Maybe it's just taking a bit longer given the scope of the game and the amount of changes/additions in the Switch version.
we're nearing the end of a console generation, and i can't believe we're actually celebrating that a game this simple is running at 60fps.
yay for this game, but overall it's just a sad state of where we are in console gaming.

Yeah I have been waiting for that one. Seems like it would be a great comparison, from resolution, textures, draw distance, geometry, post processing...
You know. What we expect from DF.
I'm actually quite happy with the current state of console gaming. I can play 4K HDR games (at 30 or 60fps) on consoles now. Last generation I struggled to get stable 30fps with 720p and blurry antialiasing with the PS3 and 360.
I know what you mean with 60fps, but we HAVE seen a lot of improvements in this generation alone.
Me too, but they're not obligated to look at any specific games. They've been pretty busy lately and with Overwatch and The Witcher 3 coming soon they have other, higher profile games that will take priority.
That much is clear just from how good it looks on switch. For this type of game, it just makes sense for the switch version to have been the lead version anyway (something that hopefully the bloodstained team keep in mind for their next game!).
I completely understand that. They have a limited staff. BUT, Dragon Quest Switch vs PS4 was...quite big for it to be skipped dont you think?
There are multiple youtube channels that provide side by sides, but none have the mature narration and level of expertise that DF shows so Im just sayng I would still really like to see the comparison.
I think it's more that the previous game wasn't 60fps on consoles and was a little rough here and there.
Glad to see that this game is basically perfect everywhere.
I will gladly buy the physical version on Switch.

I'd love to do it but September was insane, next week is EGX and there's just a lot happening. The timing was bad and I didn't have the time to make it happen even though I love the game! Haven't tried it on Switch yet, though, beyond the demo.
I completely understand. I still want to see it but I know you have other priorities. Thanks for all the hard work btw, there is a reason I crave for content from you and the others at DF.
Okay, because I was trying to order at base.com but I couldn't find it.
That's really high praise! I'm excited to play it now then - won't wait for a sale, I'm in the mood for a good platformer and since Doom got delayed, there's even budget :P
That and the dev's comment about "we don't know yet if there's anything we can do"
I don't want to dismiss this with the typical lazy dev rhetoric .. but .. can't help but see this as an incredibly disappointing effort from the developer.
They use Unity, its a wonder that this game runs as smooth as is does.
Nice analysis as always from DF, really love their channel.
The lower resolution is a bit apparent even in handheld, but the game plays so nice, it's a good "clone" of DK.
Dark1x thanks for everyone's work and keep it up! Hopefully you get the chance to check GRID eventually as it's an amazing game.

Never played the first one but heard mixed reviews and I never even knew there was a sequel but this looks damn fun. I may get it.
It literally shows, "Yooka-Laylee 2" on the video but even if it didn't, it's a continuation of the franchise unless it's full reboot, it's a sequel.
Ha, yeah, that '2' is just my short hand for the file name.
I see. So is this not considered a sequel to the first one? Is it a reboot?
Just got this on Switch. Can't wait to play it tomorrow!
Not only is it a good port, it sounds like an amazing port! I couldn't not support this, even if I didn't get to finish the first (yet).

Good to see that Playtonic improved the polishing for their second game. I guess it can only go forward for them in this case. ^^
Man, this really makes me want to get one of those cables ... but last time i checked they were really expensive.

Get the new mclassic. It's as good / better with more option (on/off)
i paid 69bucks as an early bird. Now it's 89. Still cheaper and better than the mcable
It always hurts a bit knowing there's a Switch revision out there that theoretically should be able to manage higher undocked clocks.
In theory, you wouldn't even need the revision to gain more performance undocked. It's always been an issue of power efficiency, battery life and heat.
That dongle? Thanks, will look into it, though i would consider 90 bucks for a dongle somewhat expensive, too. ^^
Ah, I see - would that I could order there, but they don't ship to Germany it seems.
Really? pretty sure they are supposed to ship to entire europe. Didnt know they excluded Germany... They ship to Sweden (2£ per item) so it's very cheap as well.
I'll check again - Germany wasn't on the list of countries during the checkout though. Maybe they are already preparing for Brexit with that?
Yep, Germany is sadly not on the list: https://www.thegamecollection.net/help/delivery/destinations/
Btw. might not be the best thread to ask, but i wonder if DF could add those MCable/Dongle to their tests. Games benefit from those in a varying degree, so it might be nice if they could give impression on that.
What do you expect, after our Kraut-Chancellor scolded best guy Johnson via phone for no reason!
(Sarcasm, if not obvious enough.)

Just read the summary but was it stated whether or not a Pro patch even exists?
I can't stand that big USK logo on the front box. I'll gladly pay for a little shipping and even take into account that shipping takes a little longer if I can circumvent that any time. It's a small thing, but one that really gets me - if I pay for a physical edition of something (BluRay, Vinyl, Games), I wanna enjoy the Artwork too and the USK is just destroying that left and right for me.
