We normally wouldn't be covering much Yooka-Replaylee here on EventHubs, except for the fact that fans have quickly pointed out some peculiar hints that seem to suggest the game is coming to a Nintendo console other than the Switch.This updated version of the platformer is headed to the powerful PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. It's also headed to a noticeably nondescript "Nintendo" as we see in this final, informative image of the trailer. Instead of the usual "Nintendo Switch" text and logo, we simply get a standard Nintendo logo with Cappy eyes suggesting there's more to be looked into here:Click images for larger versionsPlaytonic pushes this hint further in their X post, once again drawing attention (this time via eye emoji) to the console-less Nintendo amid a list of otherwise clarified platforms:<blockquote>As well as PC, Yooka-Replaylee WILL be on PS5, Xbox Series and... Nintendo 👀 Peep the latest trailer to get a look at some gorgeous 3D-platforming, new gameplay and beautiful ORCHESTRAL music 😍 Wishlist it now! Wishlist it everywheeeere! 👇 pic.twitter.com/DTbwaFjPgP— Slaytonic 👻🔪 (@PlaytonicGames) October 24, 2024</blockquote>We've known since May that Nintendo plans to unveil the Switch's successor this fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2025 for Nintendo.It's hard to imagine what these apparent hints could be pointing at beyond the coming announcement that Yooka-Replaylee will also be available on a new Nintendo console, perhaps as the first official title to be so.Of course, once we do get official word of Nintendo's Switch successor, we'll be on the lookout for the announcement of another Super Smash Bros. entry. Though he's technically semi-retired, Masahiro Sakurai has been working on a secret game project since 2022, which suggests that, whatever it is, it could very well be a launch title for the Switch 2.We'd love to hear your thoughts and suspicions in the comments below.
