Very nice info...E3 is gonna be awesome!

If it's going to cost $200 for a 64 mini I would much prefer they just stick those 20 games on a $60 switch cart and call it a day.

It’s probably not $200...
It’ll be $400,000 to play it... for 12 seconds.

Yeah, I love the N64, but there's no way I'm shilling out $200 for a Mini version. It'll be $100 tops.

I do suggest to hype responsibly,!but.... LETS GO BOIS LETS GO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO! BANJO!

Even Gyigas is excited for Banjo.

This at least dispels the 'argument' that nobody cares about Banjo and he's forgotten except to 'oldtimers.'

Not a chance the N64 Classic Edition is $200, They have to try to keep below $100, SNES was $80 and the PS1 Classic at $100 was considered a steep price, Yes it's game line up was terrible and the emulation wasn't as good, Plus it also didn't have the "Star Power" of Nintendo IP's to really have a mass appeal in the market and to justify the $100.

Sony really screwed up and half assed their attempt at a classic system and it's been half a year since it's release and after multiple price drops stores still have piles of them on shelves, Hell I wasn't really interested in getting one because of that horrible game lineup and price (No Crash and Spyro = No Sale), But now you can find them below $40 (Got mine at $20) and build quality is very good and comes with 2 with controllers and the best part is that apparently it's super easy to hack.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'm mostly joking about the 64 Mini's price. I just understand the cost of gaming and how much it takes to license and such. I agree more than 100 is overboard. They'd have to do a crapload to get anyone to buy it at such a massive price.

Though to be fair, a console with zero games costs over 200. A console with a crapload of games costing 200 isn't as bad as people make it.

200 is the new Switch model that Nintendo totally isn't secretly hiding

You can reupload it with some editing. Thank you for double checking it had a bad word in it. We always appreciate it when people are mindful of what they post.

In other not so Banjo news, Team17 is teasing two games for next week with cryptic clues on their logo. The number 17 has a honeycomb design to it. I imagine this is for Yooka Laylee 2. Or a Capital B spin-off. As for the other game, I don't know...

Here is the link for anyone that cares. https://www.team17.com/two-new-team17-games-to-be-announced-next-week/hell-let-loose/

Aren't we supposed to get two more worlds as free DLC? I'm pretty sure we are... Capital B spin-off is more likely, I think.

I have no idea what you're saying. Fatman?

I’m confused. Why is everyone getting so pumped?

I believe the two new worlds thing is for A Hat In Time (which we already got) not Yooka-Laylee lol

Short version: New Banjo merch got teased for an E3 reveal, specifically a Banjo controller holder.

What's interesting is that this company is KNOWN for releasing these high end controller holders in tandem with big releases, and they acknowledged the pattern

 

[Brothanigus]

Not sure what to make of this boys....

He went a little deeper on that recently. It could be Banjo but there are others who fit the bill is what he said, one in particular too.

The King Zell statement was followed up by saying it would have never been possible on Nintendo before, which rules out Banjo & Kazooie--my bet is that's referring to Master Chief, not Banjo.

 

[NintenRob]

Yeah who's this Fatman?

 

[RandomAce]

The first two seem like good ideas to start off a trailer, but I'm not sure what Banjo and Bayonetta have to do with each other aside from Bayonetta being a witch. (if Bayonetta was involved in anyone's trailer, I'd think it would be Dante or a Platinum Games character)

Gruntilda is a witch, and Bayonetta is also a witch (well witch race I guess).

It’s the closest you can get to a homage to Banjo’s main villain (and Bayo would probably be the character used if there was a ever a Gruntilda spirit).

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

200 is the new Switch model that Nintendo totally isn't secretly hiding

I'm willing to bet on that and seems the most likely, With the aging 3DS in it's last year and the need for a budget/entry level system they will probably have a neutered/light Switch to cater to the younger kids market.

Not to mention they want to release and push that once Pokemon Sword and Shield come out as that will be their big holiday release.

 

[Mr. Stagg]

Looks like IGN knows whats up.

Not really anything to add to the pile but it does show the hype building around a new Banjo-kazooie game.

 

[Deleted member]

That's what i wanna know too, nothing here seems to indicate Banjo is surely in. Most of it is just too vague.

On the subject of all this Banjo merch, @SeanHicksART made this great point about the stitching on Banjo's shorts/backpack on all the merch designs and how its similar to Smash. Could totally be a coincidence but interesting nonetheless@GenosPapa @MonkeyDLenny pic.twitter.com/wmiH8Tnb2e

1. This is a neat observation
2. Apparently I've made some kind of name for myself in the Banjo community. Enough that I get tagged out of nowhere

 

[yeet123]

Wow. With all of this new stuff coming out, I’d like to remind everyone of fatmanonice’s post from awhile back.

