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

[SuperiorYoshi87]

Don't forget we need to thank Phil and Sakurai they both did this.. I'm so happy

 

[3BitSaurus]

After all the Majora's Mask images we've been doing in the last 72 hours, I feel this one is the most appropriate right now:

Spoiler

I'm never asking for anything ever again.

Also, are we going to send a letter to Nintendo like some K. Rool fans did, with the usernames of the people on this thread? If so, please put mine among the signatures.

 

[Gekkouga]

Can we talk about how perfect this is? They kept the original voices, the GUH-HUHs and the BREEEEEE's. The PERFECT design choice. I couldn't ask for more.

 

[Folt]

Never thought I'd see the day...

I'm so happy right now!

 

[GillyGrime]

So relieved they don't have the Nuts and Bolts design. What a dodged bullet, Sakurai knows what he's doing.
Anyone else gonna spend the rest of the day mashing replay on their reveal and watching live reacts ?

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

So that's where K. Rool had been all these years, sleeping in DK's treehouse!

Spine tingling scenes there BKupa, thanks for sharing.

It's 3am in Australia, still buzzing!

Still can't believe it, we've reached the promised land! K. Rool, Ridley and now Banjo & Kazooie, mind boggling.

How cute were the old Rare crew cheering, really hit home there, right in the feels. DK and Diddy were adorable. And the squinting... 'is it really... them, they look familiar?!?' Amazing reveal which oozed charm and charisma that Rare and Nintendo are well known for. Perfect!

Erdricks reveal was well done too.

 

[Banjodorf]

I never, EVER want to hear anyone say Sakurai doesn’t care about the fans ever again. This game is ****ing legendary.

We ****ing did it, guys.

I wish I could go back and tell little me in 2002 during the buyout that everything would be OK one day.

****, I’m still crying.

This is the happiest I've ever been in so long. This moment will go down in history as "Hey grandpa, what was the greatest moment in your life?"
"Gather around children, lemme tell you about a game called Smash Brothers, and why a bear and bird made me so happy..."

 

[LMatt]

I can't stop watching the trailer.

We got everything: Jiggys, Guh-Huhs, Wees, Brees, Gruntilda, Jinjos, Bottles (alive), eggs, feathers, all characters cheering when they appeared, Spiral Mountain in full HD glory and, of course, the charisma and goofiness of Banjo and Kazooie themselves.

This is truly the ULTIMATE Smash Bros

 

[Mr.Boo]

I knew you guys would get your bear and bird! Will you be sending this letter to Microsoft, too? Great things get done in pairs after all!

Mural updated!

 

[Thewafflemaker2000]

Breegull bash was the attack I wanted the most, second is the eggs does it look like you can switch eggs?

 

[Dinoman96]

We did it mates

We did it

 

[Banjoisawesome2020]

This scene from Star Wars is how Banjo & Kazooie must be feeling right now. https://youtu.be/Aa2SEz-4bQA

Exactly like that.

 

[ffdgh]

After all these years they're finally here. Been waiting for this day since Melee. Also congrats!

 

[BlueJaySSB]

So relieved they don't have the Nuts and Bolts design. What a dodged bullet, Sakurai knows what he's doing.

UHHHH me, me, and me.

 

[Toodaluu]

I absolutely love seeing that this thread is no longer in "Newcomer Speculation".


I'm stoked to play them this Fall!

 

[Ura]

I'm having trouble processing that this is actually reality.

This is the kind of thing I would dream about back in the days of Melee and now it's actually happening.

...just wow.

 

[Staarih]

Congrats guys! It's awesome to see Banjo back in action again.

 

[TheTreasonousSnowmad]

What'd I tell you guys? Have some faith.

I apologize for anything bad I ever said about Vergeben.

With Erdrick being revealed now, I think he has an alibi for everything Smash related as well. The only thing we haven't seen is Minecraft content.

20 damn years. So who wants to get that thank you note started?

My thoughts, exactly.

Nothing video game related will top this for me ever.

You should update the GIF in your signature, as well.

 

[StormC]

Congrats to the people who have campaigned for this since the ballot. You're the real heroes.

