Rare Replay no doubt. Having all the DKC games, DK64, DKR, the two Banjo games, and Conker all on it is way more appealing to me than Banjo remakes. Mainly because I think the aesthetic from the old games have held up and have a charm to it.
I liked that Mumbo had a larger role to play. Although solving the dinosaur families problems all for one jiggy, plus a focus on solving the inhabitants various problems was tedious, they were all neat and done well, game play wise. The onus was on you to explore every nook and cranny to find the last Unga Bunga, Terry egg, etc. Not my favourite world and far from terrible, can appreciate it for what it is.
I ALWAYS wanted to use this joke with Erdrick, so kudos to you for actually doing it.Oh yes! Erdrick is really big...
Dog, I remember seeing that picture (and one of Kazooie wearing the Claw Clamber boots) and flipping out about them for about four uninterrupted hours. Then there was an issue of Nintendo Power with Kirby 64 on the cover that had a big, meaty article on Banjo-Tooie where I saw even more. I can't remember the last time I was so excited for a game release. Maybe DKC Returns or Tropical Freeze.I freaking loved Tooie and played it wayyyyy more as a kid than Kazooie, even though I loved and beat the crap out of Kazooie. So much more you got to do and so much stuff was added in, it felt like a legit epic sequel that expanded and added onto the gameplay of Kazooie. And I'm with you Planet Cool, I freaking adored Terrydactyland. As soon as I saw this photo of Banjo as a T. Rex on the early days of the Internet:
I just HAD to get to that world when I got that game. It sucked we couldn't do more with Daddy T. Rex but I still spent so much time just stomping around the base part of that level terrorizing the Bargasauruses and laughing at the Soarsauruses' feeble attempts to attack you. Haters gonna hate.
New merch. Specially a controller holder. Apparently the same thing happend with crash and spyro before their remasters. Hopefully banjo follows the same pattern.
As someone who only played a bit of Kazooie, I saw that race in a Tooie playthrough. I know how it feels to have bull**** races like that. Diddy Kong Racing is full of that. It's honestly not very fun. These aren't challenging. They're just hard for the sake of being hard, imo.
Honestly, Diddy Kong Racing relies a lot less on rubberbanding than Mario Kart 64. If you're skilled enough, you can make the other racers eat your dust in spectacular fashion, but it (and the much more strict item system) also means you're absolutely screwed if you're not as good as the game thinks you should be. Especially since you only progress by coming in first.
Oh yeah. At least that's only hard the first time, before you figure out the gimmick. These days I can do it pretty easily on my first or second try.
I managed to beat her for the jiggy, but I can't for the life of me beat her for the cheato page. That jukebox will have to stay broken lol.
Though I can get where they're coming from. Backtracking in itself is not necessarily bad. However, having to do a huge amount of stuff for one Jiggy can be annoying. A problem with adventure games is sometimes the prize is too small for the task. You could say that stuff like Super Mario 64 doesn't have a good balance that way.
Funny thing is the rubberbanding didn't hurt me at all. They weren't too fast on its own. That's bad design, but I could easily get past it. It's when later games had a broken version of the Blue Shell that issues started to arise. Mario Kart Wii bombards you with items when you're in first place, which honestly isn't that fun. Why should you be punished super hard for... being good? It's terrible balance. Rubberbanding AI only keeps you on your feet, but doesn't make them unbeatable at any level. So I'll take that over item spam or massively unreasonable speed.
That's actually quite difficult. I would have said HD remakes if it was straight up Rare Replay (outside of the xbox games)--since then I'd just be able to play Rare Replay elsewhere if I wanted to. Diddy Kong Racing makes it tricky. Hmmm...
I think Rare Replay on Switch could happen, but it'd be like a Nintendo version with the 360 stuff getting removed and the new versions of the B-K game and Conker getting replaced with the N64 versions.Remakes of the first two games or a Rare Replay port for Switch don't really seem likely imo. The former because we already do have HD remakes in the form of the 360/Rare Replay versions. It has improved graphics and even reincorporated Stop N Swop. The latter because many of the games in Rare Replay are done through 360 backwards compatibility so it'd be really tricky to port to Switch.
If we were to get anything. I think we could get standalone Switch ports of the first two games. Banjo in Smash sounds like a pipedream, but they are heavily requested so I'm sure we'll get them at some point (whether through this dlc pass, a future one, or future Smash release).
But you know what? Even if we get nothing this E3, it's nice to see merch and many fans still supporting the old bear and bird.
I don't remember if I ever actually got that jiggy.
Everything Honey B. says in Tooie pretty much
It's possible to cheese the races by moderately tapping behind her, never in front, or else her rubberband triggers and just straight up demolishes you. Jiggy race is easy to use this trick with, but Cheato page might take a couple of attempts even with that.
The 2nd race for the Cheato Page in that world makes the first race for the Jiggy look like a walk in the park.
The key to winning the 2nd race is by letting Canary Mary stay in 1st place throughout more than half of the race and than speeding up in front of her near the very end. Otherwise, she will gain insane speed and you won't be able to beat her.
I haven't played Tooie in a long time so I don't know the full extent of that game's problems, but I have played DK64 and Yooka Laylee which are similarly criticised for the same thing, and I mostly had fun collecting the Jiggy equivalent in those games. I feel like the only time I had a problem with backtracking in any kind of game it was Hollow Knight, but I still loved exploring in that game. I guess I'm weird.
Yeah, and from what I hear, the E3 direct would be happening while people in Japan are asleep so most of the people seeing an Erdrick reveal would be Westerners. I know Nintendo can be stupid with marketing and Square Enix wants to advertise DQ to the West, but wouldn't revealing Erdrick when people in both Japan (DQ's main audience) and the West (who Square is trying to market DQ to) are awake make more sense?Oh yes! Erdrick is really big...
I mean he is the same guy who said Artorias wouldn't be good in Smash because of "body horror" or some bull**** (this was around the peak of the Google Theory stuff) and I kinda stopped watching him once he finished his Classic mode runs
Yooka-Laylee's only problem with exploration and back-tracking was the severe lack of warp-pads that Tooie had, especially considering the worlds are much larger.I haven't played Tooie in a long time so I don't know the full extent of that game's problems, but I have played DK64 and Yooka Laylee which are similarly criticised for the same thing, and I mostly had fun collecting the Jiggy equivalent in those games.

It is hilarious that this “children’s game” contains content, some even pretty overt, that can’t even be mentioned.As funny as this stuff can be, even for me, it borders inappropriate comments too easily, so let's not talk about this, please.
I think you beat all Time Trials for TT? I forget. I think you had to run over some kind of chicken or whatever for Drumstick.
Oh, definitely. I just want to keep the thread clean, that's all~
You murder a frog in cold blood for Drumstick. TT you just beat the time trials which are actually incredibly easy if you know about releasing A for the boosts.
It does seem like everything is actually pointing to Banjo for "Something". I feel all we could get is Rare Replay on Switch.
I'm pretty sure was Drumstick transformed into a frog by Wizpig.
I don't remember the details, but more specifically, you need to "drive over the frog" to unlock Drumstick. You won't find it in an area where you can use items on it or whatever. So the term murder is a tad misleading.
