Something new has been discovered post Hero! A video reveals three, not two but three, empty slots in voice Sound Test after Banjo & Kazooie's slot! Fans theorize we are getting a bonus fighter, or, one of the last two has an alt with different voice clips. Blocked Content predicts it could be Crash Bandicoot, with his sister Coco as an alt! What do you guys think? I can show ya the video of his speculation.

The issue with Coco is her skeleton is completely different in shape from Crash, especially the head. I think rigging her onto Crash would be essentially impossible in a Smash context.

That said it’s an interesting datamine, if I had to guess it’s a male/female split.

This is the highest quality version of the BK Japanese commercial Ive ever seen.

Once Rare Replay Switch becomes a hit, they'll start working on a new BK game for Switch. Odyssey is the best Banjo Kazooie game ever made; while obv BK isnt as popular as Mario you cant say that ppl aren't interested in 3D platformers.
The problem is Rare isn’t interested in doing it. Someone else would have to, and I don’t think many people are jumping to make a sequel to Rare’s most beloved IP. That’s a tall order.

I hope so. But, who else has an alternate female counterpart. Only one duo like that I can think of are Spyro and Cynder, the ones from Legend of Spyro. Hmm...who else though...ooh! Nah, can't be Scorpion and Sub Zero, they're both male and have different moves. Who do you guys think it is?

It's not actually a datamine, but if you add Banjo & Kazooie to the sound test's voice menu, there are three empty spaces after the generic Pokémon, Assist Trophy, and Smash Bros. voices. Someone made a mock-up to show three empty squares before those generic ones to show what it could look like, assuming it'll actually be perfectly symmetrical (which it might not given some other stuff).

Oh. My mistake then. Sorry everyone.

*Cough* RETRO STUDIOS PLEASE GOD *cough*

Also Im counting on that, and hoping that another developer taking Banjo is the case. Rare lost its magic long ago; give the IP to a hungry developer like Retro or the Hat in Time guys

You really think Retro is up to the task when they're knee deep in Metroid Prime 4 and probably had at least one game canceled in the last few years?

A. We dont know that they had a game canceled. Im still betting that we'll get a DKC 3 announcement this fall/winter.

B. We don't know that its all hands on deck for prime 4 rn

Even if Microsoft and Rare were to kindly let Retro work on the next Banjo-Kazooie game, I don't think it's happening anytime soon as their next project after Metroid Prime 4 is most likely going to be DKCR3 with K. Rool as the antagonist.

Hey I found something cool! The Banjo-Kazooie reveal trailer, with DK, Diddy and K. Rool dubbed by voice clips from the DKC cartoon! https://youtu.be/9O3Y08uIHSA
Yeah, that was uploaded by BKupa666 BKupa666 the guy who runs the formerly support but now social K. Rool thread.

I notice you always copy the link of a video into your post instead of putting it in media where the video's thumbnail can be shown on your post. To do this, go to the button that has 3 dots and a arrow on it, it's right next to the face button where you go to put character icons or emojis in your post. Now when you click it, you should see media on top, than you click it again than copy the video to media, and than you're done.

I don't know how to do that. Oh, I see it now. Thank you!

That is, assuming that Miyamoto's claim of them having the ability to simultaneously work on two games is hot air...

Banjo-Tooie glitches! Testing the media button on the message posting part.

Yay it worked!

Anyone here play Super Mario Maker 2? I am recreating two beloved worlds from Banjo-Kazooie: Freezey Peak and Gobi's Valley. But, need help deciding which blocks to use for Jinxy the Sphinx and the Snowman. Someone help? Also, editing this as to avoid being penalized for double posting.

I'm sorry but I cannot get hyped about Super Smash Flash 2. It's surreal that Banjo & Kazooie got added to actual Smash before they've been added to fan games. And while I much prefer that, and am thankful for that--how the **** hasn't Banjo & Kazooie been added to these fan games yet? :rotfl: I don't want to diss on anyone's favorite characters, so I'll phrase it like this--why the **** did they add [insert random character here] before one of the most highly-requested, long-awaited characters once thought of as impossible? It boggles my mind, but am so grateful that if I had to choose between playing them on a fan game or in real Smash, that it's the latter.

It's their game, so they can have fun working on it. I'll have fun playing Banjo & Kazooie in Smash instead. :lol:

Kirkhope pitches in his informed and highly educated opinion on whether other people should handle Rare IPs.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
Xbox 'is aware' it owns classic IP like Perfect Dark?

This the first thing that came to mind for anyone else?

Random shot in the dark: anyone know if this render exists by itself?



A Japanese magazine posted a more full version of it:

I guess if you are Sora and Waluigi fan, you'll take just about anything smash related to see your characters in a smash game, official or not. Heck Banjo & Kazooie don't really have a serious modding scene when it comes to Brawl hacking. I'm going to guess people don't mind the duo but just forget about them compared to their favourite characters because of the mindset that they're with Microsoft.

Yeah, I figured it's an individual bias, I'm just surprised with how many fan games and mods, Banjo & Kazooie weren't bigger. If I was a fan game designer I'd consider it an obligation to look at polls/data, see a) what characters people want b) what characters likely would never be in Smash. It's why I'd add someone like Goku, even though I don't personally care for it--it's too obvious.

Not actually complaining, though, just pointing out the irony of B&K getting into Smash officially before the mod community. I'm happy that's the case.



It's beautiful--I'm tearing up. :chuckle:

K. Rool wasn't in any Smash fan games either too. WHAT DOES THE FLASH AND CRUSADE TEAM HAVE AGAINST RARE CHARACTERS... Oh wait, they did added Krystal to Smash Flash 2 so I guess they don't have anything against Rare characters. :4pacman:

Yet literal anime characters like Goku and Luffy took more priority, even though they have even more legal barriers. I think there's a strong irony in this.

Yeah no one really thinks about the legal barriers that comes with anime characters since they can appear on any console. Though that's just my assumption as to why Banjo & Kazooie aren't worked on that much in the fan games or modding scene other than lack of interest or just not growing up with the two.

Yeah I was always a bit irked by the fact that, even in fan-made games, I couldn't live out my fantasies of playing as Banjo & Kazooie while freaking Goku, Naruto, the dude from Bleach, and Luffy could all make it in. Shameful. But you're absolutely right, it's their game, so they can choose who they put in. I'm just glad Sakurai officially brought the beloved backpacking bear and bird buddies home at long last <3

It probably helps that sprites already existed for all of those characters from a Smash Bros. type game (and there's demand for Goku in Smash, at the least), while anything for Banjo and Kazooie would have to made from scratch. This is the closest that anyone could get for Banjo and Kazooie sprites otherwise, and those wouldn't work well for a 2D game.

:) Project M is preparing to make Banjo into the game. They hinted at it in the ending of Toad's trailer.

I always thought Smash Flash 2 was pretty impressive for a fan game. Especially because it took years to make. Usually those kind of projects just die off. But many of the character picks don't interest me. And I'm not just talking about the anime characters.
The stages are pretty good though. I like most of them better than Smash Wii U/Ultimate's new stages.

Are you talking about Smash Legacy XP? Because Nintendo shut down the Project M team from doing anything else. Right before Nintendo did that, they were going to put Isaac, Knuckles, Lyn, and Cammy into the game.

Me too buddy, me too. Her and Goemon are my only S rank wants left.

Besides the existing sprites for the anime characters, they were probably also added to the fangames with those developers knowing that Goku, Naruto, etc will never be possible in an actual Smash game, unlike Banjo. So they were added because they can't be added.
