Social Banjo-Kazooie Social Thread - Project Dream Come True!

[PurpleStrings16]

Some people in the general thread were upset with the nose size. It is simply unbelivable a faker would make it that bigView attachment 171974

I’m confused. What’s too big about his nose? It looks normal to me.

 

[Banjodorf]

Banjo's nose has been ****ing *huge* in the past. This isn't even close to a ridiculous size.

 

[thirsty-pocket]

I'm guessing that we won't actually get a Mach Rider Stage (or Rhythm Heaven but that seems less likely) but rather TWO Microsoft stages, Minecraft and a Banjo Stage. Cause I think Verge's source's might have still been right about minecraft representation.

is nobody considering the idea that The Minecraft representation could just be a Mii costume?

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

is nobody considering the idea that The Minecraft representation could just be a Mii costume?

I mean it's possible. Personally I think a stage would be better.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

Even if Banjo's nose looks too big to some, Some of the art looks kind of off anyways, I mean just look at Donkey Kong's face.

 

[UnknownJ25]

I don't know why his nose is a point of contention. Banjo has had a pretty huge nose in the past.

Also if this leak is real I can't wait to see the Banjo kirby

That's what I've been saying, these aren't official renders. They're artist interpretations of each character, and they're not going to all be completely on-model.

Exactly. I know in the banner image his nose goes halfway down his face, but he's tilting his head down slightly and it could easily just be the artists choice. Banjo Nose is the least of my worries on this

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

That's what I've been saying, these aren't official renders. They're artist interpretations of each character, and they're not going to all be completely on-model.

Exactly, Their not even renders for the character select screen in the menu, It just look like promo/mural art.

The reason I brought up characters like Crash, Spyro and Rayman was because most of gamings icons are already in Smash, There isn't much star power left out there, The way I see it we have to go one step below the "Icons" and there is different tiers/levels for character's.

Icons/Legends: (The biggest names in gaming) Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Sonic, Pac-Man, Mega Man and Snake ,etc.

All-Stars: (Not as iconic or legendary, But were still popular and successful franchises that had an impact) Banjo-Kazooie, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon and Rayman.

Crash Bandicoot (And to a lesser extent Spyro) while associated with Sony more were actually mascots for the Playstation brand, Not to mention Crash was Mario's rival in the late 90's and was a very successful franchise and both got remastered trilogy's for the Switch Plus a lot of people (Myself included) would love to see Mario and Crash go toe to toe.

Rayman while not as big is Ubisoft's mascot and has gotten some pretty big 2d platformers over the decade for Wii, Wii U and Switch not to mention Nintendo has started having a strong relationship with Ubisoft and developed Mario Kingdom Battle/ Donkey Kong Adventure and Starlink/Star Fox and Rayman even had a trophy in Smash Wii U.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm coming off harsh ,But I'm just telling it like it is, Shantae was never a big name character to begin with and isn't even in the same league as those 3 up there, Let alone with the biggest names in gaming and while she has had a few games most of them were just Eshop/PSN/Xbox Live digital releases that while well received and do well for the indie scene, They were never big releases or huge sellers. Your average gamer is likely gonna recognize Crash, Spyro and Rayman a lot more and aside from indie gamers and some Smash fans she is pretty much unknown.

I didn't say Shantae should be in because she is an icon, but because the character is very close to Nintendo that she is practically Nintendo similar to Bayonetta and Simon. Bayonetta is not very iconic either, but
she is in Smash because her series is tied to Nintendo now.

Rayman has games on Nintendo, but as I said Rayman isn't a character people associate with Nintendo or any console. Not trying to attack Rayman fans or saying who shouldn't be in.

I know I like to derail threads defend characters that I feel have a good reason to be in, but I have also done it with Banjo in other threads.

Also you said there isn't many gaming legends left. Oh yeah there is one, and if this leak is true, it just opened the door to him.

Well it was worth it for us because of course we want Banjo-Kazooie, But Ultimate was only a little over a month away and we were going to get a direct in the next several of weeks anyways, Plus the surprise is kind of ruined.

But it was definitely not worth it for the leaker, What kind of idiot throws away their life like that for 15 minutes of fame and a laugh? But that's his problem not ours.

That it is the only thing that disspoints me a little bit. I love Smash reaction videos and would love to see how people would react to Banjo in Smash. It wont be as fun watching them as people wont be as shocked.

 

[Xzsmmc]

Yeah, the banner isn't always accurate in terms of artwork. DK looks really weird.

 

[TheZoologist]

I definitely feel you there, if this leak is true, it would've been a shocker to see their reveal along with everyone else that everyone's been wanting for years. However, I do think the reactions will still be noteworthy if the leak is true because we'll be getting official confirmation of them in Smash finally. I know I'll still be going nuts if they get confirmed in the coming weeks during a direct!

 

[Dee Dude]

I think what actually supports the leak even more is how suspiciously the Mii Gunner is in a position by herself (top of Greninja and below Mewtwo) while the other two are together in the current banner.

According the Grinch banner, Banjo has taken the spot of the Gunner who has been moved back with her proper Mii counterparts.

Isn’t that a little obvious or would naysayers expect a different character to do that?

