All five games will be available starting on December 18. Nintendo was also nice enough to drop a video giving players codes to access bonus levels, level selects and more. The fine folks behind Donkey Kong Country also made a series called Yooka-Laylee. Check out our review on their latest outing, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.
