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

[Ovaltine]

As someone who was hoping more for Rare Replay than a remake, I'm okay with this. There's not a market for Banjo on Xbox the way there is on Nintendo.

Now if Sabi would just confirm Banjo for Smash already.

Yeah, I wasn't going to look for spoilers, but hell, I don't care now. My pessimism is boiling over and I just want to know at this point. Banjo being a no-show at the Xbox conference doesn't mean he's out, but it's definitely a point of fear for me. Hopefully, Sabi gives us some good news...

 

[JonSmash]

No Banjo at Xbox E3 but battle toads with a new look RIP gamestop guna get a lot of calls about battle toads

 

[~The Koopa King~]

if banjo's not at the direct then what will be the explanation for all the sudden banjo merchandise?

 

[EricTheGamerman]

Everything went about as expected for Microsoft’s conference. The usual Forza, Gears, Halo, and some indies all while gushing about power and graphics and then having the most exciting moments of the conference to be just the usual third party stuff like The Outer Worlds and Cyberpunk 2077 (lol at Keanu though).

They didn’t spend a whole lot of time taking this year, but I also don’t feel I saw much new or interesting either. A middle of the road showing for Microsoft per usual.

And as I predicted, no Banjo anywhere to be seen and no mention of Nintendo elated anything. Let’s see what Tuesday brings.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Well, what a surprise, no Steve reveal.

This was their last chance. There's obviously no window of opportunity to announce him as playable now, if he was even planned at all.

At least I finally got to see some Battletoads gameplay.

 

[Noipoi]

One day left bros, you can’t give up hope during the final stretch!

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Guys, chill. Panic if Banjo Kazooie don't appear on Tuesday.

 

[Banjoisawesome2020]

Guess we will have to wait till Tuesday. Thanks again Nintendo. Though, the Fake Smash Ball hint...could be for Banjo.

 

[Extrain]

0% Banjo or Rare. I guess that journalist did only say it was reported back in February and under talks. It didn't make sense (in captain hindsight) for anything smash related to be shown, but a new Banjo game or something would've been cool. Cyberpunk2077 2077 was magnifique.

Still, this is a major hit because nothing prefacing banjo's revival was shown Q_Q

Nintendo ends up being the final destination, rightfully so.

I heavily doubt the fake smash ball meant anything

 

[EricTheGamerman]

Money. Plain and simple. They saw a chance to exploit nostalgia and they did.

 

[Dyamanttine]

Actually, its a good thing. It means the Banjo merchandise and features at E3 are more likely tied to Nintendo. Its looking like Banjo is in Smash and thats it. I'd be 100% okay with that.

I already said this once, this is totally a good thing, but after the direct if Banjo doesnt come home, i'm afraid i will have to finally give up rooting for them because it hurts me alot

 

[MonkeyDLenny]

Well, it was fun while it lasted guys. I've been championing Banjo for weeks now but now all the wind is out of my sails. It ain't happening, we're stuck with Erdrick.

 

[andree123]

Is Exquisite Gaming still silent about something about promotion related to Banjo?

 

[Organization XIII]

if banjo's not at the direct then what will be the explanation for all the sudden banjo merchandise?

Rare has started merchandising it's older properties to make more money.

 

[weallfloatdownhere7]

Jeez everyone out here acting like there were ever any rumors of a new Banjo game coming and then acting all doom and gloom when one didn’t get announced.

LOGIC

 

[TheCJBrine]

I’m expecting Banjo ports to the Switch and a Nintendo version of Rare Replay now.

I was hoping for a remaster (and kinda expected it with supposed rumors) but I think Switch ports would be a big enough deal to accompany B-K’s Smash inclusion.

 

[Violante]

This was the expected outcome for me. I would just be thankful none of the insiders said that a Banjo revival game was happening along with a Smash announcement, otherwise we'd really be in trouble.

 

[Seanapotamus]

Who was it that said Miamoto was gonna be at the thing?
Cuz I swear I heard it somewhere.

JeuxVideo reported it, but it didn't happen.

 

[~The Koopa King~]

Rare has started merchandising it's older properties to make more money.

is banjo really the character companies would be getting super rich from?

 

[MissingGlitch]

Weird how Rare was 100% absent. They normally at least shill the newest Sea of Thieves update.

 

[theromfather]

Im aware no new banjo game or remake was teased or leaked, but it just didn't make sense in my mind for there to be all this merch for a DLC character coming to smash without some kind of tie-in. Only thing I can think of is a Rare Replay port to the Switch that may be revealed at the Direct on Tuesday.
Either way, as long as my bear and bird come to Smash, I will be satisfied.