While I would LOOOOOOOOVE if this was all about Banjo, this screams Master Chief to me

Interesting but probably nothing

 

[Planet Cool]

Why are we suddenly reconsidering Master Chief? Didn't someone from Microsoft already say in no uncertain terms that Master Chief is out?

Why would Non-Smash Banjo merchandise be modeled after his Smash appearance if that is never the protocol for other fighters? Coupled with how the F4F figure has been in production for years now, I think this is stretching.

 

[yeet123]

I know hes supposedly deconfirmed. BUT, crazier things have happened. With big rumors of MCC on Switch, as well as Xbox Live/gamepass services coming to switch, as well as Halo Infinite, AS WELL as this "red carpet rollout" of a character at e3, it seems like itd be the chief to me

 

[Datboigeno]

Yeah who's this Fatman?

He's a long-time smashboards member who is in close contact with Sabi and has been involved in private discussions between her and other people who have come forth with legit information in the past. And Sabi has a legit source at NOA.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Pretty sure it was more the point being made was that Fatman was talking about Master Chief, not actually saying he was suddenly on the table again.

I consider him out myself(with a slight hope he might be in).

 

[CosmicQuark]

The stitching I just think is a new-ish design choice, more how cartoon characters are represented this generation than anything specific to Smash.

The King Zell quote can't be Banjo given his clues, and likely means Master Chief--Sabi even mentioned Master Chief Collection. Could be what Zell meant even without Master Chief in Smash, but I also wouldn't consider him deconfirmed either. Probably the closest any character has been deconfirmed, sure, but there's always the possibility he was lying.

 

[Planet Cool]

Would the Master Chief Collection on Switch really leave Nintendo fans "cross-eyed and sweaty with excitement," though?

Playing Devil's Advocate here. Simon's design in Smash Ultimate is based around his Classic Barbarian Design. However last time Simon used that design was with a Neca Figures toy released in the mid 2000's. Simon's design in The last Castlevania games he appeared in: Harmony of Despair and Mirror of Fate, use different designs. HoD uses the Chronicles artwork as his mugshot and the NES Sprite, while Mirror of Fate uses a brand new design.

However, between 2016 and 2018, Simon went back to using his Classic Look for games like Super Bomberman R (2017) and Girmoire of Souls( announced in 2018). This out of the blue situation could simply be explained by the fact that Smash Ultimate started development in late 2015/Early 2016, and Sakurai already decided on Simon's design (Sakurai tends to go for classic looks like Mega Man and Pac-Man) and as a result Konami used it on Casltevania material that feature Simon in order to have a consistend design across all Castlevania media in order to avoid Brand Confusion. and that inlcudes a First 4 Figure released in 2016, which has the design that is pretty much the same the one Simon uses in Smash minus the Sword and Knife on the Hip.

TL;DR Sakurai choose Classic Simon and this affected his look in Castlevania media, and it was a glimpse as to how Simon would look like in Smash since those products were revealed and released after Smash Ultimate Started Development (2015/2016) but before Simon was shown in Smash (2019) Of course nobody knew at the time (but it's something i took notice back in July 2018)

It's possible the same could happen to Banjo. Also some characters are affected by Smash Designs. Roy in Fire Emblem Heroes uses his Smash Design and Bowser Jr after 4 used his Clown Car Jr FAR more often than usual in games like Mario Tennis Aces.

 

[CosmicQuark]

Some fans, sure, and anything from Microsoft on Switch would make a huge splash, particularly their (thought to be) exclusive mascot. Me, I wouldn't care, because I only had an Xbox 360 for Banjo and Rock Band.

Convincing enough. I wouldn't hold my breath on the correlation, though.

Today's been a roller coaster. This morning, we were all super sure Banjo is in Smash and he's getting at least one new game at E3. Now, not only is Banjo not happening apparently, but Master Chief is back on the table.

 

[Zipzter]

Just noticed that the old Banjo-plush we've seen tossed about this thread shows up in Rare's canine-themed charity calendar. Neat.

Is it a coincidence that Banjo shows up in the E3 month of June?

I mean we've had coincidences before with the whole Rathalos picture that looked like it was from Golden Sun and Skull Kid seemingly replaced by the Moon as an assist.

 

[MissingGlitch]

Everything is a coincidence until proven otherwise.

 

[Planet Cool]

I like it better when we're hype, personally.
