What these critics fail to realize is that we live in a world where virtually every game now is an open world shooty shooty bang fest with guns. Introducing Yooka-Laylee in the the gaming industry would be like placing a time bomb there as i bet most of these critics don't even know what a collecto-thon puzzle platformer is. Thus the low score. And have you noticed they all refer to Banjo. Sure they games pretty much the successor to it but others have come and gone too.
@Xaessya you really don't wish you could. It runs really bad and isn't optimized at all for the Switch. The game makes us look like we're using really under powered hard ware
@DarkKirby Thanks Kirby. I did watch the video and it's interesting really. Kinda shows a side to Shiggy i never knew. I know Nintendo like control in the games being made on their systems but wasn't sure Shiggy had that much of a say and how much some say he was a pain to work with.
@Sanicranfast That was when the team was known as DMA. Before they was bought out by Gremlin and then further down the line Take2. You know they used the bases of body Harvest (sandbox) style in GTA3. Back o subject though. I doubt any of the DMA staff are with the Current Rockstar. Though quote me if I'm wrong. I could well be lol.
@Sanicranfast But they still went onto making GTA Chinatown Wars, Earthworm Jim 3D, Monster Truck Madness 64, Smuggler's Run: Warzones, Bully: Scholarship Edition, Manhunt 2, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis, Austin Powers: Oh, Behave!, Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair!, Evel Knievel, Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto 2, Max Payne, Grand Theft Auto Advance, So the relationship can't be that much soured to continue to make for Nintendo systems across the board. Only one they left out was the U.
One thing that strikes me about this "Laura was asked if there was the possibility of Red Dead Redemption 2 or Overwatch coming to the Switch. Regarding Red Dead, she stated that there's almost no way it's going to happen due to Rockstar's relationship with Nintendo" What relationship? Also Rockstar have made games for Nintendo before. ALSO Take2 Own Rockstar and are listed in the 3rd party support. If Take2 say jump. Rockstar has to say how high? I think with what she has listed is like a dartboard effect. Sure, you may miss sometimes but eventually you will hit something.
@Mart1ndo Not playing the victim. Also about decent consoles. Here's what i own for the record.2DS, Nes, N64, Wii U, PSOne, PS3 PS4 and a fairly high end gaming PC. Reason I wanted the U version is it's my choice of console i like to play on.
Bet our buddy Phil Spencer is behind this. He's always like the Wii U. Shame Nintendo all to forget about their child. They seem to treat it as a mistake/one night stand.
£7.99 seems like a fair deal to me. It's funny people moaning about the price are probably the same people that wait outside of an Apple store waiting for the latest £700 phone every year.
If it comes to switch around the same time as the other versions then sure why not. But if it comes out 6 months after all the other versions whats the point as dev will say the switch version didnt sell. Saw this last time with games coming out late
If what Eurogamer are reporting is true. The this is a massive letdown. Seen it a few times in the past when the devs promise this and that only to be told close to the last minute "Haha no U version for you" From what I've seen around 70% of the backers where Wii U owners. Talk about a kick in the neutered area for Wii U gamers. If this don't get a switch release then I'm done with kickstarters.
@SanderEvers In that case i retract my statement. Though i will always have respect for Iwata. This is new news to me. They say you learn something new each day. Thanks for the info
@SanderEvers I wasn't aware of this. If this was the case he went back on his word. Though to be honest. I really don't see that happening. Then again i could be wrong. Money talks after all.
This quote comes to mind with me from a certain Satoru Iwata RIP
“If we did this, Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo. Having a hardware development team in-house is a major strength. It’s the duty of management to make use of those strengths. It’s probably the correct decision in the sense that the moment we started to release games on smartphones we’d make profits. However, I believe my responsibility is not to short term profits, but to Nintendo’s mid and long term competitive strength.”

Just ask Laura Kate Dale. She "seems to know" everything regarding the switch so far
Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
Honestly what makes anything Laura Kate say gospel? She could probably say Switch has 20 Terraflops and people would believe it.

Re: More Nintendo Switch Rumours Emerge Online
@yomanation Mines just an opinion like everyone else though it helps to have backup when called out on certain things

Refuse to back Kickstarters. Devs always lie. No point in saying you will support something only to drop it.

Re: Rumour: Yooka-Laylee Might Be Releasing in April
I don't think the U version will be axed. I think that between that and BOTW. Either game with be a perfect swansong to send the U off.
