Based on the trailer alone, it looks like this will entail climbing atop a tower before booting a bunch of Shovel Knight-themed gems (some of which or perhaps all turn into enemies).Although not officially confirmed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, Playtonic has heavily implied that Yooka-Replaylee will be making its way to the highly-anticipated console. On the official website, the initial announcement simply said "Yooka-Replaylee will be playable on PS5, Xbox Series consoles and Nintendo? (Ooh mysterious. Well have more on that as soon as poss!)".Hmm... Seems pretty conclusive to us.The original Yooka-Laylee was relatively well-received, though many noted that it couldn't quite meet the standards set by Banjo-Kazooie. Its sequel, Yooka-Layle and the Impossible Lair, garnered high praise for its Donkey Kong Country-inspired 2D platforming gameplay.