 

[spoilerowl]

With Microsoft E3 behind us, all that's left is Nintendo. As for leaks, now we wait for Sabi to give us some Nintendo news. Her source is legit considering how much Microsoft stuff was correct so I'd keep an eye on his Twitter/Discord.

Up to now, with Shinobi, Verg, and the rest I've been hopeful but not expectant for Banjo coming to Smash. But if Sabi confirms Banjo, I'm going all-in on the hype train, whether it crashes and burns or reaches its destination.

 

[Rosalina suporter]

Nothing Banjo related was shown ,That's very interesting guess all we got left is the direct.

 

[Banjoisawesome2020]

Unless they chose Stupid Steve cause they care not for their fan base at all. If they cared, then they would've acknowledged us at the conference by teasing us with Banjo! NOT LEAVE US WAITING!

 

[BZocky]

Weird how Rare was 100% absent. They normally at least shill the newest Sea of Thieves update.

Battletoads was there!

 

[Noipoi]

Did verge say Banjo was 99% likely to get a remake? No.

Did Shinobi say we’re in for sequel-ing good time? No.

They have all been referring to Smash.

Wait until Tuesday, guys.

 

[Datboigeno]

Well, it was fun while it lasted guys. I've been championing Banjo for weeks now but now all the wind is out of my sails. It ain't happening, we're stuck with Erdrick.

So the shinobi leaks now mean nothing to you?

 

[MissingGlitch]

I knew this thread would get like this. Banjo doesn't need a new game to get into smash. And all of you were making it seem like it he didn't get a new game he wouldn't be coming to smash. Chill please.

 

[StrawHatX]

Damn..... I just watched that whole thing as somebody that doesn’t play Xbox and only plays Nintendo for console gaming.

I thought Miyamoto was supposed to be there. Oh well..... This doesn’t really hurt Banjo’s Smash chances as that was always going to be revealed at Nintendo’s presentation. Was just hoping for some Banjo related stuff.

I’m surprised they didn’t mention anything Nintendo with their recent relationship..

 

[Extrain]

I don't get why you'd loose hope now when none of our sources implied Banjo would be at the Xbox conference.

I wouldn't say hope is lost, its more-so a hit due to banjos revival of any-kind being nonexistent at Microsofts E3 (not smash). Unless the pipe dream of Nintendo taking ownership of Banjo is true. More realistically, Banjo isn't getting revived at all and may end up a character in smash. Thats it.

Hypothetically this wouldn't matter at all though because the characters would've been decided on some time ago. It's more of a "how much attention is he getting?" thing.

 

[SuperiorYoshi87]

Why is everyone so down? Who actually thought we'd get anything from a MS conference... anything related to Nintendo will be shown by Nintendo on Tuesday...

 

[Organization XIII]

is banjo really the character companies would be getting super rich from?

Doesn't matter. People buy game trinkets and memorabilia more than ever and Banjo is the highest profile character Rare owns.

 

[Geoffrey Druyts]

The GameXplain video telling Nintendo fans to watch the Microsoft E3 show is gone too...

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Seriously you guys really need to chill out. Nintendo's E3 hasn't started yet and most of you guys are giving up on the first hurdle! Pull yourselves together!

 

[Leotsune]

If Banjo isn't even mentioned this tuesday, after ALL this... I don't think my heart could take it.

 

[Nap_]

No funny animals at MS conference, let's wait for Nintendo. The goal is still the same. I was expecting something about the pair or Nintendo related, some examples of colaboration. Less than 48 hours to see if the big N has someting to say for this thread.

 

[dezeray112]

Just finished watching the Microsoft conference (in which I'm somewhat disappointed as none of the games seem to offer anything new and it was nowhere as good as last years conference) and there were no signs of any Banjo announcement. Guess we'll find out until Tuesday.

 

[Bianchi]

I have been a lurker here for a few months. Huge banjo fan. The lack of any Banjo announcement just now really hurt. While there's still a chance Banjo and Kazooie are in Smash I think we really need to consider the possibility that they won't be. I'm starting to lose hope after being on this hype train since Melee.

 

[Banjoisawesome2020]

Did verge say Banjo was 99% likely to get a remake? No.

Did Shinobi say we’re in for sequel-ing good time? No.

They have all been referring to Smash.

Wait until Tuesday, guys.

Pfft, yeah right. If Nintendo cared at all for us Banjo fans, THEY WOULD'VE TEASED SOMETHING BY FLIPPING NOW!
