the whole experience justice. To me that sounds fine.
@MrGawain I think that this whole Microsoft/Nintendo collar has been in service of exposing Japanese gamers to Microsoft properties.
And apparently it has worked with Cuphead and Banjo so far!!!
I'd be up for that. Played it on pc with gamepass a few months ago. It isn't mind-blowing but if you want a cheerful, fun platformer that runs smooth then go for it. I would personally give it around an 8/10. I even went and bought the dlc for it lol
This game is so much better than I (and most others, it seems) expected. They really put in a lot of work fixing the game up from its original release.
I’m all in. Build a fanbase on Switch.
@JHDK YES! New Super Lucky's Tale is exactly what I wanted Yooka-Laylee to be as well. That game was terribly disappointing. NSLT on the other hand? I have played the demo like four times and practically can't wait for Thursday when I can buy the game.
Definitely want a sequel after finishing the trials in Foxington and seeing (spoiler) Lucas (I'm assuming) freeing Jinx and the kitty litter!
