Sakurai mentioned Banjo in a Melee era interview
I viewed this tweet today then immediately went to the comments where someone posted a screenshot I wasn't familiar with. It came from Nuts & Bolts where there is a hidden message on one of the levels that reads "Banjo-Kazooie - Rare 1998. The bear and bird's first adventures. Will anyone remember Nuts and Bolts in a decade? Come back in 2018 and find out..."
Crap, I forgot about that! However, it's still a Melee era post but Sakurai is definitely focusing on fan demand this time around so who knows!
I might give it a chance since i’m pretty bored atm waiting for December. Is there any platform it’s better or worse on? I’ve got everything basically except a PC
PC is your best bet, but since that's not an option, I would lean towards the Switch, as that one was definitely given the most time and care. Though I'm sure the PS4 and Xbox One are fine with the patches they've gotten.
With any luck, EB Games will be packing that in store as well, since the B-K series was distributed in Canada.
Interesting. I like Tooie more. I much prefer huge levels
I can only speak for myself, as I may be in the minority. But I really enjoyed the nostalgia trip despite its flaws—and there are many.
Ahh! Yeah, didn’t occur to me that there wouldn’t be that many tracks. Anyways, great ideas everyone. I would also imagine that there would be an official original theme song composition or potential remixes. Though I wouldn’t put it past MS to include the stipulation that Nuts and Bolts music should also be included as well.
It's all about the quality of the tracks not quanity, right?
Well, on one spectrum you have an over-saturation of tracks like Castlevania while on the other, you have a significantly lack of music like Final Fantasy 7. Indeed, quality is important but having a satisfactory amount of music is also important.
If Banjo-Kazooie is in Ultimate you know those plushies are going to fly off shelves and bought by Gruntilda's scalpers.
Speaking of Gruntilda, we need plushies of her and the rest of the cast!
Sorry, still trying to get used to the reply system
No problem. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
lol very true and OMG i need the full thing from your avatar. That's just beautiful!
That's pretty much exactly how Banjo-Kazooie should be in Smash and the possible HD remakes!!! Clearly based off the original Nintendo 64 models but with the flourishes and updated textures and details of Nuts n' Bolts and current-gen graphics!
That would be a big sign if they can work out a deal for Rareware titles, though I assume though the only ones I can see them adding to the N64 Classic list would be:
Don't they still need Rare's permission due to Jetpac still being in DK64
Sort off, I mean DK 64 was released in Wii U VC still ,but I imagine they still had to ask Microsoft about it ,but I think it was minor enough that they had no problem working something out.
Damn that looks nice
This was assumed to be the reason DK64 wasn’t released on the Wii’s VC. Given that it made it onto the WiiU they clearly got the permission to rerelease it so rereleasing it again shouldn’t be an issue. Microsoft is weirdly open to Nintendo and Rare working together/rereleasing their games. There was a Viva Piñata game on DS and a Diddy Kong Racing remake as well. MS said since they don’t have a handheld and don’t have any plans to make one they don’t mind Rare working on the DS
Sounds like an elaborate ****post without any pictures. But I wish it was true.
It began like an hour ago and Microsoft's presentation is at 4:30 pm European Central Time. But yeah they would have already shown the booth
Wonder if they will announce anything at Gamescom at all, as in like anything major.b
Well they did say they have a few surprises for this event, knowing them it won't be Banjo-related but a man can dream
But on the other hand you can also see it as publicity for the new game. It is like, you don't who these characters for our new Xbox game are? They are super popular! Look they even appear in smash bros beating Mario!
It always annoyed me how Microsoft has been using the same renders for Banjo-Kazooie when they promote their Xbox brand, When they have had ownership of the IP for over a decade and half, Using the same art from the N64 era or how Nuts & Bolts is a decade old already and they keep using that one as well, It's like update them and make a new damn game that everyone has been asking for already !!!
