If there’s one thing that can be said about gamers, it’s that they love nostalgia. The industry is well and truly in the midst of a remaster and remake era, from the likes of GOTY nominee Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, to beloved platformer classics like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon.

In 2025, we were treated to yet another beloved platformer getting a face lift, with Yooka-Replaylee getting rebuilt and refreshed for a release on PC and consoles, including the new Nintendo Switch 2. While the title made its digital release on October 9, collectors will be delighted with what is in store for the game’s upcoming physical release.

Classic 3D Platformers That Still Hold Up Today

The platformer genre exploded into popularity with these classic 3D titles taking charge, providing gamers with endless fun, no matter the decade.

Yooka & Laylee Return For A Modern, Expanded Platforming Experience

Yooka-Replaylee is a reimagining of the beloved 2017 platformer by Playtonic, Yooka-Laylee, where you played as the lovable buddy duo of Yooka, a chameleon, and Laylee, a bat. The game was developed by genre veterans, including some key talent that brought to life the likes of Banjo Kazooie and the Donkey Kong Country series, so it was always destined to be a great time.

In the enhanced version of the highly-regarded platformer and collectathon, players can experience an expanded map, new currency, more customization, and even a new character, Mark! If you’ve not had a chance to experience the game before, a demo is available to try before you buy, with your progress carrying over into the full game!
