Yeah, they should have done what nintendo does. Remake the same game over and over and upgrade graphics and backgrounds... Shame on you Rare for trying something different.

I personally didn't care much for Banjo before but now this looks like a must play as it looks like it won't be the same 3D platformer we've all been playing since Mario 64.


Uh, there were only 2 Banjo Kazooie games on the N64. They completely skipped the last generation.

I don't think most would have minded another traditional Banjo platformer...in fact I'm pretty sure that's what near everybody did want.

Different =/= better. Maybe an awesome, expanded platformer, similar to how SMG did it, would be AMAZING. They could have huge worlds, plenty of new moves, whatever...they could have added these vehicles on the side even.

Nobody wanted something different, that's the point. We wanted the Banjo we loved only bigger and better. This looks more like a spin-off if anything.

To be fair I never thought the game would turn out well anyway. The weird character models, hints at a strange gameplay mechanic, and Rare's sparkling reputation tipped me off long ago.


Forgive me in asking this as I don't really follow the trends for platformers...but arent standard platformers on their last legs at this point? Mario sells...but rest have died off like cows in a lightning storm.

While you say that nobody wanted a spin-off...I wasn't even considering this game as I thought exactly what you did. I'll be hoping around...shooting fruits at things and have cheesy plot to follow...

After seeing the preview I've realized that some thought has gone in to this game to expand the known platformer and that it may have the freedom I need to have a good gaming experience these days. So I wouldn't say nobody wanted this...except maybe the die hard fans of the old game.
