Nintendo Switch owners will receive a special gift in time for the holidays: Yooka-Laylee! As someone who backed the game, let me be the first to say it’s about time.

Gamers who backed the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter campaign were annoyed (and rightfully so) when the news hit that the Wii U version of the game had been cancelled and that it was being ported over to the Nitendo Switch. Then, they were given even more bad news when Playtonic announced that the Switch version’s release date had been pushed back. But, now the wait is (almost) over, as Playtonic has just revealed the Switch version of the game will finally be available on December 14th.

According to the post, Playtonic has spent several months optimizing Yooka-Laylee and even received technical help from Nintendo and Unity. Switch owners will be able to use the JoyCon controllers to play the multiplayer games, and Yooka-Laylee should function both docked and on the go (I still don’t understand why The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can’t manage this). Moreover, the Nintendo Switch version will come with a “custom Achievement system” as well as all the quality of life patches and updates that have been added to the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions of the game since launch.

While most critics and gamers liked Yooka-Laylee, many complained about camera and performance issues and a general lack of polish. While these have been ironed out in the patches, we do not know how well the game will run on the Nintendo Switch. The console has received its fair share of ports, including DOOMThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and L. A. Noire, but the performance for these games has been fairly hit and miss. Only time will tell if the Switch version of Yooka-Laylee plays flawlessly or if it flounders about. Who knows, maybe the Switch version could be the definitive version of the game?

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
