I doubt you guys heard of this:
Apparently there's going to be a 2 meter Banjo statue on the XBox area at E3. There was a photo but it was deleted, there's someone trying to get a copy of it right now.

Well it was fun coming back to the board for a week to talk about Banjo with you guys, but it's officially almost Microsoft Presentation time, and Nintendo afterwards, so I'm logging out until then. You guys enjoy the show!

The Star Fox leak is different. Kotaku reported it as a rumor and I think it was considered just that, a rumor. People weren’t throwing their weight behind it like they are now.

I feel kinda bad for Battletoads. We might finally get gameplay and it will be overshadowed by the Banjo love.

'realizes how big that would be'

Oh...my...God. I hope this is true.

EDIT: Could that be the 'something' Microsoft invited!?

Man... it's hard to believe Microsoft may have actually listened to all the criticism over how they treated Banjo all these years and might be making up for it.... I hope all of this is true

I was too afraid to believe before, but now I'm a believer. Throw me on that supporter's list, if there's still room for me!

There is a small part in the back of my mind that thinks that too, But Microsoft would be shooting themselves in the foot keeping it Xbox Exclusive and could potentially flop or do decent at best on there, I'm sure they know that the majority of Banjo-Kazooie/Rareware's audience is on Nintendo platforms so hopefully they release it for both platforms and we show them sales wise that Banjo-Kazooie thrives on the Switch and show what they have been missing out on.

So many moments man.. so get this straight..
You are telling me that we are not only we will get a possible Smash reveal of Banjo but..
We may also get a possible new game/remake of Banjo and Kazooie!

All reveal in 1 day and 3 days left!

Let that sink in...

If this is true then it is a great moment for a Banjo fan!

IndieGamerChick really seems to think Banjo is coming to the Switch wholesale. I doubt she would've been so emphatic if we were getting everything except the actual series revival. And yes, you're right as well. Even a game as... not great as Nuts & Bolts would've sold gangbusters on the Wii, even if it couldn't have looked as nice.

I believe these were for E3 of 2015 when Rare Replay was announced, but is there anything that says the Banjo statue is new and not just these ones?

I will not believe any leak regarding the next smash newcomer until the reveal actually happens. Though Shinobi's statements are quite tempting...

I've been burned before. Never again.

The supposed statue at this E3 is 2 meters and judging by that image, everything around them to more easily judge scale, those are not 2 meters tall.

Early congratulations if everything turns out to be true. I failed at trying to acquire the original Banjo in the past so hopefully the rumors of a Switch port/remake are true as well.

Samus was created by Makoto Kano and designed by Hiroji Kiyotake. She made her debut in Metroid, which was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and Intelligent Systems (both based in Japan), and was first released on the Family Computer Disk System in Japan in 1986, and then on the Nintendo Entertainment System in the US in 1987. She is clearly a Japanese created character.

Dark Samus, on the other hand, made her debut as Metroid Prime in Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime was developed by Retro Studios, based in Austin, Texas, U.S., and released on the GameCube in 2002 in the US, then in 2003 for Japan and Europe. Her original Dark Samus form appeared in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GameCube, 2004), and the form we see in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is based on the design from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii, 2007). She is an American created character (and currently the only one on the roster). That's a "western rep" there.
Ah. I was close.

I guess today just wasn't a very eventful day. I'm going nucking futs. Hope I can survive the weekend! (Didn't Sabi say she'll have some nice red meat for us on Sunday?)

Gamexplain had their usual E3 predictions video. But, as you know, if they cover rumors, then it's likely they got secret information from Nintendo. And almost always becomes true.

For the Banjo related part go to timestamp 16:47 to hear their predictions on the bear and bird duo.

She said she should have some Direct details by then. Join her Discord if you're interested.

I love GameXplain, but there's something very eyebrow-raising about the way they all go, "Ahahaha! Jon, your predictions always come true! People are going to think you have insider connections or something! Ahahaha!"

Methinks milady doth protest too much, to quote the Bard.

I actually think of it as the opposite. If they had insider info, they would not speculate on it. It's what they, and other media outlets (like Kinda Funny Games' Greg) do so that they aren't betraying their sources (and closer to release, that source may be official Nintendo material). The good news is that if they did have insider information, this rumor doesn't conflict with it. If it did, then they wouldn't talk about it, like the Grinch fiasco. But I don't think they're speculating on info they have insider information on.

It annoys me they still do that, since with the Grinch fiasco we now know they do get insider information. What turned me off to GameXplain was that disconnect.

Guys... I'm scared. What if there is a big new Banjo game, but it doesn't come to Switch?
Should the Smash inclusion be true it would be very Joker-like to do that (I know about PQ2). You want to get this character to many people out there. Not that it adds much to it, but is Xbox Play Anywhere still a thing?

It’ll probably be released on xCloud. If you don’t have an Xbox, just buy it xCloud and stream to whatever( rumours say it’s coming to Switch). Provided your internet is good.

What worries me about a new Banjo is that Kirkhope has been downplaying everything Banjo lately which makes me think he won't be involved if there is another one. Or maybe he's just trolling.

I don't really want a Banjo Witchy Duology. The original games still hold up perfectly well especially with the improvements in the XBLA versions.

I'd much rather Rare Replay on Switch.

Had to get back in on this.

It's going to be one hell of a 72 hours.
