I think people are getting more worked up about the people being a little disappointed about a revival not happening than the people who were disappointed about the lack of a revival in the first place. Yes the sky isn't falling. We know there's a 99% banjo will appear in the Nintendo Direct. Carry on

It ALWAYS hinged on Nintendo's direct at E3.

If Banjo ain't there, then that's it. He's not in. But Microsoft was always a massive reach given the circumstances.

Y'all need to calm the **** down. I'm about as pessimistic for Banjo being revived as anyone can be (within reason) and this literally means jack ****.

None of the leaks made ANY mention of new games or remasters. It was just a massive reach you all made. If anything, this helps, as there can be NO CONFUSION now. Shinobi and Vergeben's info wasn't to be confused with a new Banjo game or a remake somehow.
Shinobi is the only real leaker here. Vergeben literally piggybacked Shinobi. Lmfao
And yes, Shinobi strictly mentioned Smash. Nothing on a game per se

Vergeben posted a massive leak on Gamefaqs earlier today and a fair amount of it has already come true. Sabi also verified that he was not piggybacking

Yes.
If you see a picture of Shinobi saying something against banjo or that he wasn't teasing him, it's a fake picture, there is no source of such comment in reality. Just warning, so you don't go in panic. This is the fake picture:...
Sorry to bother you but wasn't your signature part of a illustration with the whole roster? I found the Deviant gallery of the artist but I don't see BK or Sephirot. Where can I find it?

Like, Banjo being in Smash would be Nintendo asking Microsoft if they could use the IP for the character. This has nothing to do with his series being revived. Things are NOT always cross-promotional guys. Persona 5 didn't just come out when Joker was released. It was two freaking years old! Persona 5 isn't even releasing on the Switch! There is ZERO correlation between Smash DLC and promotional material, literally save for Corrin. Ryu wasn't. Bayonetta wasn't. Cloud wasn't. Joker wasn't. Banjo wouldn't be either.
This. Like a million times.

I cannot think of any newcomer in Smash history who was revealed alongside an announcement aside from :ultcorrinf::ultisabelle:. Everyone else ended up making the roster on their own terms with no future release backing them, even the third party characters. Why is everyone throwing in the towel know when logically speaking Banjo and Kazooie are still very much in the running for Smash?

Like, if you were hoping for a remake of the original duology or Banjo-Threeie to be announced, that's understandable, but that has no impact on Smash.

As long as none of the current insiders/leakers vouching for Banjo start backpedaling or saying the opposite, I’m expecting Banjo-Kazooie ports on the Switch, maybe Rare Replay, and B-K in Smash on Tuesday.

Not Banjo related but I'm not digging the new Battletoads game. I think they nailed the music, but everything else doesn't scream Battletoads to me.

Also they did Dark Queen dirty. She looks like that one Kim Possible villain but purple and poorly drawn.
You mean Shego?


Frickin oof, Banjo’s okay, he’s just unconscious until Tuesday.
Let's hope he doesn't encounter Gruntilda from stopping him from getting to the Direct.

PSA: A Smash fighter announcement, even that of a character from a third-party company, is made by Nintendo, not by the third-party company. Remember this if you go in expecting Smash info in other companies' E3 presentations.

Shinobi has yet to backpedel on his post. Until he does or a credible leaker suggests it's someone else, I have no reason to doubt him. All of the leaks and rumors were about him being in SMASH, not new games.

Banjo being a no show at Microsoft's event doesn't mean a godamn thing. Banjo's chances are the same as they were a day ago.

What do you think the phrase will be when banjo gets announced? I'm thinking "Banjo and Kazooie get Jiggy with it!"

This rollercoaster ride has only been amping up, but now we have a lull until Tuesday unless more leaker shenanigans happen.

Oh, well if Erdrick isn’t announced at the Square conference, I guess he’s not in Smash. Wrap it up guys, let’s go home.

To be fair nobody was expecting a Smash announcement at Microsoft’s conference. Banjo fans were just hoping to see something Banjo related there. Whether it was a new game announcement or the first two games being available to play on Switch via Xbox live or whatever.

I agree this doesn’t mean anything in terms of his Smash chances. And who knows, maybe if he’s announced as a DLC Fighter by Nintendo then we’ll get news on what Rare is doing next.

Sakurai flat out said the character would be revealed at Nintendo's direct. Literally who expected Banjo's trailer to be revealed today?

Now is the time for everyone to start regaining their beliefs, and to get back in the game, they are coming so everyone lets join hands and stay calm...

Hype deflated. No new Banjo game, banjo's chances feel like they're slipping back down to Geno/Isaac levels. After the Grinch leak, and this, I cannot take much more heartbreak.

Anyway, on to Tuesday!

By 1PM eastern, June 11th, all questions will be answered. Either pop open the champagne or light the torches. Just don't pop the torches and light up the champagne.


Although I can see why people are getting doom gloom. It literally all boils down to Tuesday.

But don't be the doom and/or the gloom. Be optimistic and relaxed. Nothing was on the table today. Nothing was planned as do or die today. So everyone and everything is back to how it was 12 hours ago.

Just take it in stride and be realistic. And start figuring out what time you'll be downloading Banjo-Kazooie fighter 72 on Tuesday. I'll wait til later in the week as servers will probably be a taaaaad busy.
