Hey im just visiting this website for today and tomorrow

Heres why im confident banjo has a big chance. I bet phil spencer Inquired nintendo if they could make a deal for banjo in super smash bros. And nintendo could do alot with a deal like that like, rare replay on switch and, classic rare games for a nintendo 64 little edition. Since sakurai claims nintendo is choosing the options for him banjo had to be one of them and you know how hes is a sucker for unique move styles and banjo really sticks out with that. Hes also a big retro character from that unique era too they had to choose him
Welcome to the thread! Here’s hoping tomorrow has what we want!

Banjo and Kazooie bretheren,

Even if they don't appear in tomorrow's direct, or even at all, we shouldn't take that as defeat. Banjo and Kazooie have been talked about more than I ever have ever seen them in years and it's now more clear than ever we want the Bear and Bird back.

They may take our character slot, but they will never take our hope!

I'm seeing a lot of people say they don't want Banjo because he is a Duck Hunt clone. It's really annoying because that's in no way true.

I don’t think Shinobi would be hinting at a mii costume. Everyone treats mii costumes as a death sentence for a character until maybe the next game, just like assist trophies. He’d also face a lot of hate from fans as if he was completely wrong.

Reminds me of the very late 2000's / early 2010's when people said we don't need Mega Man because "he'd just be a Samus clone."

Ok serious question:

How many people have leaked the following Ultimate newcomers?
:ultincineroar:-
:ultisabelle:-
:ultsimon:-
:ultridley:-

Because right now, Banjo has a total of atleast 3 insiders backing him up.

I remember people saying K. Rool would just be a Bowser Echo if he got in and than they turned around and say how unique he is when he got in. Lol! They're going to react the same to Banjo & Kazooie.

Horrible thought incoming
is there a chance shinobi could be talking about a mii costume?
Listen here Zilla-Kazooie, even worse thought: What if banjo really is in smash but he's just a spirit?

No!

This is unacceptable lol but seriously Banjo is in. Grab your honeycombs and collect some jiggies!

Here's a fun game:

C2A98654-C3D1-4519-BD36-C60014087DE9.jpeg


1) Red Button: No Banjo
Blue Button: You get Banjo but he's Fat Banjo from the beginning of Nuts and Bolts

2) Red Button: No Banjo
Button: Conker comes in cussing up a storm and getting drunk. He's heavily censored and takes the next slot in the fighter pass

3) Red Button: No Banjo
Blue Button: Yooka Laylee come take the slot instead


What buttons are you pressing, boys and gals?

King K. Rool is a Bowser clone because they're both big lizards.
Simon is a Mario clone because they're both human men.

EDIT: ^ I'd press the blue button in all three cases. I'd press it with gusto for Yooka and Laylee.

:ultincineroar:-
:ultisabelle:-
:ultsimon:-
:ultridley:-
You forgot :ultken:, who had a image leak on top of insiders.

As for the rest:
:ultincineroar: - Pretty much every insider to the point of them calling Grinch fake because he wasn't in it.
:ultisabelle:-I think just Verge?
:ultsimon:-Some poor Nintendo intern. Insiders is basically just Verge.
:ultridley:-Almost everyone once Verge came onto the scene.

I know Vergeben mentioned all four, but I remember at least one insider saying something about knowing even K. Rool due to seeing the directs early, and of course Jonneh and maybe someone else teased Ridley on ResetEra.

An alternative to option 1:

Project Dream: Banjo is in!
Project Nightmare: His moveset, stage, spirits and literally everything that comes from him is exclusively from Nuts & Bolts.

Say, guys, what would Banjo-Kazooie's stage entrance be, as in how would they get onto the stage at the beginning of each fight?
I could see them teleporting in like when they enter a zone in their games and maybe do a pose. Banjo could laugh, Gu-huh, and Kazooie can go beerrEEEEEEE!

I think it'd be hilarious if they fell onto the stage like they do in the games when they fall a big height.

1. Like everyone says, entrance warp from Banjo-Kazooie
2. Kazooie Talon-trots up and lets Banjo down
3. Like Ctoan Ctoan said, they fall from a big height and come crashing down before picking themselves back up
4. The walk out of a note door that vanishes behind them
5. They leap into place, making the sound as if they just used a Jump pad

Ok here’s a B&K challenge. Wish I did this at the 24 hour mark so ima a bit late.

After every hour passes, you must go “Uh-huh!” In Banjo’s voice and then “Burreeeee!!” in Kazooie’s voice. I know many of you will be heading to bed in a few hours but the real challengers sets their alarms to wake them up per hour.

Ready?

Go!

10 minutes to the first Uh-Huh/Bureee chimes.

Depends on what you mean by "leaked", since Banjo's only rumored, then I guess rumors count.

Only going by memory, so it's rough:
:ultincineroar:- Verge and every insider following the Grinch banner
:ultisabelle:- Verge
:ultsimon:- Verge and the Smash website (legitimate leak)
:ultridley:- Verge, and a couple other insiders. Forget who precisely.

I'd say only two leakers back Banjo - Shinobi and Verge (as with the above, that's a pretty good sign). Imran, NateDrake and GameXplain are taking Shinobi seriously. Imran's comments were a bit confusing, whether he was referring to Shinobi or his other sources. So, if the latter, than he'd be the third.

So that Steve photo, has it been debunked? ngl it looks legit.
The one on Peach's Castle? I believe we discussed that the text being off-kilter and Steve's model encroaching on the UI are clear indicators of its... questionability, let's say.

Still no backpedaling or further comments from Shinobi. He knows what he's doing.

And he does not strike me as someone who'd troll the fans if Banjo is only a Mii costume, especially when he's putting his reputation on the line.

I'm curious to see if we'll hear from Verge in the 11th hour or if some hapless Nintendo employee screws up like they did with Simon.

Sheesh, just yesterday I was scrolling through my community feed on my Xbox One and read a Banjo related post and saw a comment of someone saying Banjo is "just Duck Hunt with shorts." (And someone else said he should be a Steve costume...) Anyone who thinks Banjo would be a clone of Duck Hunt needs to go play some Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie.

I've been checking out this thread constantly for the past few days, and as a K. Rool main myself I'm totally with all of you. Hoping to see the bear and the bird have their finest hour tomorrow!

Thanks for the engaging banter, y'all.
