Banjo-Kazooie: Dynamic Jiggy Duo - Project Dream

[JamesDNaux]

The format of everything in here is pretty similar to the Rayman thread, with a few tweaks here and there.

Though I actually want to see if they can pull off that "moving a post" trick so I can have the second post for that section.

 

[SuperTorn]

I'm not sure if you guys have seen it but has anyone seen this image already? I haven't looked far enough on the thread to see if anyone has but here:

 

[A Distant Demon]

I think it may be time to put that image in the OP before it gets posted again

implying people read the op

 

[SuperTorn]

lel, sorry about that then

Did anyone watch the GameXplain discussion about the Smash ballot?

They pretty much focused on "why should they do advertisement for the competitor?", but it's interesting nonetheless. We have to consider that they're just trying to analyse what's likely and not. But that shouldn't affect us, because the ballot's all about fan support after all. I would be angry if I didn't try to get them in... the B-K series stands above everything I like in the video game world. Yes, as weird as it sounds: To me, it matters more than Zelda, Mario, Rayman or something legendary like Half-Life.

Brb, watching the discussion in a minute. This ought to be interesting.

A treat for you guys... Just threw it together this afternoon.

I watched a more anti-banjo one before it so was hardly surprised, if a little mift at them. How they can claim Shovel Knight and Shantae over him and Rayman I will never understand. And Inklings? Really? They look great and all but save them until after they have a game out please.

Whatever happens though, Banjo has a chance and that's enough to make me support him to the very end.

Whilst it's a touch frustrating that they emphasize the marketing aspect of Banjo so negatively immediately after lavishing praise unto shovel night. That said, I can't honestly say they are incorrect. Also their idea of the timing seems to fit perfectly.

 

[Fire_Voyager]

I don't agree with the Game Explain complain about the free publicity for a new xbox game.
I insist that we need a portable B&K Game on the 3DS
not necessary a remake, but a sequel, even to N&B (yeah... it isn't a bad game, just not the one that we deserve)
In its tier, the 3DS is the better option, (there are no Portable x box) and Microsoft isn't making anything with rare's Ip (Except Killer Instinct, but now it's developed by Iron Galaxy)...
You know what?, B-K Need a revival like RayMan Origins. Retro gameplay, charming NPCs, collectathon 3d Platformer, and a Big load of new abilities.

The timing fits. But what if they don't announce anything? Also, Phil Spencer just answered a questions from a fan... and didn't went out by himself like "Hey guys, pls vote 4 Banjo, because I want to advertise our characters since everybody does that"... It was his decision to answer this question, yes. But it wasn't his decision to touch this subject initially.

Its really hard to judge whether this was intentional or not. We should just settle with the information that Microsoft's willing to lend the IP for this occasion.

 

[SilverWolf7]

@ JamesDNaux Fine then Green Jinjo.

 

[Deleted member]

If Microsoft doesn't have a good outlook on gaming, having Banjo-Kazooie in Smash is a great first step to regaining the rights to them, in a beautiful scenario where they come back home.

Also, never played Banjo-Tooie. I have access to it...might have to.

Please do play it. It's basically perfection.

 

[Sponge]

I thought I was pretty clear about that one being exclusive, sorry.

I just put tracks straight from the games, just something to listen to.

Master Jiggywiggy? Hmmm...

Only if Grant can be Mumbo.

Sean's still hard at work on that picture! I will keep you guys updated on when he finishes.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Well I got a few funny comments out of the whole grey jinjo thing. This awesome Mad Monster Mansion remix fits will the whole dead supporter motif we have going on now:

I also just really wanted to post that remix. On the brighter side of things, here's another poll where Banjo Kazooie are in the lead: http://www.gamnesia.com/polls/poll-...oting-for-in-the-super-smash-bros.-fighter-ba

Rated E? nostalgia.

 

[Zzuxon]

Put me down as a blue jinjo. Sorry I can't Colorado now- on a tablet.

 

[Rueckkoppler]

How did it come that most people didn't play it anyway? Compared to Banjo-Kazooie, the sales numbers were also quite lower, as we know.