I was deflated after the Luminary reveal (nothing against him) but oh man... I screamed at the Banjo trailer.

 

[AngrySun88]

I called that double reveal! There was no way they were going to show Dragon Quest on its own at E3.

Nintendo was totally trolling us with that Duck Hunt bit in the trailer, but I knew it was Banjo-Kazooie as soon as they showed the Rare crew back together.

Shinobi also continues his excellent track record, and hell, this even gives Vergeben some redemption as well. Although we still haven't seen that Minecraft content unless there's Mii costumes.

Nintendo totally won E3 as far as I'm concerned.

 

[GrungeMan]

I just read through all the posts since the reveal and was struck with emotion all over again. What a wonderful community that's endured for nearly 20 years. Today was immensely surreal. I still remember being super naive and wondering why B&K weren't in the first smash game thinking they were these super huge Nintendo characters. Then the reality of copyrights and acquisitions set in as a teenager and as an adult there was just a lot of lost faith among many smash players that our bear and bird would ever make it in. Ever.

Now we're finally seeing them on a Nintendo console again and a part of smash no less. Not gonna lie, I feel an immense sense of closure for a big part of my childhood. RareWare on Nintendo was everything back then and then it just unceremoniously ended. Gone just like that around 2002. DKC2 is my favorite game, so to see my smash main Diddy help usher in the welcome wagon back home to an old friend just really felt... whole.

Big thanks to Sakurai for FINALLY making me feel like a big part of my childhood really is a part of gaming history. It's not just a win, it's validation.

Banjo and Kazooie are gaming icons!

That single tear became a lot of tears :')

 

[~The Koopa King~]

I'm a little bummer we aren't seeing banjo until september at the earliest

 

[Xenigma]

Major congratulations to all you Banjo-Kazooie supporters, and thanks for helping to make this happen. They weren't my top choice, but I truly love the Banjo games and am stoked to finally get to play as them in Smash!

 

[DarthEnderX]

Congrats to all you Banjo fans out there! Hope you're as happy as us Erdrick fans!

 

[Arcadenik]

Congrats. After 20 years, it finally happened. Enjoy this moment.

Yes, everyone are here... well, almost everyone.

We still need to get Dixie Kong in there with the Rare gang.

So hyped to see Banjo-Kazooie come home after all these years. I laughed out loud when I saw Duck Hunt Dog in that trailer. That is exactly what Duck Hunt Dog should have done whenever he wins a match. So funny to see the duck laughing along with the dog.

 

[nirvanafan]

All i can say is it has been a crazy trip but we finally made it. Thank you Nintendo, Sakurai, and Microsoft/Rare. Really looking forward to the fall and to seeing what music and spirits we may be getting as well.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

It's Official !!! Fighter #73 !!!

 

[Lycan Rex]

They even have the breegull blaster stance I theorized I while ago

 

[Swop]

Their Amiibo is going to shine next to my K. Rool one

The Banjo amiibo will probably be scalped to hell, once those Pre-orders go up, the Apocalypse begins.

 

[Chrollo.]

Here’s something we all missed: Shinobi actually doubled down on Banjo during the Direct

[~ Valkyrie ~]

You want to know my most favorite thing about the whole trailer?

I didn't expect them to do that. But boy, did I feel some euphoria when they joined to all of us for the return of the Bear and the Breegull.

It truly is beautiful.

 

[CannonStreak]

Before we forget, let me post this for our victory.

 

[T3Z3R1]

CONGRATS, BANJO FANS! YOU GUYS ARE GETTING BANJO IN SMAS AND IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU

 

[Leotsune]

Hi, just wanna say, every single character revealed so far has been a personal favorite.
I'm so happy!

 

[Noipoi]

Welp

We had a smashing good time

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Banjo looks bloody amazing!!!!

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

If this Smash Brothers doesn't show everyone that Nintendo and Sakurai do care about the fans, I really don't think anything ever will. Seriously, Sakurai cares. Add Rare and Microsoft to that as well for letting it happen.

 

[PsychoJosh]

You all did it. Congratulations Banjo fans. Hope to see more western platformer mascots in Smash.
