Yooka-Laylee to include off-TV play
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Genei Ibun Roku #FE is one game we just spoke about not having off-TV play. On the other side of the spectrum, however, Yooka-Laylee should support the feature.
Playtonic told one fan on Twitter last week:
@skatcat743 Yes, that's the plan!

Off-TV play is one of the Wii U’s better features, so it’s always nice when it can be included!
