Yet Another Game Seemingly Confirmed for Switch 2 Console

Yet Another Game Seemingly Confirmed for Switch 2 Console

Key Takeaways

  • Yooka-Laylee remaster Yooka-Replaylee has seemingly been confirmed for the Switch 2.
  • The game’s latest trailer features logos for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and instead of the Switch, it simply shows a Nintendo logo.
  • Developer Playtonic confirmed this isn’t a mistake, jokingly saying that Yooka-Replaylee is coming to the Nintendo Alarmo clock.

As a seasoned Nintendo enthusiast with memories of waiting in line for the original release of the Gameboy etched into my DNA, the news of Yooka-Replaylee coming to the Switch 2 has me more excited than a Pikmin at a fruit festival!


It appears that Yooka-Laylee might be arriving on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, a possibility suggested in the game’s recent trailer.

For the next five months, Nintendo has approximately five months left within the announced timeframe to unveil the Switch 2. While some whispers hinted at October 2024 as the launch date, with the month almost over, this timeline seems increasingly unlikely. In the interim, certain game developers have already verified titles for the upcoming Switch 2.

Recently, Playtonic Games, a British game studio, unveiled a console trailer for their remastered game Yooka-Laylee. The 100-second video ended with the platforms that the game will be on, which include the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo’s logo, but not the Switch. This seems to indicate that the platformer game, Yooka-Replaylee, might be aimed at the next version of the Switch console instead. Playtonic Games clarified that this was no error; they jokingly stated that Yooka-Replaylee will be available on Nintendo’s newly launched alarm clock!

Nintendo Switch 2 Already Has Several Confirmed Games

Hey there! As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got to say, even though Nintendo’s next game console is yet to make an appearance, the list of games confirmed for it just keeps expanding. The latest addition to this lineup is “My Time at Evershine,” which Pathea has announced will be gracing the screens of the Switch 2. Once Nintendo officially unveils their long-awaited console, we can expect more juicy details about this game to follow. Can’t wait!

Prior to this, it was announced back in late February 2024 that the role-playing game resembling Persona, Bestiario, would also be available for the Switch 2. This announcement came shortly after numerous reports suggesting that Nintendo had pushed back the release of the Switch 2’s successor to 2025. Both Bestiario and My Time at Evershine were confirmed for this new device during their Kickstarter campaigns. Given the widespread speculation that the Switch 2 might be backward compatible, it’s expected that its launch library won’t suffer from a lack of titles, even if it struggles to gain early support from third-party developers.

Fans have been speculating for most of the year about when the new device will be revealed, and we might get some clues during Nintendo’s investor call on November 5. But it remains uncertain if they’ll offer substantial details regarding the Switch 2 during that call. The console is not expected to go on sale before the second quarter of 2025 at the very least.
