Weird feeling but there is an alarming lack of bird in this post. Is Banjo going solo? Is Kazooie even going to appear?

GameXplain guy, a lot of his guesses in their videos have come true.

Kazooie is only going to appear in taunts.

I think there's even a comment in the original 4chan post saying something like "I can't believe they made Erdrick the size of Ganondorf!"
Dunno, I thought that one was funny.
Jon can be a bit of a troll at times, so I'm taking this particular one with a grain of salt. But yeah, the only time I recall him being wrong was about the date of a Nintendo Direct earlier this year. It was notably the first time he was ever wrong about a Direct date, too.

Doesn’t Jon have insider info?
TheCJBrine

He's part of GameXplain, and an admin on ResetEra. He seems to be an insider, as he has seemingly hinted at Nintendo Directs by tweeting about otters a few days before (sounds silly but it happened twice, and he did it for both of last year's September Direct's intended dates; one time his otter tweet was just for otters, though), and has made some suspicious "predictions." For example, he predicted every Final Fantasy game coming to Switch without naming one that didn't come. He also makes predictions that turn out wrong, however, so those may be genuine.

A guy from the GameXplain team. He's kind of infamous for his 'speculations' to almost always come true.

I can't wait for Banjo to be a Joker echo but instead of using a stand he uses Kazooie or turns into a dinosaur.

You forgot the Medievil 1 Remake.
The only other thing left is a remake/sequel to Psi Ops. One of the best games ever.

Here's something cool for Rayman fans: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ub...ee-copy-of-rayman-origins-for-viewers.121563/
Probably doesn't mean much for Smash, but it would be cool if they were teasing a new outing for the limbless guy.

Is it okay if I admit something? I'm kinda getting tired of all these remakes/remasters. Don't get me, it's great that new gamers can enjoy something that old gamers did (I played Battle for Bikini Bottom growing up, and I'm hyped for Rehydrated), but it seems like its gotten to the point of nostalgia pandering. I mean, Activision has proven they can make a good Crash remake, but can they make a good Crash game? A new one, at least. It's just something I want to get off my chest with all these announcements.

The way that I see it, these remakes/remasters make the games in question more accessible. Not everyone still has, or ever had, certain consoles from several generations back - I only got into games like Metal Gear Solid 3, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, or the first three Devil May Cry games through their remastered versions since I never owned a PS2.
As well, they help to gauge (or boost) interest for sequels, and give developers something to build off of if the remasters do well enough. There was a brand new level in the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and I could see that being a testing ground for making a new Crash game.

Jon also did the GameXplain video on the Banjo rumors. He doesn't debunk it like they did with the Grinch leak. I take that as a sign that he seems to think that Banjo's in. He's definitely an insider.

About Jon, another funny thing about his predictions is that, in april, when everyone was talking about directs and rumors of directs, he said he thought there was no direct coming, and smash update could simply be told through a simple isolated video.
And guess what...?
He's not classified as insider or leaker, but by now, I would pay attention to what he says.

I have just assumed that GameXplain is on Nintendo’s payroll and anything that they say is Something Nintendo wants us to get excited for and to get the idea out there.
No way you can keep getting these things right unless you are being told by the source and Nintendo never threatens any sort of legal action. Or in the very least Nintendo finding out who has been feeding them all this information and having them stop.

This is looking to be a pretty good year for gaming; Smash DLC, Death Stranding, Luigi's Mansion 3, whatever else we get at E3, and now this? Can you imagine if Metroid Prime 4 didn't get screwed up? I'll admit I never even got around to playing the original 3D Yooka-Laylee, just because I wanted to replay Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie again first, but I'm excited for this. Plus, another soundtrack from David Wise and Grant Kirkhope is an automatic win. I only worry if it can live up to the standard Tropical Freeze has set for 2D platformers.
I understand getting tired of seeing remasters instead of new games, but I'd personally really love to see the worlds of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie updated. I don't even think my dreams can capture how magnificent that would look.
Edit: I don't know what happened to my reply to the first post.

I kinda definitely think Banjo's happening now.

I've noticed that Jon has been referring to Banjo Kazooie for quite a while now. He's made lots of videos on Smash Bros where he adds a nod towards the duo at the end of some of those videos. He said something along the lines of "As long as one of them is Banjo."

Okay, so a couple things:
First, my percentage of Banjo's chances: probably around 80-90%; with everything that's happened recently, I'm getting pumped, but there's a small chunk of me that doesn't want to get his hopes up after the Grinch Leak fiasco.
Second, that new Yooka-Laylee game actually looks pretty fun; I never played the first one due to not owning a Wii U, and by the time the Switch version came out, I had heard a lot of the mixed reviews of it, so I didn't really bother. However, this actually looks like it'll be right up my alley since I really enjoy side-scrolling platformers, especially the DKC series, which this seems to resemble. Also, music by David Wise and Grant Kirkhope? YES PLEASE!

I need to stress to everyone on this board who thinks about posting, it's Banjo-Kazooie.
Banjo-Kazooie.

That's understandable. It's been extraordinarily common this generation. But if it's of an old and beloved game, I also think it's a great way to gauge interest in that series. Also they can be very exciting as well. I'd love for the remakes of Banjo Kazooie/Tooie to include the scrapped levels.

Also, otters are usually involved for extra foreshadowing, which is why I find it weird that he's using a bear this time. I don't know what to make of it all.
I appreciate them when remakes make the games even better than before. Though if there is a game that can definitely use one, it's Final Fantasy VIII, mainly because SE lost the source code for it...

Yeah I wouldn't take gamexplain as evidence of anything. We already have better sources at hand

Are you serious? Jon got a lot of things right as stated by MonkeyDLenny. Sure there are other credible leakers to go by but there isn't any reason to dismiss him entirely. In fact he adds to Banjo Kazooie's already enormous credibility at the moment.

So, apparently Imran; the Senior Editor over at Game Informer and an RE member/insider ALSO has been hearing Banjo and actually doesn't believe Erdrick rumors have any weight
Big if true

Hey there, any other leakers saying ofhinting Banjo-Kazooie are possibly in?

Everyone and their mother predicted a SE character. They never saw the actual first character coming.
Alright! Another leaker added to the list! Possibly.

According to everyone on RE he is. Although I admittedly only am just now hearing about him. Even Ryce seems to buy it

Imagine if Erdrick doesn't happen. The reactions from that are going to be amazing. The one character people thought was a lock for a whole year. Was fake all along. Gosh that might be Grinch leak 2 actually. But in this case people would be ecstatic of it was fake.

I remember watching the GameXplain Prediction video before the Nintendo Direct where they revealed Kirby's Extra Epic yarn for 3DS and he basically predicted it saying he "could see it happening" - like what?? It just shocked me that it happened, A Kirby's Epic yarn port for the 3DS was the last thing I would of expected happening. So I kind of believe him for that surprise alone.

No? From the posts I'm seeing by Ryce (unless I missed one), he thinks Imran is talking in a more speculative manner. Doesn't seem to be buying it from what I'm understanding.
