[AwesomeAussie27]

Despite the odds, I still would like to see these two in Smash.

Even if things are looking a lot less likely thanks to Microsoft. Sure Spencer is fine with it, but I bout the rest of the company would agree with this.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Banjo Kazooie is an amazing game


Nuts and Bolts is a great spinoff no matter what people tell me
Supporting, if just for the music.

 

[N3ON]

Yus plz.

Banjo supporter for 18 years and counting.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I normally don't want characters owned by one of Nintendo's competitors.

But I'll make a MAJOR exception for Banjo and Kazooie.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Might as well bring @RetroBro and @AustarusIV too while we're at it.

 

[Arcadenik]

Banjo-Kazooie would be amazing in Smash!

I just wish that Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie would be available on Switch Virtual Console. That alone would really boost Banjo-Kazooie's chances. But I just want those N64 games back. I miss those games.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Unlikely, but I still want him.

It's far too late for Nintendo to take him back, so thinking about a buyout is unbearingly impossible. But we can dream, right?

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Honestly, I would love to see Banjo and Kazooie in Smash.

 

[Autumn ♫]

The duo were a huge part of my childhood, possibly bigger than Mario was for me. I definitely support!

 

[fogbadge]

it will never happen but id love it if it did, if only

i support

 

[Deleted member]

Would love to see Banjo and Kazooie finally get their dues in Super Smash Bros. They'll always be home on Nintendo in my heart. Of course I support.

 

[Diddy Kong]

The only third party character(s) I actually support, aside from their spiritual succesors Yooka-Laylee of course

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I doubt they will happen, however I'm not opposed to them.

 

[ssbashworld]

I will never give up hope for this dream no matter what anyone says especially after Phil Spencer's tweet during the ballad, this just needs to happen to the perfect roster. Somehow also getting other rare ip like conker, ki, battletoads, etc in the game somewhere would be icing on the cake although less likely and not a necessity.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Literally my childhood. Full disclosure I ****ing love Grunty's Revenge. One of my favorite GBA games, Banjo-Kazooie is also one of my favorite games of all time with Banjo-Tooie coming close and, well, Nuts & Bolts and Banjo-Pilot are at least playable. I was more of a closet supporter during the Wii U days but now, to hell with it, I fully support Banjo-Kazooie 100% in Smash. Let's get it done Phil Spencer.

 

[N3ON]

I wouldn't be surprised if Banjo had been one of those very high placing characters on the poll that wasn't "realizable".

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I wouldn't be surprised if Banjo had been one of those very high placing characters on the poll that wasn't "realizable".

Phil Spencer responding to that one tweet probably did some favors for the old Bear and Bird as well. I wonder if he actually ment that. Like if there ever came a point where Nintendo was like 'Look we want to use Banjo' would Micro$oft actually let them do that? Would there be certain stipulations? We'll probably never know.

Well that tweet was the entire impetus to the duo getting as popular as the did around the time of the ballot. I'd imagine otherwise they would've been seen at that "impossible tier" they had been prior.

And I imagine Microsoft would let them. It's good advertising. Especially if they were planning to actually make use of the IP. And they'd be compensated well for it. Plus Nintendo and Microsoft seem to have a pretty amicable relationship atm, at least as far as competitors go. They brought Minecraft to Nintendo platforms and allowed for DK64 on the VC unaltered, even though it has a Rare game within. It's just that Nintendo probably would never do that. Between them, Microsoft, and gamers, they have the least to gain from such a move, lol. Unless they also negotiated to release the old Banjo games on the VC, but now we're really getting into the weeds of the unlikely scenarios, haha.

 

[fogbadge]

I wouldn't be surprised if Banjo had been one of those very high placing characters on the poll that wasn't "realizable".

yes i imagine they'd have quite a few votes, mind you considering the way the ballot was run a lot of troll choices were probably at the top

 

[Deleted member]

Despite the near impossibility of this happening, I support.
I played the first game and I loved it. If they somehow got in, it would be incredibly hype.

 

[PsychoJosh]

I would find it very exciting if it did happen, but Banjo's not exactly my first pick from Microsoft.

If Microsoft got a rep I'd just have to go with Master Chief over Banjo. But then again Banjo is more of a Rareware rep.

