I won’t lie – this week’s Nintendo Download isn’t much larger than last. But then again, last week’s was larger than I thought. So I guess that means you’ll have a lot to enjoy? Either way, there’s a trio of featured games this week, as well as some additional sales, a very strange event promotion and more. So let’s get started with the return of a colorful duo!
As one of the folks that backed the project, I’m fond of Yooka-Laylee. At least in theory. In execution, I got bogged down by all the old school details in the first game, and have yet to beat it. That said, it might surprise you that I’m more than a little excited about the sequel. It’s called Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, and it does things a bit differently. In a way, Impossible Lair is like Super Mario Galaxy 2, and the original Yooka-Laylee is like Super Mario Galaxy. While the first adventure was a wide open 3D romp, this one is more 2.5D, which is much more my speed. That makes this game more of a traditional platformer, with some fun mechanics like Alternate Level States. If you’re a fan of classic platforming with a twist or just loved the first game, you might want to check out Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair starting next week. Next up, if you want a dystopian VN with taxi cabs, check out Neo Cab. Or if you want a prettier version of a 3DS game, there’s The Alliance Alive HD Remastered. Now let’s check out a really peculiar event promotion.
