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

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Let's consider the following: what if we don't get a Microsoft character?

I mean, it's obvious how Smash devs stick to the comfort zone of negotiating with Japanese devs. Plus, Sak had said that this time he chose DLC characters based on whether they are realisable with the resources they have. B-K could be too complex in application for said resources, and Steve could be far too unusual and weird to make with said resources.

For all we know, both could end up as Mii costumes, and no one would win.

Yeah. Simon was popular in America while Richter was popular in Japan if I recall. That's why we got both.

He said that yes but he also called Bayonetta the ballot winner. I don't really think Simon got in due to being massively popular so much as Sakurai liked Simon being in Smash and already working with Konami. If anything his ballot placement was just a convenient extra.

No, actually it was because he based a lot of Simon's moves on Richters so he decided to just add both.

Meanwhile, it was apparently said in a Famitsu article that Alucard would have been picked (being the most popular CV character), but Sak reconsidered by acknowledging that fans would prefer a Belmont to get in first.

That'd be pretty funny actually. Everyone and their mother claiming Steve is coming, only for no Microsoft character to be announced. I'd still mourn for banjo tho.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

He’s gonna look horrible if we get Steve despite him pushing for Banjo all these years

I think we all know Phil and Sakurai would both choose Banjo & Kazooie as the Microsoft rep. But if anybody else get's in from Microsoft besides the bear and bird, it will be NOJ's choice. It would be a poor decision by them since both Phil and the fans want to see Banjo & Kazooie.

God, I can’t take much more of this emotional roller coaster. One minute it’s looking bad for the bear and bird, another minute we’re getting some grand revelation to support them! Please let this be their time to shine!

Reminds me of the days I was supporting wolf in smash 4 dlc

It reminds me of the days I was supporting K. Rool and Ridley during Brawl and Smash 4.

Imagine if version 3.00 rolls out and reveals a Steve mii costume.

Smash fans minds would explode because it would be a sign that Banjo & Kazooie are coming since Master Chief is also out of consideration.

Hey guys this was polarpandas response to me if brave was banjo...

“It’s certainly possible”

We can still do it!

Man it’s nice to have an insider not immediately shut down Banjo for a change

 

[Swop]

Someone needs to Photoshop Banjo on this carton of milk found in Cloud Cuckoolands' trash can.

I'll do you one better, I made this awhile back and posted it on Twitter last December.

Here's hoping that this is true for a variety of reasons.

1) being able to play Cuphead and Ori & the Blind Forest on the go would be amazing.

2) it could lead to Rare Replay on the Switch.

Ah yes...as a grizzled veteran of the Great Ridley Wars I remember those days. We were severely pinned down during the battle of pyrosphere...Lost a lot of good men that day. Thought that was gonna be it.

But I'll never forget...on June 12 2018...we won

*salutes as a single tear runs down cheek*

 

[TheAnvil]

Blows my mind that Rare Replay wouldn't be their first Switch release. Ori and Cuphead are fine, but Rare Replay is such a no brainer...

[TyrantLizardKing]

I think we should be skeptical that this means good things for Banjo, honestly.

The fact they're running head first in with Ori instead of Rare Replay concerns me that they don't see the value of Rare on Nintendo again. If that's the case then I doubt they care enough to add Banjo over craphead.

Moreso them just playing it safe. Rare Replay is a no-brainer for Switch, Ori is just getting top billing because of its critical acclaim in the industry previously. I myself don't care for super artsy games like that so long as they give me Cuphead on Switch eventually.

 

[Rubberfrog]

I could see them saving Rare Replay for a Banjo announcement.

It's also a really good Metroidvania. I played through the original on Steam; my only complaint is that dungeons are sealed off after you beat them (which is the only thing keeping me from 100% completion), though apparently the remastered version fixes that.

 

[ChinaCat]

I could totally see that. It could be a nice big announcment with fanfare and all that jazz. I wonder if they'd lead off the announcment with Rare replay then do a "wait theres more" banjo to smash reveal

 

[LogFrog]

And you know what, considering if the JFG and Blast Corps spirits get put in along with other Rare series spirits potentially, that’s a pretty sound idea.

 

[dlewis53]

Hey guys, a new patch just dropped and I was wondering: does anyone know if Nintendo put out patchnotes for which characters have changed?

Also, farewell and good luck, Reggie.

No kidding, an island in a sea of "Let's all love Vergeben! Vergeben! Vergeben!".

so is a virtual console and we all see how that went lol

At least Rare Replay comes in a physical package.

Really? Because the brief details I got were that as well as "Various gameplay fixes", which seems to translate to fixes to characters.