Was it that parents in that time said that one Banjo game is enough? Or that by 2000, all kids had "enough N64 games"?

It seems we're quite close to 30k followers. Annoyingly close. If you can soothe our number-based OCD, then maybe we'll reveal something...

Your friends Banjo-Kazooie blows artsy omni's out of the water (not meaning to bash his or anything it's still awesome). It just looks so real.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I hear that the render is done but we have to wait until (hopefully) tomorrow for it. The suspense...


I've dug out my B-K and B-T cartridges and put them up on a shelve, it feels good just looking at them.

I need to see if I can lug an old TV up here and hook the N64 up to it...

Yep, it actually looks better when you hook your N64 to an old TV!

Yeah it's too bad. I think that happens to lots of sequels on the same system: Majora's Mask, Metroid Prime 2, Mario Galaxy 2, etc.

I like it but I think the first game is better.

 

[foolssigma]

I'm on #TeamTooie. Love them both but the second one really expands on the original in almost every way. There are less worlds but I never minded that so much

 

[Wintropy]

While I'm still ambivalent at best towards the characters, Mumbo Jumbo and the Jinjos are easily my favourite part of the game.

I request to be remembered by all as a Blue Jinjo plz~ :3

 

[foolssigma]

How do you guys think the RTC for Banjo is going to play out?

 

[A Distant Demon]

How do you guys think the RTC for Banjo is going to play out?

high want and irrationally high likeliness. Just like other RTC

 

[Hippopotasauce]

high want and irrationally high likeliness. Just like other RTC

I think there will be enough people rating 0's for a reasonable likelihood.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Yes, and the inevitable "Muh Microsoft ownership" argument to explain the 0% ratings.

 

[CitrusRain]

Well...

I don't like the smashified Banjo.
I like the smashified Kazooie. But not the Banjo.

 

[Rosalina suporter]

You need to add banjo pilot to the list of games that was on the GBA.

Don't forget Nuts and Bolts!
(And don't dismiss it just because the gameplay wasn't as good!)

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Question: Does it really matter all that much if Banjo is owned by Microsoft? Just because they're a Microsoft property, doesn't mean they're a Microsoft franchise: They've only shown up in a single, critically-panned game, and never again. They are most remembered for their games on the N64. Comparatively, Metal Gear is more a Sony franchise than Banjo is a Microsoft franchise, although I guess you could argue that's part of the reason Snake didn't get in this time. I just feel like, if they win the ballot or get number 2 behind K. Rool, it will be difficult for Nintendo to ignore. And I don't understand why they're consistently rated below third-party characters who were never owned by Ninty, and have never had Japanese releases.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Nuts and Bolts wasn't critically panned. It actually received positive reviews.

 

[Daybreak]

It's out guys, the other (SeanHicks) render.

The last bit warms my heart.


Spread it around!

Love it! Just tweeted the video to my negligible amount of followers. I'm torn over which render I like more.

He's right. Nuts and Bolts isn't seen as a bad game. It's seen as a bad banjo game. Most complaints come from fans of the originals.

Someone send this to Phil Spencer.

Love that video! I really hope we can be heard and get Banjo in Smash. I feel like this really is the once in a life time shot we have. Assuming Nintendo never acquires the Banjo IP, why not add him in Smash Wii U? The Wii U as a console is essentially finished unfortunately. Adding Banjo to Smash isn't going to sell a million Xbox Ones, or Wii Us, so I think the helping out a competitor point is essentially irrelevant.

You want only Banjo in Smash? I want Banjo AND Kazooie personally.

Sadly I can see Sakurai adding Banjo-Kazooie (and maybe Gruntilda as an AT) to Smash, but I am hoping for the best.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

So last night I had this weird dream that I was playing Earthbound as Banjo and Kazooie. Collecting Mumbo Jumbo tokens in the streets, and a Jinjo in the Runaway Five's tour bus.

 

[JamesDNaux]

It's so glorious... but not transparent, so I can't actually use it. Both he and Omni forgot the freckles, are we just pretending those didn't exist now?

I'd need a transparent version of that.

We're trying to get them into Smash, and only their history with Nintendo means anything for it.
