I can already picture Conker, ultra realistic lightning and fur... oh man but with the badassery

 

[iconmaster]

I'm 26 and Banjo Kazooie was right in the sweet spot of childhood N64 gaming for me.

As another user said, your time table is off, I'm 29 and played both Banjos.

I stand corrected.

 

[TLZ]

I'd like both really, but if it has to be one I'll go for Conker.

I’ve seen her nudes.

Who is she?

 

[CyberPanda]

Who is she?

Jennifer Lawrence.

Prepare to be disappointed xD

Banjo fans greatly overestimate the audience for that game type on Xbox and those particular characters. If we mean the 3D collect-a-thons, many folks who are now in their late 20s weren't old enough to play video games when the last one came out.

Sonic has at least continued to stay mildly relevant through regular game releases.

The fuck? I played tooie at launch and I'm 26

Banjo was more than one person, it was about the charm of the characters.

While I do love the charme of Banjo and the others, I feel the star of the show in Banjo-Kazooie is the marvelous level design. If it's just about the charme, then Nuts & Bolts is a very worthy successor.

Late 20s means they're 90s kids, I'm 28 and my life revolved around N64, Banjo included.

They really fucked up with Nuts & Bolts though, the reveal trailer was what everyone wanted and then they told everyone to fuck off and choke on vehicles.

It's a combination of a lot of things. Charm, humor, exploration, good controls, great music, great level design, gameplay variety (transformations) etc.

As soon as they decided to go with vehicles half of those things went out the window. It was definitely a charming game and I tried to enjoy it for what it was but what a fucking mistake.

I just want to jump on shit, climb shit, collect notes, talk to funny characters and explore a world. Not edit my car so it can fly through a ring and then edit my car again so it can win a race.

 

[Esppiral]

Please be Conker

The original game on N64 was hilariously fun as hell.

Agreed. I loved the dark humour in it, too.

Nuts and Bolts doesn't quite match the charm of the originals as much but it has its good moments.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Microsoft favorites new IP's now, a new Banjo would be interesting tho.

 

[Hendrick's]

Nuts n' Bolts was great, ahead of it's time in physics based vehicle building. Would love a sequel..

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Those other two figures better be the Gemini Twins... Jet Force Gemini sequel/remaster or bust.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Prepare to be disappointed xD

Microsoft what are you done to me!!


I want so Bad a New conker with the plot that he is in Jail... but made it by NINTENDO!!... NOT MICROSOFT

I feel the star of the show in Banjo-Kazooie is the marvelous level design.

I remember how much it totally blew my mind in Tooie that some of the levels had interconnected short cuts with each other.

Sure, in the age of open world games that's tame, but at the time it was a great subversion of expectations and is still neat.

From the depths of my memory comes this 4chan /v/ comic about Nuts and Bolts that still makes me laugh.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Probably Banjo over conker.

I would prefer conker but if Microsoft are censoring the word "god" in racing games and also the fact they censored the original game when they remade it... I wouldn't hold my breath it bring decent

I will never get over nintendo being conservative asshats and not buying rare. Ffs they already owned half back then lol.

 

[ResilientBanana]

I want another nuts and bolts.

 

[Yugrio1212]

I had to beg for the original Conkers from my mom. She was not happy. But i groveled for it successfully.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Painful truth is Banjo and Conker is RIP.

If history is anything to go by, retro games should stay in retro heaven. Any time they did a modern take for a sequel,it sucked. Only a remake sometimes works but a direct sequel to a beloved old game...automatic fail and id rather not have any.

 

[Mochilador]

What the hell happened to young Conker?

PoP Sands of Time was leagues better than PoP1-3.
DKC Returns was much better than DKC1-3.
Many will argue Metal Gear Solid is much better than Metal Gear.
Yoshi's Island DS is better than Yoshi's Story.
Metroid Prime is as good as Super Metroid.
