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

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Maybe they just feel like giving deadlines to the public would put too much pressure on the team? I have no idea...

That seems accurate. People would only get even more angry if a dev street date isn't met and gets pushed back, too.

Hmm, yes and no. I feel like as long as it's properly explained, like the Metroid Prime 4 and Animal Crossing situations, people can be understanding.

For one, I would rather Sword and Shield get delayed so they could fix the issues with that game. But that's neither here nor there.

Remember, people, if amiibo theory is right, we just have two more months until we stop being BK supporters and become BK mains.

Two months is nothing compared to 20 years. Never forget that.

 

[TheZoologist]

I don't buy amiibo theory, particularly hard amiibo theory which states we'll be getting extra characters. That being said, the only thing I'm curious about it is estimating when we'll be getting Banjo & Kazooie's amiibo. It's one of those surreal aspects of their inclusion that I can't believe is now inevitable. I promised it a year ago, and I'll keep it--they will be the first amiibo I ever get (after having dismissed amiibo in the past) and will probably get Mario, Link, Pokemon Trainer, Sonic, Mega Man and PAC-MAN to go along with our bear and bird duo.

Ooo, you'd pretty much have the amiibo I've gotten! My amiibo collection consists of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Link (and several other Link/Legend of Zelda amiibo for Breath of the Wild purposes, including Toon Link for Smash amiibo), King Dedede, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Ryu! I need to get Pokemon Trainer myself, but I'm absolutely getting Banjo & Kazooie as well. I can't believe they'll finally have amiibo! I also preordered a Totaku model as well which hopefully will be out before the holidays!

I really hope B&K are good. I mean, it’s okay if they’re ass, I’ll still play them, but I just want to see them on a stage like EVO so bad. That would be so amazing... I still can’t even fathom they’re coming to the game sometimes.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Man, I had a dream last night about a game that starred Banjo-Kazooie. They actually both had voice actors in this dream, but I barely remember all the details, except some characters, including Gruntilda were missing.

 

[Banjoisawesome2020]

I guess the big difference between this year and last year is that last year, they were in the middle of the pre-release period and the game was coming out in a few months. If they were hoping to announce every character before the game came out, they needed to get them out there quickly. (it's telling that the Direct that was announced at EVO last year gave us five new characters, even if three were echo fighters)

This year, there's not really the same sense of urgency - as far as we know, there are only two DLC fighters left, and they have roughly half a year to spread those announcements out. (at the very least, four or five months)

Still, could've ha e shown Banjo's release window.

 

[Dee Dude]

You know how each of the DLC Spirit boards have their own series aesthetic so far?

has the background of Mementos

uses a unique map that places the spirits on.

What if for ‘s board, they used Banjo’s house as the background aesthetic and use the character portraits for the Spirits?

Unless they go the boring/safe route and simply use the Jiggy background from the end of their trailer or Spiral Mountain lol.

I think it will be a hybrid. Both DLC boards so far use the stage as background, but with "something" in between - the aesthetic lines and the map, respectively.

It might be a "puzzle-piece board", like Jiggiwiggy's challenges, in a way, and have Spiral Mountain behind it.

Short funny video using Wander Over Yonder.

 

[ze9]

I want Banjo's spirit board to resemble the pause screen. A blurried spiral mountain in the background, and the black bubbles with the white text describing the spirits in the foreground. Maybe with just the spirit's head instead of the whole picture.

Amiibo theory seems to be more related to the timing of the character releases than with the identity of the last two.

The theory goes that character releases coincide with the month (or at least, are close-by) of a new amiibo batch. PP released two weeks apart from three amiibo (forgot whose, sorry), same for Joker and Hero.

Going by that, the next three amiibos release in late September, literally the last days of Summer. meaning Banjo probably releases within two weeks after that, in early October.

I only noticed it after Hero came out and realized that an amiibo wave was a few days before that. Then I looked up the previous releases:

Base game and wave 1 come out same day.

Plant is out the end of January, wave 2 (which actually has plant) was February 15th.

Joker was April 16. Wave 3 was April 12.

Hero was July 31. Wave 4 was July 26.

Wave five is set for September 20th. A few days later is fall.

I was surprised how they lined up. And wave 6 is November (perhaps later in the month), which is around the time people assume character 4 will come out.

Seeing how they can have a 2 week gap, I predict that Banjo will come out the first third of October. So there better be a Pumpkin Banjo reference in his gameplay trailer then.

Since weve only seen 2 of s 3 taunts, I think it would be pretty neat if the last one has Mumbo randomly transform the duo into one of their transformations from Kazooie and Tooie. Kind of like Pac Mans taunt where he pulls out an arcade sprite, but cooler.

Almost certain the washer machine would be included in that.

Actually, the Washing Machine is Banjo's echo fighter.

 

[Elmorethemagician]

I still can't believe Banjo Kazooie is going to be DLC!!
I'm so excited for them...

