    Since Banjo joined, one of four things need to happen.

    - Rare Replay Switch port.
    - Banjo-Kazooie, Tooie and Diddy Kong Racing for Switch Online when N64 games are added to Switch Online.
    - Banjo-Kazooie remake for both Switch and XBOX One.
    - New Banjo game for both Switch and XBOX One.

    The term kids game means kids are the only primary target. All Smash Bros. fans including the ones that are kids should all be equally important regardless of age.

    This "new life" of social distancing and staying apart from others is all just temporary until the vaccine is ready. Once enough people get the vaccine, life will return to how it's supposed to be.

    I wouldn't mind this temporary "new life" if our president was actually trying to stop the virus and continuing lockdown. He's pretty much completely reopened the country, and everyone threw their common sense and safety standards out the window. He's also refused to put the country under lockdown once the second wave hits. It's gotten to the point where I want to move to New Zealand because their president actually gives a **** and almost completely destroyed the virus there at this point (usually 0-2 new cases every two days) I've had enough.

    Companies could go out of business if the lockdown goes on any longer. Plus people have cabin fever from having to stay home all the time.

    Rare pretty much invented anything you normally think of when you think of the Donkey Kong franchise. Without them, DK wouldn't have the design he has now, Diddy Kong and King K. Rool wouldn't exist and Tropical Freeze and other more recent DK games wouldn't exist because they took the Rare games's influence.

    Banjo-Threeie should be a prequel to Nuts and Bolts where we learn how Gruntilda's head got buried in the rocks.

    We already kind of find that out in Banjo-Tooie. After the Hag 1 explodes her whole body is destroyed aside from her head and everyone is playing catch with her head at the end. They probably throwed her head off of the tower afterwards and she landed in those pile of rocks untl she got out in Nuts & Bolts.

    I figured she had spent eight years getting from Cauldron Keep to Spiral Mountain while stuck as a head, and getting through the rocks was the last step. Being buried under a rock for two years and dying just made her angrier.

    Some may think Wolf deserved to be Smash 4 DLC more than Lucas did. Here's the thing though, Lucas is more unique and fun to use than Wolf is so Lucas was higher priority.

    lucas is more unique than wolf?
    How?

    Lucas still feels way closer to ness than wolf does to fox, and while both still play way differently compared to who they were based off of, lucas has always felt "closer" to ness.

    The N64 version of Conker's Bad Fur Day didn't release in Japan but Japan would still recognize Conker from Diddy Kong Racing and Rare Replay. Conker needs to join.

    If Banjo gets a new game it should be called Banjo-Rebootie because it would be a reboot.

    Why do people still think relevance matters when deciding the roster? Banjo shows that discontinued franchises can still be part of Smash.

    Because most people think Nintendo wants Sakurai to choose entirely new characters for promotional reasons for the majority of the roster. Though that isn't entirely the case. We get a good chunk of popular, unrelevant, and legacy characters in each Smash game. There is enough diversity in each Smash's newcomer section to go around. Though, Fire Emblem got 3 newcomers and a cut Melee veteran back in Smash 4 which I would say is why too many characters to add for one franchise in one Smash game.

    America's own government is heavily to blame for why it took off so much here. An idiot president who constantly claims it's a "hoax" by his political rivals until it becomes too late is a huge part of the reason we're in this mess. Add in how he lies through his teeth all the time making bogus claims on treatments, including telling people that injecting/drinking a disinfectant cleaner will help, and you not only have to worry about people dying from the virus, but by doing something stupid all because they hang on to every word their "leader" tells them as if it's true, while ignoring all professionals who are telling them point blank to not listen to ANY "medical" advice coming from Chester Cheetoh's lips.

    Our country right now doesn't have a leader, and in fact has a dangerous compulsive liar who doesn't care what damage he may cause to others.

    Remember, Banjo has four mainline games, not three. Grunty's Revenge counts even though it's a GBA game.

    I never played Grunty's Revenge myself, but I'm pretty sure it's kind of acknowledge as filler of certs since Nuts & Bolts didn't bring it up. I know it sounds stupid, but honestly I think Rare kind of pretends the GBA games never happened for some reason. Though I would love to check Grunty's Revenge out sometime as it looks underrated.

    Working at Microsoft made it risky to reference Nintendo products, at least when Phil Spencer wasn't running things.

    Plus Grunty's Revenge was a GBA game and Microsoft has never released a portable Xbox console before so there was no way of putting it on XBLA or Rare Replay because of that I guess.

    I wonder why Origami King wasn't revealed in the March direct. They could have saved it for the end of the direct and it would be the "there's one more thing to show you" kind of reveal.

    Gruntilda is to Banjo what Dr. Robotnik is to Sonic.

    So...I see you're quite aware of BK, eh...

    You're kinda acting concerned as if BK's getting cut from the roster. What do you think are the odds of him NOT getting in the next Smash game? If you were to ask me however, I'd say Nintendo bigwigs are gonna keep him in to keep fans like ya happy.

    PS. Try and say BK next time? Leaving Kazooie out is a microaggression for discrediting women.

    After Rare and Microsoft see how positively received the Banjo DLC was, hopefully they'll change their minds about Banjo-Threeie and decide to make it. But it should be for both XBOX One and Switch. If Minecraft can be on other companies' platforms then why can't a new Banjo game be?

    1. Minecraft is a multiplayer game, presumably Banjo wouldn't be. Multiplayer games benefit a lot more from cross-platform releases, eating into the value of exclusivity for a major platform owner.
    2. Minecraft had already been ported to numerous consoles by Mojang before Microsoft acquired it. It was never funded by Microsoft in order to entice people to buy their hardware, so exclusivity was never part of why they got it.
    3. Releasing on both Switch and Xbox One would require Banjo-Threeie's graphical fidelity to be significantly worse to match the Switch's specs.
    4. Why wouldn't Banjo-Threeie be an Xbox Series X title in the first place?

