Someone asked if he was still ok with working with Nintendo and that was it.
But thats the thing. If Banjo was making it in wouldn’t Phil just not say anything at all?
Very true, at this point he'd almost certainly be under an NDA, and Nintendo probably wouldn't like sly hints or teasing will they won't they's.
He wouldn't say anything in regards to Banjo being playable. Which he didn't.
To be fair to Minecraft the graphics were made by an indie studio that had to prioritize functionality over aesthetics considering the building part of the game and the low polygon count would help immensely in building the crazier stuff without lagging or overwhelming the engine. Still, I have to agree with you, the art style for that game is just not my cup of tea.
Yeah, and honestly… as a Nintendo fan playing, after all, a nintendo game, I would feel getting Steven over Banjo to be a super stupid decision that really wouldn't appeal that many players at all, specially long time nintendo/smash bros players. Sure it would please Minecraft players, but let's be honest, that game's total playerbase easily doesn't have a huge % of its playerbase also playing Smash… even if we got Minecraft on Switch. Meanwhile, anyone who has played Banjo has most likely played Smash Bros or vice versa since the N64. Sakurai is pleasing the fans more than the companies. Minecraft, if anything, will get AT treatment imo, just like mostly any other indie game. Putting Banjo in would definitely align with what Sakurai is doing, which is to please the fans, mainly the Nintendo ones that come from so long ago (hence why we are getting dreams come true such as Ridley and K Rool). No way Steve is gonna be playable over Banjo, that would be just 200% dumb imo.
Ooh, I was hoping we'd see more of this.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Anyone notable in the know with a twitter account is probably told to respond to a question like that at least once a year.
I definitely think King K.Rool was a big reason why there is a "Rareware Resurgence" and it lit a fire in this fanbase and Dixie Kong's too, any time he's brought up Banjo-Kazooie gets mentioned as well for being from the same company, creators and etc.There also seems to be a ton of overlap from supporters from both groups and lot of them say that King K.Rool and Banjo-Kazooie are their Top 2 most wanted newcomers (Myself included), Banjo-Kazooie is my most wanted ,but K.Rool was a close 2nd and now that the King has returned, I can focus all of my attention to the bear and bird and it's great to see that we have a strong ally in our corner of K.Rool Supporters/Kremling Kutthroats backing us up.
I never cared about K-Rool in the slightest but that trailer just felt so Rare. I could see it.
Yeah, I can't imagine Sakurai doing it. While technically I can't know what he thinks, I have a very strong feeling that in addition to popularity/relevancy, moveset potential matters above all else. Banjo & Kazooie have a unique design, a two in one fighter that fights as one, a variety of skills (flight, egg shooting, beak buster, rolls, etc). And they're Nintendo legacy characters, regardless of who currently owns them, as many people, including me, still associate them with Nintendo. Not to mention all of the characters, settings, music that could all lead to potentially great stages, assists, trophies, remixes. Steve has none of that--he just comes from a popular series, and most people play as skins rather than Steve.
Discussions died down around the time I went to bed, and skimming the pages it didn't look like anything new came up. There was one person who posted a gif, where it shows he could align the "leak" with an official image. Though, if it is a fake, and I always had a suspicion it was, it's a really good one, and I'd love a good quality version of it regardless, as I really like that design compared to the Smashified version. Only thing that's really off to me is the freckles and his teeth--even then, if it was their official render, I'd love it.
Whenever a "leak" with Banjo & Kazooie pop up--I want to believe. So I understand those who really wanted Agnes to be real despite the writing on the wall. Banjo does look off, especially his hands and expression-less face. Dixie's alright, though I'm not as familiar to know what to call BS on. It is great, though, after so many fake leaks with B&K barely getting a mention, the floodgates have opened. And fake or not, it gives me an excuse to talk about Banjo & Kazooie, and that's a good thing in my book.

More """""leaks""""" of screenshots coming out of /v/ again.
It is interesting to see Banjo in these, its bizarre. I don't think I've ever seen this many with them involved. It'd be pretty funny if one of these turned out to be real....
His fingers are like noodles

Like lightly roasted hotdogs.
So uhh… unlike fake renders on a roster, this should be easier to debunk if people found out where are those two from… but doesn't seem like it has been debunked yet… regardless of how weird banjo looks (maybe it was just a weird frame to take the screenshot?… and the quality might make it look even more weird, plus have in mind if this is a WIP moment of the game, it could be real but it will look better when the animations are finished and such…) I don't know… it hasn't been debunked yet, which is what worries me / hypes me a bit atm…

Could be the quality of the image too lends us to see Banjos fingers as just the entire hand as opposed to seeing any palm area first, expressionless eyes and basic walk cycle could be WIPs of their animations. Theres also this dark patch at the end of Banjos pants that confuses me, it looks like its a different color or it could be the mesh is clipping within itself.
That caught my attention too, really interesting. Often overlooked detail in her design.
I'm the weird case that I could probably pull something like that off but I'm not willing to because i actually want real stuff and not waste my time making fake stuff, lmao. But I guess Omni already proved that it doesn't matter how good a leak can look it can still be 100% fake anyway. These fake leakers not going to the same lengths of making great quality fake leaks now is just a waste of time, cause we are never gonna believe anything less good looking than omni, specially now that renders are WAY better looking than in Smash 4. I guess it's a good thing tho, it means render leaks and menu leaks are way easier to discard than ever before. 3D model leaks during gameplay is where the sauce it's still at if pulled off great without being able to track the source of the models. This is why the Banjo Dixie leak still has my attention until they show me where that's from.
HOLY COW… ok… this is what is intriguing, both geno and Banjo never had modern 3D models… these are the type of leaks that interest me, because any character that currently has modern 3d models are easy to fake and such, but these type of old characters… yeah i'm interested in seeing how they get debunked, or if they can be debunked at all.

Anon just posted this, typed like OP. Rarely EVER see a Geno 3D model.
Now I'm interested.
What's crazy is this model of Geno looks like Smash Quality, its really good. I've never seen anything like it, and I do 3D artwork for a living. OP did claim the other 'test cell' was testing Geno, while his was testing Dixie and Banjo, and then later he posts this.
I have seen a few but i'm not sure if all of them… does this model match any of the fan made ones so far?
Doesn't match the Geno Smash 4 mod skin at all, or Project M's.