 

[ryuu seika]

I wouldn't be surprised if Banjo had been one of those very high placing characters on the poll that wasn't "realizable".

I would not have been surprised if Bayonetta had been. Her creator was vehemently against Smash Bros as a whole, let alone her inclusion.

 

[PsychoJosh]

I would not have been surprised if Bayonetta had been. Her creator was vehemently against Smash Bros as a whole, let alone her inclusion.

She was still the most popular choice, and Sakurai probably liked her as well. Also Hideki Kamiya was very happy to see her in and thanked the Smash fans on twitter for voting her in, even if he expressed distaste for the game before.

 

[ryuu seika]

IIRC she was actually third most popular.

 

[PsychoJosh]

IIRC she was actually third most popular.

Behind who? Unrealistic joke options like Goku and Shrek? We never got the official listings.

All they told us was that she was #1 in Europe and Top 5 in North America, making her #1 worldwide.

 

[ryuu seika]

Third behind unrevealed characters, yes. Were they jokes? Were they characters Nintendo just wasn't willing to deal with? We'll probably never know.

 

[PsychoJosh]

I'm willing to bet the top 5 in North America looked something like this:

1. Goku
2. Shrek
3. Bayonetta
4. Freddy Fazbear
5. Darude - Sandstorm

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I'm willing to bet the top 5 in North America looked something like this:

1. Goku
2. Shrek
3. Bayonetta
4. Freddy Fazbear
5. Darude - Sandstorm

Sakurai stated that all characters that 'weren't realizable' were not included in the results. So Goku, Shrek, Freddy, and Darude were not accounted for when giving her her third place spot. The most likely candidates were either veterans or NA beloved characters like Rids and K. Rool whom aren't as popular overseas.

Do try and keep the discussions centered around Banjo and his series if you will. You can always discuss the Ballot and more in the general speculation thread.

 

[fogbadge]

well lets face it the way the ballot was done theres no real way of knowing who actually the most wanted

 

[A Distant Demon]

Where is "third place spot" even coming from?

I only remember #1 in europe and top 5 NA

 

[FunAtParties]

I support, BK will always be a Nintendo character in my heart. Even if they're not, they just belong in Smash.

About those stats on the OP, does everyone really think he's Mario height? I guess it makes sense, but I always saw Banjo as a larger character.

Luigi's height sounds about right to me.

 

[FunAtParties]

Did you read the rest of that list?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Where is "third place spot" even coming from?

I only remember #1 in europe and top 5 NA

Number 1 is Europe.
Top five in NA.
Number 1 overall.


This 3rd number is a load of bull and was never mentioned.

Don't even give that stuff the time of day folks.

 

[ryuu seika]

The "Third Place" thing comes purely from my memory, I'm sorry if it's not accurate but I could have sworn that it was what was said during her announcement.

I'm still a little mad about that because the whole thing came across as "So, there were some very popular characters in this ballot but we're not even going to tell you who they were. Instead, here's a second party character you were explicitly told wouldn't get in."

I wanted Banjo, god damn it, and I would have at least liked to have known his fate in the end.

 

[PsychoJosh]

I think it's better that they didn't show it. Displaying the results had the potential of kicking the hornet's nest, so to speak, and it probably would've made a lot of people even angrier if they found out that their favorites didn't even make the top 5. You don't know that Banjo made the top 5, it could've been a surprise pick, like Sora or Simon Belmont.

Also it's possible that Nintendo didn't have the legal freedom to display the names of other companies' copyrighted characters in a promo video for their game.

 

[ryuu seika]

Personally, I'd be less worried about the reaction to characters not making the list and more worried about the reaction to characters who did not getting in. It does make sense to omit them but it still felt like a cop out when they said that Bayonetta wasn't the most popular character and then told us nothing about why she was the one that got in.

There's no way there were legal ramifications to displaying names on a poll. As long as they aren't using the characters likeness without permission they're safe.

I think they should've showed the results. Maybe they didn't expect people to care that much, but lots of people were strung along for months, and they got no idea how it turned out. Many still believe they were ripped off, myself included. People were going to be upset either way, but saying nothing but 'this character won, trust me' is bound to get on more people's nerves then actually showing the results.
