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

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

The thing is we have no idea how much each 4 DLC character sold, especially since they ALL came back, so we don't have a metric to go on from.

In any case, we'll be seeing Jokers more than anything, since globally-popular Japanese franchise options are starting to run dry.

He said nothing about that on Twitter

The approximate translation is posted on Twitter by a fan, rather. IIRC, someone from Source Gaming had said Sakurai wrote a new column, and it revealed that the FP ain't getting PGs.

I just have one question.

Are you fellas ready for project dreams to come true?

PolarPanda what do you think? is she to be trusted? Because I really want banjo to come home
She has some connections with Microsoft leaked stuff in the past and those 2 tweets have been deleted

 

[JonSmash]

Yeah Just look at smash 4's DLC Roy & Lucas 2 cut characters who's games where ONLY released in japan but broght back due to fan demand casuals wont know or care about then yet here they are.

Bayonetta barely anyone even knew who she was yet she was DLC

Corrin NO ONE knew who Corrin was as there game was not out yet BUT they where added as a character you had to buy

Mewtwo a very reconizable pokemon

Ryu I say he is recanizable

Cloud recanizable but i would say obscure to casueals (espesally due to his game being playstation only) not really something casuals would really know

What did IndieGamerChick get right exactly?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Somehow she did get a game collection named after her, that's the only solid thing I know:

[Juliusaurus]

So an April-ish Smash Direct, probably, and we'll see Joker and the next DLC fighter... But I still don't expect Banjo-Kazooie then, I'm still believing in either E3 or VGAs '19, I just don't see a Dragon Quest character being at E3 or VGAs given the franchise isn't big in the west (and I do think a Dragon Quest character is likely as well, and I feel April is the perfect time for it, and could be used to lead into the release of DQ11S on Switch too).

But either E3 or VGAs, both are the perfect venue for Nintendo and Xbox to team up, and VGAs on a stage in front of a live audience no less, that was pretty awesome for Joker, could be great for Banjo too. Buuuuut, E3!! At E3 it's just Microsoft and Nintendo, no Sony, that's the most perfect opportunity for a crossover right there!

If it's up to me for announcements, I'd say, Erdrick in April, Banjo-Kazooie in June (E3), a new Capcom fighter perhaps in the Fall (Leon or Monster Hunter maybe?), and the final reveal at the VGAs should be... Sans from Undertale, heheheh.

Really, as long as we get Banjo-Kazooie I don't care who the other newcomers are. Whatever, whoever, they could all be Fire Emblem characters for all I care as long as we get Banjo-Kazooie.

I think the important thing is that she isn’t claiming to be some leaker/insider. She just appears to get info sometimes that she shares, which is the case here

 

[JonSmash]

Found this picture of banjo diddy & conker aswell as wizpig

 

[Deleted member]

Did i mentioned you?

That's quite rude.


Anyways I have a good feeling that Banjo will be DLC, Let's see what happens.

 

[TheBeastHimself]

Does anyone know what Nintendo and Rare's relationship has been ever since the buyout? Like have they ever publicly communicated again or have they been giving each other the cold shoulder the last couple of decades?

 

[SuperiorYoshi87]

Rare re-tweeted K. Rools reveal trailer and said how happy they were one of their old creation's got into Smash, it's the only thing I've seen of them agknowledging one another

 

[TheAnvil]

There's a reference to their relationship as "enduring" in Hey Pikmin.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

In any case, we'll be seeing Jokers more than anything, since globally-popular Japanese franchise options are starting to run dry.

At this point, there is no reason not to include western 3rd party characters in Smash. Almost all the big Japanese names are in Smash, and almost anybody left that isn't in yet that's on their level is western:

Banjo & Kazooie
Crash Bandicoot
Spyro
Rayman
Master Chief
Steve
Lora Croft (Even though she is owned by Square-Enix, she is a western character in origin just like , , and .)
Kratos
Ezio Auditore

Hmm... who else am I missing?

