, given how all the physics changes, the wall-free custom tracks and the shoot yourself in the backside red rocket "upgrade" feel incredibly Mario Kart inspired. Plus, why would Rare plaster Diddy's face on every wall (just about) when they never intended for it to be a DK game?
Crossover Shooter? That would be terrible! No, I would want it to be more like Smash Bros. Making it into a Shooter could cut the number of possible characters too much and wouldn't feel right. I would be very upset if that was the direction Microsoft went.
No, that's not the case at all... Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Quest started development independently, and later RC Pro AM 64 became a thing, and for it, they plucked characters from Rare's other dev teams, Conker and Banjo, meanwhile the rest of the cast of RC Pro AM 64 was made up for RC Pro AM 64, and then even later, Diddy Kong was brought on and it became Diddy Kong Racing. Then Diddy Kong Racing had a shorter dev cycle and released prior to Banjo-Kazooie, and released prior to what Conker's Quest eventually became, Conker's Bad Fur Day. The other characters in Diddy Kong Racing were never planned for their own games.
Unless you count the tiguer.
At first I wasn't sure what to make of the Tweets, and went on to other things. But looking back on this... the actual Rare twitter did make that comment, and Paul did comment about the easter egg thing. Now I'm just trying to process this and try to work out what it means.
I wouldn't look into it too deep. I interpreted it as Paul playfully teasing the fans and then Rare responded with a playful telling off for baiting the fans. If there was a Banjo game in development, Grant Kirkhope would most likely be involved and Microsoft would have posted SDET jobs if it were mid completion.At first I wasn't sure what to make of the Tweets, and went on to other things.

I won't be looking too deep, but it's also not nothing. There's playful teasing, but I'd consider this more mean teasing--if they have no plans, despite the fan demand, it's less playful and more cruel.
Despite that, Click Clock Wood is such a perfect "final level"--even when you think the game is almost done, nope, it's essentially four levels in one. It took me forever to get there because Rusty Bucket Bay was such a difficult level, and I took a break after getting frustrated. So finally getting to Click Clock Wood felt like an enormous achievement. I also loved how I found the puzzle for Click Clock Wood so early on--it was different than the others because I couldn't go on it to complete the puzzle--"how would I ever complete the puzzle?!" It was so shrouded in mystery and captivated me.
What made Diddy the Star? The fact that his franchise was forced upon the game?
I honestly feel like if they just make it into Smash and that’s the last we see of them, I’d be satisfied.
Awwww I love this!!! This is the dream!
Favorite memories? Hmm let me think...
I loved first entering Freezeezy Peak in Banjo-Kazooie and climbing to the top of the snowman and sledding down it’s scarf onto Boggy ^^
I just needed that last damn Canary Mary race for the final Cheeto page... I was no match for it. Maybe someday I will!
Yeah, it's really hard to say one way or the other what would constitute breaking an NDA without knowing what was in the actual agreement, if there was one. Also one thing that should have been brought up was that wasn't the only tweet--there was also the tweet where he went more in depth of how he would be willing to work with Nintendo to make it happen... in 2015... the same time as the ballot (which resulted in a surge of their popularity).

Definitely entering Click Clock Wood for the first time. I remember finally getting to that world after the grueling Rusty Bucket Bay. Emerging in the spring section and hearing this music on a Sunday morning...
Good eye, Llort! I really hope that's the case here. When Ridley, King K. Rool, and Simon showed up in Ultimate with updated redesigns of their classic appearances, I was hoping that would be the case for Banjo & Kazooie. I like the idea of the Rare logo being somewhere on their person.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you didn't search hard enough.
Doh! Of course! How I could forget any of these renders? I used to see them all the time in the strategy guide I owned back in the day. Either way, it is reassuring seeing them go back to the original style of the characters we grew up with instead of the blockier style of Nuts n' Bolts. Hopefully the figures are a hint towards their future with hopefully a new game/remaster and a spot in Smash Bros.!
Still, it goes to my point of why would Microsoft go back to the N64 design, when they went all in with the Nuts & Bolts design. For anniversary merch, they could have just used the design that refers to their design exclusive for their console. While I can't see Microsoft going back to their N64 designs, I can see Sakurai doing so, like with Simon as you mention in point C. Of course, it's an inference that could be wrong, but it's a hopeful sign.
I agree, despite what everyone says, he was always one of the most popular characters since Melee but hampered by the fact he was considered "impossible" until Spencer's tweet and the ballot in 2015. Banjo & Kazooie would be the ultimate "making the impossible possible" for Ultimate.GUH-HUH!
Listen here....banjo would be the perfect 3rd party to end all 3rd party’s I can see sakurai saving him for the grand finale
