<p>Can you believe it? Playtonic’s unlikely duo <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/yooka-laylee">Yooka-Laylee</a></strong> is now three years old! The original game of the same name was first released on the 11th of April 2017 after a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign. And although it never saw the light of day on Nintendo’s Wii U, it did eventually show up on the Switch.</p>
<p>To celebrate this special milestone, the game’s publisher Team17 has released the following tweet, asking fans to share their favourite moments so far with these characters.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, Playtonic also rolled out a <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/yooka-laylee_and_the_impossible_lair_update_makes_the_final_stage_easier_to_beat">new update</a> for the Impossible Lair, making it a little bit easier.
