Nintendo UK Interview: Playtonic Games brings Yooka-Laylee to Nintendo Switch

Yooka-Laylee is out now on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, allowing you to enjoy classic old-school platforming anytime, anywhere! It’s filled with huge, beautiful worlds to explore and an unforgettable case of characters to interact with. You can gear up with up to four Joy-Con controllers for some multiplayer madness too*!

We had the opportunity to catch up with Gavin Price, Managing Director & Creative Lead at Playtonic Games, to discuss the colourful platformer and its arrival on Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo UK: Yooka Laylee was clearly a passion project for the team at Playtonic. What elements of the game are you most proud of and why?

Gavin Price: We’re really proud of what we accomplished, especially as a small indie team. There’s a huge amount of content and variety in Yooka-Laylee, whether you’re chatting with oddball characters, battling hulking bosses, taking on minecart challenges, arcade games, quiz shows, multiplayer games…and much more!

Since release on other platforms, the Playtonic team personally handled development on Nintendo Switch and spent many months adding significant optimisations and dozens of game updates to ensure that this version of Yooka-Laylee really is the bee’s knees. We think our fans on Nintendo Switch will be pleased!
