Could Banjo-Kazooie be coming back to Nintendo this E3?

[JabbatheHutt]

Hear me out, we don't know the unannounced Wii U Title thats going to be announced.

Microsoft has done NOTHING with Banjo Kazooie for the better part of a decade.

You think Maybe Banjo and Kazooie game is the unannounced title and are characters in Smash 4?

A hunch tells me I hope this is correct.....

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOO. Rare will never give Banjo back to Nintendo

DON'T GIVE ME HOPE.

MY FEELS STAHP

lets see how do i put this: NOPE

If there's any reason for Microsoft to do their own ssb clone, it's to shut up the BK hopefuls.

 

[Samuel Intrater]

Obviously that would be a dream come true, but Microsoft literally owns all rights to Banjo and Kazooie, and I highly doubt they would give those rights to one of their competing companies to use in their most-hyped game. Plus, Banjo and Kazooie in Smash could make people go out and buy the Banjo games for Xbox, which obviously Nintendo doesn't want.

It would be incredible, but don't get your hopes up.

Its pretty doubtful.

The talent that Rare used to had is gone. Also recently some employees of Rare were hit with layoffs too.

 

[QuickRat]

Never gonna happen, bro.

 

[Chauzu]

I can see Nintendo trying to buy the character rights back but yeah, doubt Microsoft would let it happen.

 

[TheAnvil]

Don't try and get my hopes up this way.

Every time someone mentions Banjo or Conker, I want to cry.

I get you're trying to extend this to Smash, but this topic belongs much more in the Light House forum.

 

[Minato]

It's not going to happen.

 

[Cheezey Bites]

The theory was reliant of the surprisingly long silence coming from Rare, this has since been quashed by Kinect Sports The Rival DLC. Rare are not coming back, atleast not this E3, and Banjo is part of that DLC so they haven't sold the franchise rights either.

It's not happening.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Would love to see it happen, but I honestly doubt it

Conker made an appearance in Microsofts E3. I thought it was pretty cute.... except for why he was there. Which is just a character you can play in the game Spark I guess.
If you didn't catch what he said, he said something like "I haven't had a game in 10 years! Guess we have to make one."

In the least, it's SOME sign of life with Rare. Not the best, but something.