None of the characters were balanced.
Source: Replays are still functional

Though in terms of game crashes, maybe???

More sources on Ori and the Blind Forest coming to the Switch, including a publisher.

https://mynintendonews.com/2019/02/...d-forest-looks-to-be-published-by-thq-nordic/

This is looking more and more legitimate, and I'm excited for the possibilities.

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Never played Ori, but I've heard its good. The stars are aligning in ways we've never seen before, so it's hard to not get too excited!

 

[Lycan Rex]

With all this Xbox x switch news happening, not having banjo in smash (as a fighter) will go down as the biggest missed opportunity in gaming history. Don't let us down Nintendo!

 

[MissingGlitch]

And all this is supposed to be announced next month maybe? Dang I wonder what we have in store for E3 if Microsoft and Nintendo are throwing in their whole hands for some random conference.

All I can see is...something big.

If Doug Bowser has to prove himself as Nintendo's new US spokesperson president, E3 is the best time for that.

Side note, that’s one of the greatest movies of all time.

 

[ChinaCat]

I'm feeling grinch leak levels of anticipation right now and the last time i felt this excited i was crushed. I dont know how to feel with all of this news of nintendo & Xbox as bffs.

Also, just realized about the supporters list. If you wouldn't mind adding me as well to that. Thanks.

Except that wasn't from anything official (the grinch leak). This on the other hand, clearly is happening and the possibilities are actually there for legit reasons.

I see this happening as a Direct instead of the GDC. Maybe if it was a direct detailing how all this fits together. Cuphead, and Ori could be some of the first games launching with Rare Replay and a Banjo-kazooie fighter reveal to link it all together.

To help with your feelings, I can say this:
The Grinch leak was a well-crafted image linked to a marketing company and a 4chan post. That was it. This time, we have source after source after source claiming that this is happening. Gamerchick, Ori and Cuphead, the N64 Classic, Game Pass in Switch, its all aligning.
Another big thing is the lacknof evidence AGAINST what's coming. Circa Grinch, the Ken+Incineroar leak was the main contender, and leakers all around were saying the Grinch leak was fake. And it was.
But this time, I haven't seen but a few whiney haters making claims on why this isn't happening. Find a well-credited source that say MS and Nintendo aren't teaming up. I dare you.

 

[MissingGlitch]

It is kinda strange how rare replay wouldn't be the first thing to be ported over. Would make me think they are saving it for something. Ori and Cuphead are cool. But they aren't long lost Nintendo icons, so I find it kinda strange how no one is saying anything about rare replay yet.

 

[Deleted member]

Idk, to me, all the Nintendo and Microsoft collaboration feels more like proof that Banjo is legit happening in Smash.

Hear me out on this: Only reason they even GOT to this point in collaboration, was BECAUSE they at some point negotiated for Banjo, and that bridged a gap between the two companies which then led to numerous other projects. I mean, it's been what? 3-4 years since the ballot? Yet, it's only ever been SINCE then that Nintendo and Microsoft have suddenly been very buddy buddy all of the sudden.

Maybe I'm an optimist, I mean it's not like I haven't been wrong before, but that's just the way I perceive it personally.

 

[Substitute]

Isn't Rare Replay not really possible since it heavily relies on Xbox 360 emulation? I believe that might be a big reason why it's on the Xbox One Game Pass but not the Windows 10 Game Pass.

I think it was because it was before the "play anywhere" program. So they never bothered to bring it to Windows 10.

Actually Rare Replay isn’t part of Game Pass (the 360 games minus Perfect Dark are)

My guess is because Rare Replay has separate versions of the 360 games than the normal program.

 

[Opossum]

So obviously take it with a grain of salt because it's just speculation on my part, but...

Okay, so one thing that may point against "Banjo is in because of the X-Box Game Pass" may be that the deal came too late to impact Smash, but...with signs pointing toward Joker having a female alt that has yet to be seen in-game, likely tying into an updated Persona 5 port, that doesn't seem likely. I'd think a multi-company deal like this would take longer to get off the ground than an updated port of P5.

In general I think a lot of people saying something is "too new" are making generalizations because of Rex and Springman, but I'd argue the Rex and Springman situations are not really comparable for a few reasons.

I'm still not 100% confident on Banjo being in, or any Microsoft character in general, but if Rare games are included on the service, I think it increases his odds quite a bit.

Best piece of advice; try to stay occupied by not going on gaming sites much until something happens.

 

[LogFrog]

I’m not sure how this works, but if you launch a 360 game on Rare Replay you can hold the start button to go back to Rare Replay. Also, there are seperate versions of the Rare 360 games which have the Rare Replay logo in the game icon. Just thought these were worth mentioning.
