1/4/08: Disinformation Central '08
It hasn't escaped our notice that many of you are expecting some kind of Banjo-
themed April Fool's Day prank. Some of you have even suggested that the B-K 3 teaser site is just a hoax (it's not).
But as has been said before, we're not in the business of crushing your dreams, hence this 'exciting' new edition of previously canned feature Disinformation Central. It goes like this: we print some Banjo 3 story possibilities, knowing that only one of them contains any truth, and then... well, we wait ages before confirming one and denying the others. So entertaining, we might even do it every year!
Rumour One: Banjo and Grunty team up against a new threat, falling in love in the process.
Sexy post-transformation Grunty makes a return and proves irresistible to our heroic bear, much to Kazooie's disgust. Can the mismatched trio defeat their fire-breathing foe?
Rumour Two: Kazooie is abducted by aliens and Banjo heads out to search the cosmos.
Partway through his low-gravity exploits, he discovers who's taken her... and it's a familiar face from the Rare archives who has been 'turned to the green side' by Grunty.
Rumour Three: Banjo and Kazooie travel back through time in pursuit of the witch's giant T.I.T.
Grunty drives her Time Interfering Truck back to before the bear and bird met. The duo must reintroduce themselves and relearn everything they know in a completely new way!
Rumour Four: Banjo comes out of retirement to stop his home being redeveloped into tower blocks and malls.
To end the struggle, a capricious higher power engineers a bear/witch showdown through worlds of the imagination – with Spiral Mountain's ownership deeds going to the victor.
Rumour Five: War comes to Spiral Mountain, and Banjo becomes a reluctant leader.
Ever seen a Jinjo Tank? Or Grunty's Grappling Grenadier Grunts? You will when you take on our innovative RTS-platformer hybrid campaign.
So what do you think? Which one's true? Any of them, or did we make them all up? Nah, we're not that bad. Are we?
Insightful guesswork based on company policy/projected success/sheer blind hope is welcome, so feel free to contact Scribes and we may even post a selection of your wildly inaccurate comments at a later date. And don't bother trying to beat us into submission - as always, we'll 'fess up when we're good and ready. Until then, all sorts of hilarious process-of-elimination-based shenanigans await you.
