I have a feeling Microsoft's conference is gonna be really good, not sure why, just a gut feeling.

All I hope for is that Battletoads looks good, huge fan of the NES game, so I'm interested in seeing how they modernize it since it's not exactly an easy sell in the modern game industry. I expect it'll still be a difficult game since that's practically its entire identity, but sidescroller beat 'em ups aren't exactly flourishing these days, and are they going to keep things like 3 game overs to send you back to the start, and co-op buddies dying sending everyone back? Those are key reasons the original is so difficult, but I don't think you can get away with those things today, it's not exactly good game design.

Wow. This image is relevant again.

I actually wouldn’t mind if the new project/potential Smash appearance used Nuts & Bolts’s art Style. It’s not that bad.

I don't think N&B design is bad aside of the blockyness.

Scoliosis Jones is absolutely right by the way. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Hmm, suspicious...

Spoiler

JK, I have been in the thread for a while to know whom you're talking about or at least some people that were aware of the whole box/Grinch shenanigans.

Microsoft isn’t stupid. They‘re aware of the poor reception Nuts and Bolts got, and they’re aware that most of the fan base nowadays is people who have nostalgia for the old games.

If there is a new game, it’ll either be a proper Banjo-Threeie, or a remake of Banjo-Kazooie (maybe a bundle with Tooie).
I’d prefer the latter, seeing as the most of the original team isn’t at Rare any more, and modern Rare doesn’t have experience making a Banjo game. Maybe remaking the original(s) will help them understand what made the first two beloved, so they’re better prepared to make Banjo-Threeie later down the line.

N&B reception is kinda unwarranted (like Federation Force), and could've existed as a spinoff to the mainline B&K games.

 

[BlueMonk]

Possible, but it started as a Smash Ball and at some point turned into a Fake Smash Ball.

I don't think he wasn't expected it, he was calling attention to it in the same way he normally does in the Smash directs.

(He also apologized).

Oh, I didn't see that.

 

[PLATINUM7]

That troll from the Crash Team Racing people on Geoff's stream thing.

Hyping up Spyro to reveal a penguin instead. Lol.

"A penguin"

That's some mad disrepespect for Penta.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Also watch that Microsoft's answer to Smash and PSASBR gets announced with characters like Banjo, Battletoads, Fulgore, Master Chief, etc.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Third year in a row, good ol' Shiggy decides to crash a non Nintendo presentation

This will just be a annual thing form here on out, right?

I read that as Shaggy.


Shaggyru Miyamoto

I feel like a lot of people would be upset if Banjo has his nuts and bolts design in a new game.

The real question is, realistic bear noises when?

I wouldn’t be upset, I just don’t think that the blocky appearance and small eyes suit Banjo.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

"A penguin"

That's some mad disrepespect for Penta.

To quote the great Mariah Carey:

''I don't know her."

Seriously though, I quite like Penta's Crested Penguin variant.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm not bothering continuing the Eridrick rumor discussion. I've said what I needed to say and honestly don't care at this point.

This video is an interesting topic by Arlo:

Spoiler: video so there’s not multiple videos on the page

Opossum will be happy based on that thumbnail.

 

[Namasura]

I think this is the first time I am seriously watching the Xbox conference, I have some... harsh opinions on the brand, I guess? Just never felt why its nescessary when you can get most of the console by having a good PC

Anyway, this still has me intrigued. Let's see what happens.

 

[Wario Bros.]

15 minutes.

I have good feelings about this.

 

[Gyrom8]

Hello hello how are we all doing

No major leaks today for me to dodge, right?

Also does anyone have a link to the Microsoft stream or the one that most people here are using: would like to be watching at the same time ideally, without dem pesky few second delays

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Rare:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Banjo fans assuming that it is 100% a new Banjo game:

Some seem to forget we still got Battletoads this year.

That could be honestly sweet. The more Fulgore the better~

 

[TheMightyP]

You know, getting Rash from Battletoads isn't a bad idea either.

 

[Mythra]

Hot take: There's a chance ranging from 0% to 100% of seeing the Bear with string instrument and Kazoo Fried Chicken today in a game that may or not may be the Crushing of Siblings Maximumer.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Some seem to forget we still got Battletoads this year.

Which Rare has nothing to do with.

 

[Deleted member]

I am going to laugh if we get solely Edelgard.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Which Rare has nothing to do with.

True, but last year's teaser trailer showed the Rare logo

 

[Wunderwaft]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
The hype is getting to me. I can't believe E3 has finally started.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I’m sorry but that person on the stream just said “owo what’s this?”

 

[Opossum]

I am going to laugh if we get solely Edelgard.

I would be 100% happy. I'm in full Three Houses hype mode right now.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

As much as I'd love that, pretty sure Phil Spencer unfortunately shot that down from likely happening any time soon...

He believes that their cast of characters wouldn't be on par with Nintendo's stellar lineup

 

[Mythra]

I am going to laugh if we get solely Edelgard.

Best Timeline

Idunn care about the rest.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I would be 100% happy. I'm in full Three Houses hype mode right now.

Edalgard gets revealed:
Opossum is happy.
Everyone else is not.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Is there a youtube ortwitch feed from Microsoft? The only one one their site is for something called Mixer.