 

[JonSmash]

I can see the washing machine being one of there victory animations

I feel like they'll go the jiggy background but the main menu as the spirit board would be the sickest thing ever

 

[TewnLeenk]

Some of the things I'm most excited to see are the little details like on-screen appearance, idle animations, fanfare music, victory poses ect.

What do you guys thing their on-screen appearance will be? I'm thinking it'll be the little warp effect that happens when you enter a world.

Either that or flying (as BanjoisAwesome said), specifically Beak Bombing in.

I guess one of Jamjars' silos or a Note Door would be a more niche way of doing it, too.

Yeah I'm thinking the warp effect would happen, followed up with the both of them doing a quick pose.

I completely agree with you! I'm so excited for all the little Easter eggs from their games that will come with their appearance. Really hoping they'll have Kazooie pecking Banjo after a while and Banjo strangles Kazooie after one poke too many as one of their idle animations, I think you're right about their on-screen appearance being the Entrance/Exit pad from Banjo-Kazooie (although I could see them flying down to the stage or even crash-landing onto the stage before brushing themselves off and maybe giving an okay sign before starting the battle), and I'm really hoping their victory music will be the Open Note Door/Get All Jiggies in a World theme over the still appropriate but less triumphant Get Jiggy theme, with the Pause Screen music playing over their victory after that like with Cloud and Joker's victory themes. Of course, one of their victory poses has to be their Note Door/Get All Jiggies dance and bowing, along with a pose of them playing their instruments like on their splash page in their trailer and the other has to be Banjo & Kazooie bouncing giddily with a Jiggy which Kazooie then proceeds to swallow lol. The possibilities for them are literally endless and like I've said countless times, their characteristics, gameplay, and personalities were all tailor-made for Smash Bros. So glad the dream has become a reality <3

 

[Dee Dude]

I hope Banjo is more expressive when he’s shown in a 5.0 overview/released.

My only problem with the trailer and gallery is that he’s only seen with that same blank creepy stare throughout all of it lol aside from the ledge hanging and charging animation for his forward smash.

Meanwhile Kazooie seems to show more facial animation then him such as getting breegull bashed.

Of course, we’ve haven’t seen Banjo’s getting hit facial expressions yet so he might some K.Rool/DK level of eye bulging cartoony-ness lol.

We need the crazy eye bulging w the bear and bird

Can you all do me a favor once our beloved duo return? Any spammers or partiers that use them, please, TAKE THEM DOWN. Do not let them mock the bear and bird's legacy. Please?

Sounds too slow for a taunt. I think it's more suitable for a victory animation.

Banjo-Kazooie have two projectiles (so far) and a charging move that grants them inviniciblity for an amount of time. I expect those moves to be tested and spammed day 1 when they release. I can't wait.

I won't tolerate it! I will destroy any spammers who use them that way! And show them no mercy!

Banjoroos, it's been a minute but it's simply crazy. Still to this day, I'm reminded that Banjo & Kazooie are in Smash Bros. Ultimate, and will be releasing in about a month or two. It's truly something amazing. I legit teared up when I saw the reveal. It was a long time coming, and Sakurai, Nintendo, Phil, Microsoft, and Rare made it happen. I can't wait for the dedicated video on Banjo & Kazooie (moves/playstyle, stage, ver. 5.0 updates). For sure Sakurai will reference the N64 games (along with footage maybe?). In addition to this, by February or March 2020, we'll be seeing high-level gameplay of all the Fighters Pass characters. We've already seen Joker, but imagine seeing Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, and the remaining two dlc fighters? And I hope they go all in with the music (a-la Castlevania), and Spirits board (JET FORCE GEMINI IN MY VEINS).

Taunt, idle, victory screen, whatever - I just want Banjo to whip out his Game Boy.

Indeed, I like his taunts--even the one based on N&B. I can't think of any other taunt I want...

THIS.

Also, I really hope that their idle animation is Kazooie pecking at Banjo. It's so iconic to the duo.

 

[GolisoPower]

I think I may have found a potential Star KO Scream for Banjo.

At the 0:20 mark.

 

[yeet123]

Im willing to bet that Rare Replay for the Switch will drop this November/holiday season. Seems like a great tie-in to the Banjo Smash DLC (just like Hero w/ 11S)

[Deleted member]

Well, congratulations to all Banjo-Kazooie fans out there! You earned it.... i too was happy for any newcomer that is related to the History of Nintendo (Sorry Steve, Sora, Doomguy, and Scorpion but you don't fit well into Smash Bros)

Banjo-Kazooie are coming this Fall and i can't wait to try them out, and SSBU might be the first Banjo-Kazooie game i played in my life! But i have another character i want for SSB in general: "Lip from Panel de Pon" (despite the spirit out of her). Please share your support for Nintendo's fairy girl too now that our favourite Duo are coming back (You don't have to if you don't know her, but it's nice to give at least a small support for a Forgotten Nintendo character whose franchise was hijacked by that sorry excuse of a Dinosaur and a Yellow Mouse Pokémon)

So yeah, basically: "WELCOME HOME BANJO!"

 

[Fakol]

What kind of moves you see? There are too many pages, I do not know if it's been debated.