    So why can Super Lucky's Tale be on Switch but not a Banjo game?
    Inkling Man
    Why do people say Banjo is a non Japanese character? He originated in a DK game and that makes him a Donkey Kong character. Banjo-Kazooie is a Donkey Kong spin off game because a Donkey Kong character is the main character of it. It doesn't matter who owns the rights to Banjo, he's still part of the DK series.

    ^Yeah, and some people consider them western Donkey Kong characters.

    If anything though, these discussions can show how arbitrary the distinction between "western" and "Japanese" characters can be. I don't think it's something we should get too hung up on.
    R
    RetrogamerMax
    In origin, Diddy and K. Rool are British characters because of being created by Rare but by ownership they're Japanese characters because of being owned by Nintendo. So in that regard, currently and forever they're Japanese characters.

    What type of characters would you prefer: Western characters in Smash or Japanese characters in Smash? Prefer the latter tho.

    If Sakurai said Buzzy Beetle got the most votes among negotiable and realizable characters, would you believe him? The ballot was mainly used to decide the Ultimate newcomers. Smash 4 Bayonetta was probably just an ad for Bayonetta 2.

    Megadoomer Megadoomer Exactly! I voted for K. Rool in the Smash Ballot and I was disappointed to hear that Bayonetta won or supposedly was the most easily negotiated popular character to put in from the Ballot into Smash 4. I stop thinking about it because it was over afterwards and I had no control over the matter. Plus I had low to mid hopes K. Rool was going to make it as DLC at the time and I really wasn't sure if he would be popular enough in the Smash Ballot or not to make it in. I'm thankful I got K. Rool, Ridley, and Banjo & Kazooie in Ultimate and I don't care if Bayonetta beat them in the Ballot or not. Besides, the Smash Ballot was a suggestion box not an election as almost everyone saw it as.
    Inkling Man
    We need more non iconic 3rd parties besides Bayonetta and Joker. Banjo and Terry don't count because they USED to be icons. I'm counting characters who were never iconic.

    Banjo wouldn't have lost his icon status if Microsoft used him correctly. Why don't they use Banjo very often?

    Like Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario Wario said, a majority of the original staff that made the N64 Banjo-Kazooie games and Rare games in general in the 90s all left the company right when the buyout was going on. A lot of Rare employees wanted to stay with Nintendo while the higher ups at Rare and the Stamper brothers the founders were the ones that were "O'key dokey!" With Microsoft purchasing their company since that would get them a lot of money out of it.

    I believe Rare and Microsoft either didn't care or just didn't know what to do with all the old Rare IPs after so much of the original staff left. Same thing with Nintendo and DKC since Rare and the staff working on those games left Nintendo completely after the Microsoft purchase and Nintendo didn't know what to properly do with the franchise until they gave it to Retro to work on it in 2010. It's why DKC was in spin off hell in the 2000s.

    Banjo & Kazooie could have been Microsoft's platforming mascot in general had they used them more properly over the years. It's sad really because I wouldn't be complaining about the buyout if Microsoft had Rare pumping out quality games like in the 90s every so often.

    Well the order of franchise character inclusion always goes like this in Smash: Protagonist, co-protagonist, antagonist. The protagonist always goes first no matter who it is. We will always get the person on the cover first before we get their friends and their enemies in.

    It's weird how the morale of Ralph Breaks the Internet goes directly against the morale of Wreck-It Ralph. In Wreck-It Ralph, we learn that the characters shouldn't leave their games while the arcade is open or else their game could get unplugged. So Vanellope shouldn't have left Sugar Rush.

    I would attribute that to Banjo and Conker being partially connected both within the same game as well as paired games. I would argue that at least Rash and Fulgore are more likely than Conker. That being said, that would also require having a second Microsoft Rep which I don’t see happening and, if it did, they wouldn’t go the Rare route again and opt for Master Chief, Gears of War, or Minecraft probably.

    Then again, I never got into Conker. The game never really got me interested but I’m not a fan of potty-humor. Banjo though was my jam and I’m still a dedicated fan of Killer Instinct; both when it was Nintendo and the rebooted version. So perhaps me not seeing Conker as appearing on FP2 is simply bias. I’m willing to bet money we won’t be getting another Microsoft Rep.

    What are some companies that should never be put in Smash?

    - Disney. Sorry Sora fans but if Disney got a rep, that could lead to Disney buying Nintendo and nobody would want that to happen. Plus Smash is for video game characters, not Disney characters.

    - Sony. Nintendo and Sony are bitter rivals so Sony characters have no place in Smash. Unless Nintendo and Sony end their rivalry and become friends. (Delusional fantasy.)

    Perkilator Perkilator I don’t know much about that allegations that @JDCabrera mentioned and, to date, they are still allegations due to, from what I’ve read, a link to Epstein and his island of underage debauchery. Until these allegations are true and his involvement there comes to light, I’m not going to cast judgement. Crash is still good. Hell, even though I’m angry at Bluzzard with with-holding prize money and event banning for making pro-Hong Kong statements, I wouldn’t be crushed if Tracer/Thrall/Diablo/Kerrigan made it into Smash. A bit disappointed because Blizzard, a company I have long loved, is now involved. So, even if these allegations are true about Activision, Crash getting in would still be a good thing in my book. I mean, Hero got in and the DQ music composer is a racist, homophobe, Holocaust denier, etc

    Saying Banjo-Kazooie is a Mario 64 rip off is like saying Donkey Kong Country is a Super Mario Bros. rip off. Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country were both created by Rare also Banjo is a Donkey Kong character who has his own series since he first appeared in Diddy Kong Racing.
