Forums - Nintendo - Rare gives hope for 3DS Banjo & Kazooie

Now as some of you all may know Microsoft allows Rare to develope games for Nintendo handhelds since they do not pose a threat.  At the same time Microsoft and Rare makes money off of them.  

Albeit it’ll probably never happen, but Rare has given a slight bit of hope for a future Banjo-Kazooie release on Nintendo’s 3DS handheld. A fan on Twitter asked Rare directly about the possibilities of a Banjo-Kazooie remake on 3DS and Rare promptly responded with the following: “Anything’s possible, even if it’s not very likely :)”. Bear in mind, this is in no way a confirmation that Rare is or ever will be developing anygame for the 3DS, but it’s certainly possible for them to. The likliehood of this happening, however, is very slim with Microsoft’s own portable offerings on the market now such as the Windows Phone and the Surface tablet. Though admittedly it certainly wouldn’t play as well on either of those devices!

Would you all like to see a Banjo-Kazooie remake on the 3DS? Or would you like to see a remake of another game on the handheld or perhaps even something more original? I’d love to hear your opinions below in the comments! Also, be sure and check out this article in regards to a 3DS Banjo-Kazooie Sidescroller!

Ohh I didnt no m$ would allow this :O



huh? when did rare make anything for nintendo after MS bought them?



They should bring this, Both games though! People who missed the glorious N64 days would love this game! Best platformer in the 90's



Simon Pegg has been saying similar things about Spaced series 3 for more than 10 years. I am resigned to the fact that it is never happening. I'd advise similar caution on this :P

Interesting to hear, nonetheless.

And also another Banjo game for the GBA(which I can't remember the name right now).


why the fuck would MS allow this? just release the game on XBLA instead



I don't read this as giving hope at all. It reads like "Ain't happening but I'll just leave that backdoor open so I won't look stupid in the future if I'm wrong".



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Because it makes them money.  Smart business.  Viva Pinata went to NDS as well.  If it happens there will most likely be a banjo game for xbox as well.
