Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair has a Release Date
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair coming to Nintendo Switch on 8th October. The Duo’s latest adventure is a 2.5D side-scrolling adventure which is reminiscent of classic Donkey Kong Country titles. I really enjoyed the first game, but Yooka-Laylee’s upcoming sequel looks like it’s going to top the original by some distance. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. 🙂

And Finally
Classic Disney MegaDrive/Genesis, Super Nintendo and Game Boy versions of Aladdin and Lion King are being remastered for Nintendo Switch and will be released on 29th October. These titles are true classics with brilliant gameplay and excellent soundtracks. This is yet another title to add to my purchase list.
That’s it for now.