Really, as long as we get Banjo-Kazooie I don't care who the other newcomers are. Whatever, whoever, they could all be Fire Emblem characters for all I care as long as we get Banjo-Kazooie.

I would love to get Goemon, Banjo & Kazooie, Dixie Kong, and Porky in the Season Pass. But if we just get Banjo, I'm calling it a day because I already got and so just one more of my wants, notably Goemon or Banjo & Kazooie would satisfied me completely for the roster for this game.

 

[Rubberfrog]

With all the evidence stacked up for B-K, I can't help but consider the possibility that the Duck Hunt base could be used as another potential newcomer. B-K is the one that makes the most sense, but others it could be are Spyro, the dog thing from Okami, another Pokemon, or even Crash Bandicoot if you consider the whole "Duck Hunt standing up" thing.

Duck Hunt is a animal duo, so Banjo & Kazooie would be the only logical characters that would be made from a Duck Hunt base since they're a animal duo as well.

True, yet I’ve seen suggestions that Joker is using Duck Hunt as a base solely because of the Persona summons being similar to DH’s Gunman move.

However, a counter to this would be and .

does not have a wall jump yet does.

On a more extreme example: can crawl yet can’t ( can wall cling though)

My point with these comparisons is that stats can change.

I thought them using a current character as a base was just because they have a similar body type to the new character they are creating.

That’s how it works.

That said, we should be cautious lest this turns into a Red Herring.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Not sure if Earthworm Jim counts, since he's a formerly-big mascot like B-K are.

 

[Mr. Stagg]

It is getting a little hard to not get hype for them now that a lot of the leakers against us were just destroyed.

 

[sm0ke]

Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

The big problem with those characters is that Mortal Kombat is banned in Japan.

Yes, I know, but these are the only remaining "big" Western names I could think of that weren't already brought up by Retro.

 

[DMTN]

Doomguy

 

[weallfloatdownhere7]

Rare follow Nintendo on Twitter. They’ve had a handful of games on the GBA and Nintendo DS that happened after the buyout. I’d say there’s never been any bad blood between the companies

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Not sure if Earthworm Jim counts, since he's a formerly-big mascot like B-K are.

Who was he a mascot for?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Who was he a mascot for?

Shiny and Interplay, in that order. Was once big enough to have his gun cameo in a game.

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

They are a Japanese company?

No, pure-bred Western. Although some of Jim's games did get released in Japan.

Oh, and I forgot about the Battletoads, with Rash being the most likely candidate.

 

[ChrisNonyminus]

Here's to hoping Banjo's announced soon.

By the way, any new updates?

 

[TheAnvil]

Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Zool was the mascot for the Amiga

I don't think so. But happy birthday dude.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Then there's Turrican for the Commodore.

On that note, I wonder what Factor 5 is up to these days.

 

[ChrisNonyminus]

I don't think so. But happy birthday dude.

Thanks!

Everyone just remember that nobody knows dlc that polar said 3 months ago. Nobody including people who say banjos leakbait and found Steve in a test build that’s just boggus not trying to bash Steve or anything

Exactly, which is why I find the idea of Erdrick being passed over for the previous Direct ludicrous. If they postponed his reveal and didn't want to overshadow the Direct, why would they not even reveal him in Japan, in which DQ is a Much Bigger Deal there?

My opinion is that everyone is still in the dark and they don't realise it. The complete opposite of the base roster leaks.

Around the 58 min mark, Imran seems to believe more Microsoft software is on the way for Switch. He also says Phil Spencer has meetings with Nintendo as a third party.

Really!? I never knew that

Spyro, but chances of him getting in before Crash is slim. Also Doomguy due to his historical significance.

If we're adding Sony characters in the mix, I would add Nathan Drake and Ratchet and Clank. Maybe Sackboy. Personally, I would want Sly Cooper more than any of them though.

EDIT: Doh! You said Spyro. Silly old me.