 

[Hobnail Boot]

Due to obvious reason, I sooooo want this to be true. It would truly make this the ultimate game for me. However, I am remaining optimistically skeptical at this point. I think it's true, but that could just be my bias speaking. I also think it's too good to be true, so we will wait and see in the next direct!

 

[Deleted member]

Uh oh things are about to get worse....cause verge is back
DUN DUN DUN!!!

[Banjodorf]

Verg isn’t really saying anything here tbh. Just “I’ve said what I’ve heard and it contradicts this some”

 

[JonSmash]

WOW weak verg really he is basicaly saying nothing

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Verge is on da ropes

 

[dlewis53]

You know what's frustrating: the fact that all we need to confirm/disprove this banner leak is ONE new character reveal (then we could see if it's one shown in the banner, and if so, check to see if their placement lines up), but we've still heard nothing from either Nintendo or Sakurai concerning any sort of Direct, Smash-focused or otherwise.

Oh wow, I didn’t think about that. You’re right, all we really need is one official character’s art and we’d know. I don’t think that’ll happen though, as I suspect it’ll be all in one big direct. Hell, one big trailer at the start of said direct even.

Wasn't there a lot of talk earlier in the week about there being two directs in November?

If that's true there's certainly multiple opportunities for reveals.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Yeah, sort of like the Everyone is here trailer but in fancy cg

 

[TheMasterDS]

I doubt there’s going to be two. If there was going to be two they’d do one in October. Early to mid October, which is past. Nope. All at once. Next week, or the one after. Since the leak is already out there... probably next week.

I'm willing to guess that he was saving this all for one direct. He has been vocal about not expecting too many characters, how the reveals are going to slow down since Isabelle, and when he said he revealed too much too early. Only saying that to temper expectations and then reveal 5 unique characters in one direct, "like lol JK"

Maybe another 50 fact extravaganza type video that's 10 mins longer, with each number showing a new fighter (Trailers), stage, features etc..

 

[TheBeastHimself]

What if they had a Smash ultimate direct but every now and then throughout the video they release a new character trailer, instead of at just the beginning or the end.

Boi was this guy wrong lol!

I want this guy to be wrong not only because I want Banjo & Kazooie to be in more than any video game character in the history of Smash and Nintendo, but I can't stand when people use insulting terms towards autistic people, having a twin sister with autism whom I love dearly, and having Asperger's myself and want them to be proven wrong.

 

[VexTheHex]

While I like the leak has Banjo and Kazooie, I don't really want it to be real. I want the shock and curiosity of who it is till the end, This leak could get debunked but still the newcomers be all the same and I'd be happy. Lol.

 

[ZealousGamer]

Thing is for me; I don't like "Leakers". I like Theorist. I like when people look at patterns, possible relevant dates, lack of confirmation or denial to a character or importance to Nintendo and come up with educated guesses if so and so character will make it.

Fake pictures, random claims of knowledge, bad "leak lists", so on and so forth are just annoying. As much as I want to believe Skull Kid will being Smash Bros doesn't mean I'll believe someone just because he "leaks" the character I want.

I've always considered Banjo & Kazooie likely. It's because of actual hints like Phil Spencer's willingness or Nintendo & Microsoft working together or the high demand of the characters that leads me to think they will make it in.

I think this leak is fake.... but, I still think Banjo & Kazooie will make it in. That is coming from someone who hasn't played the Banjo Kazooie games. It's not simply bias. However, let's say they might not make it in. I'd say they'd be DLC.

I'm autistic and I hate seeing people insult and make fun of us. So I hope that a**h**e is wrong too.

I can't understand that viewpoint at all. There is no benefit in waiting to know. All this does is eliminate the horrible droughts as now all we have to do is see the trailers assuming it's real.

Heh sucker
Sorry

It's that moment in time where you might have had a feeling but never knew. It's the surprise and excitement that shoots through you and almost feels like you'd explode. For example; this "leak" doesn't show Skull Kid. However, if Skull Kid was announced; I'd be losing it. If I knew before hand sure I'd be happy, excited. However, that feeling of surprise way surpasses that.

I was surprised to see Banjo leaked so I have that wonderful joy of the surprise but without the wait. Literally 0 benefit to having to wait till Nintendo has decided we've suffered enough.

Do you think you'd be as excited when the trailer hits already knowing what's coming? Not to mention this "leak" isn't concrete. Leaving uncertainty.

Yes because now I'm looking forward to it my anticipation is even higher. And yes there is some uncertainty but Banjo is in a credible leak which is far more exciting than the "probably DLC" from before.

I know I’m still gonna be excited just knowing they are finally officially confirmed to be back with Nintendo and in Super Smash Bros. Plus to see them hopefully with an amazing CG trailer and actual gameplay footage of them and hopefully a look at Spiral Mountain or whatever B-K stage they come with!

Yeah, as someone with Asperger's, I felt that Vergeben's remarks there were wildly out of line.

 

[Xevious 1]

I'm in the same boat, while I prefer seeing the trailers. I still feel really excited over this leak, even more so if the leak turns out to be true.

What I do miss is that we wont see the same surprise in reaction videos like this.
