Banjo-Kazooie is a platform game that came out on Nintendo 64 in 1998. Now while there isn’t any official remake for this game under development, 3D artist ‘Jaime A Garcia‘ has released some screenshots, showing what a next-gen remake could look like.

According to the artist, the main goal of this project was to bridge the gap between the original N64-look and the Nuts and Bolts aesthetic, and also to bring them up to today’s stylized standards. Jaime A Garcia has created from scratch a lot of characters from Banjo-Kazooie. Below you can find screenshots for Bottles, Tooty, Klungo, Mumbo Jumbo, Gruntilda and the main protagonists.

Not only that, but the artist has also included the original 3D models in some of the following screenshots. These comparisons will give you an idea of the graphical jump we’d see in a proper remake of this title. Moreover, it shows how close to the original material Jaime A Garcia has stated.

Spyro The Dragon and the Crash Bandicoot series have received amazing remakes, and MediEvil Remake is right around the corner. Moreover, there are also rumours for a remake of the first two House of the Dead games. As such, there is still hope for a Banjo-Kazooie Remake.

Kill it with fire.

 

[baphomet]

Nothing about that is next gen.

 

[Mattyp]

Looks fine in 4K already. Assume the nextbox will give it an even bigger boost.

I disliked the look of banjo in nuts n bolts. The Smash Bros model looked more faithful to the original.

At this point Microsoft should let Nintendo make a banjo kazooie game. If they like money.

Just slap an engine on something and it works! I made a fucking dragon and it was absolutely a PAIN to fly but I still beat the final boss with him lol.

Seriously why is this not a thing yet? It's worth it for the nostalgia alone. Would be a big boon for Xbox too.

This is what current gen Battletoads looks like!

I'm not a big fan of the art direction myself, but i'll reserve judgement for once it's released. It could always end up being really fun regardless.

 

[Ibara]

Please dont do it MS... I dont want to be forced to buy an Xbox

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

This can be done even on this gen. Donno if its just me but I don't see anything "next gen" here.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

another victim of Microsoft

This is what current gen Battletoads looks like!

URRGHHHH

Kill the team who did it!!!!

WITH FIRE!!!!

 

[JimiNutz]

MS/Rare should work on this with Nintendo and get it done.
If they shared the cost and sold the game on both Xbox and Switch I'm sure it would sell well enough between the two platforms to be lucrative for them both.

 

[nkarafo]

Really bad designs IMO. Not a fan of the square style thing.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[GymWolf]

it looks like shit tbh.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

There's no hair particles so it looks 2D.

 

[LordOfChaos]

If Microsoft isn't going to do anything with the IP they should licence it. Cmooon, enough of the flirting.

 

[Elder Legend]

Kill it with fire.

I've played it at E3 last year and I agree. Its shit.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I hope for better for next gen. That looks like a Switch game

 

[Wolfgang Jr]
