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

As bummed as I am if Banjo's a no show; let's not be sore losers, all.

 

[andree123]

Microsoft is may still be silent about talks about Banjo in smash.

 

[weallfloatdownhere7]

Guys, have you forgotten that Vergeben also mentioned Erdrick? His track record his still solid. I still expect Banjo sooner or later

 

[theromfather]

Banjo at the end boys. Don't lose hope!

I would have not been happy about Hero even if Banjo was not a part of the conversation. He just looks boring.

 

[ze9]

The only way this could have ended.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Can we wait until the end of the direct before freaking?

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Congrats Dragon Quest fans, RIP Geno. I hope we see Banjo & Kazooie at the end.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Alright Banjo fans don't disappoint me. Don't be sore losers if he doesn't show up. We weren't promised anything. Just be happy for DQ fans. Don't disappoint me team. I know you're better than that.

 

[Taco Cruise]

Summer is very late for Erdrick/DQ Heros to release, they are way behind on DLC Characters releasing. Vergeben is still super accurate, but I'm scared

 

[Goodstyle_4]

The guy that called the DQ hero before anyone is super confident about Banjo. Look on the bright side guys.

 

[BZocky]

The direct isn’t even over yet as you’re already ragging on Erdrick... I think he looks really cool and he’s definitely gonna be a new main of mine. Just a reminder Verge reconfirmed Erdrick in the same post as he said banjo was 99% likely

 

[Reila]

Another anime swordsman. Cool. /s

I remember when I first played Smash 64, and aside from the fun aspect of playing as Nintendo critters, I found it cool how the roster was so unorthodox. When games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat had mostly humanoid fighters (with some weird stuff like Motaro in MK), Smash had two weird balls with limbs (Kirby and Jigglypuff), a strange tiny rodent, a goofy cartoon dinosaur, etc. I mean, we had Samus and Link, but they were the exception.

Nowadays most new fighters are boring humanoids, and for the most part with uninteresting (to me) anime aesthetics. Like I said in my other post, Dragon Quest is an old and popular series, so it kind of fits in Smash (more than Bayonetta and Joker, IMO) but I miss what once made Smash unique among fighting games. Sure, we can still play as weird stuff like Kirby, Pac-Man, a dog and a duck, etc - But I wish they would add more crazy fun fighters as DLC.

Banjo & Kazooie, or Geno, or Rayman - Those would have been fun additions.

I hope people have fun with The Hero, though. I am not trying to rain on other people's parades. I suppose I am just not the target audience for Smash anymore.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Didn’t the same leakers backing Banjo day something about Netflix?

 

[Quidohmi]

Nintendo is doing a poor job at advertising the Fighter Pass to me. We got an anime boy with a sword and... an anime boy with a sword.

Criticizing poor decisions isn't being a sore loser. Nintendo needs to diversify the pass.

 

[Motor Bug2005]

Remember they didn't show an updated mural after Erdrick's trailer so there's still a chance. Don't give up now!

 

[HotelSoapy!]

I'm already sad. I don't wanna be all negative I'm just gonna hold out until the end of this direct.

 

[Datboigeno]

Why do we have to pretend to be excited for a character and happy for a fanbase if we're actually not? Why do we have to pretend to be happy on the internet for the sake of other random people on the internet?

GALAXY BRAIN THIS GUY

Hey before you lose hope...

Spoiler

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Luigi's Mansion 3 looks awesome.

 

[TheTreasonousSnowmad]

Guys, chill. Also, that Mana collection was another Vergeben prediction who is backing Banjo, We're still good.

 

[TheAnvil]

I will say I'm impressed that they found a way to cram 4 more generic sword users in the DLC for this 1 reveal alone.

 

[weallfloatdownhere7]

I’m feeling very confident there’s gonna be a summer Smash Bros Direct where they’ll release Erdrick and reveal Banjo.

 

[Dee Dude]

I mean, Banjo isn’t deconfirmed in anyway and I’m happy for the Erdrick supporters that sided with us.

But my beef is why they would reveal a Japan popular character at a Western event and it makes me wonder where Banjo is gonna be shown next.

I just feel E3 was the perfect chance...but I won’t give up hope.

 

[helloiamhere]

mural still hasnt updated yet. keep your butt clenched for the next 20 minutes

 

[ze9]

This was the most accurate leak in the end:

Here's the full Smash Bros DLC list:

>Tracer from Overwatch, OW + Diablo music, stage could potentially be either "Gibraltar" or "King's Row", or maybe I'm missing something

>Crash Bandicoot, Spyro content licensed as well but does not include music making it likely that the playable character is Crash

>Gran/Djeeta, the MCs of the Granblue series, able to summon other characters

>The hero from Dragon Quest 3... And also DQ9 and DQ1. The character is named "The Hero", just "Hero" in EU. Every costume is a different iteration of a Dragon Quest protagonist.

So, only shill picks and no Banjo, as we should have expected from the beginning.

 

[Toodaluu]

Did they give a release date for Luminary? I believe Banjo could still be presented at the end.

 

[Dee Dude]

I fail to see how Crash is a shill pick.

Anyway, it’s possible Shinobi never hinted at Banjo being revealed at E3 specifically, just in general.

 

[ze9]

The Hero will be released in summer, I imagine july/august. So Banjo would have to come even after that. He won't be revealed today, guys.

 

[weallfloatdownhere7]

Guys, one good thing to take from Erdrick’s reveal: he got an awesome cinematic trailer! Which means we can probably expect one for Banjo!

 

[Paperchampion23]

Did they give a release date for Luminary? I believe Banjo could still be presented at the end.

Nope nothing. Pretty sure we are getting more

 

[Deleted member]

Okay. I take back my hanging myself. No More Heroes 3 is announced!

 

[andree123]

Did they give a release date for Luminary? I believe Banjo could still be presented at the end.

Summer 2019, might be around July to early August.

 

[Dyamanttine]

Wait, there was a leak with Contra on it right?

 

[Paperchampion23]

Wait, there was a leak with Contra on it right?

Could have sworn i saw a leak saying Erdrick first, Banjo at the end, both releasing at the end of the presentation. I know remember that.

 

[ze9]

Wait, there was a leak with Contra on it right?

There was. Don't remember what else it mentioned, though.

 

[andree123]

Wait, there was a leak with Contra on it right?

Yes, it feels not so isometric.

 

[Don_102]

Have hope guys!

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I think Verge leaked it.
