Banjo-Kazooie - Two good games and a third that was shit

[TrippinKahlua]

I finally got myself a copy of Banjo Tooie at the convention I was at this weekend. Can't wait to play it.

You won't regret it.

I loved the first two games as a kid. I played those fuckers until my N64 broke.

 

[AnimuGinger]

Fuck all of the water levels in the first game.

That's all I'll say.

also check out Grunty's Revenge for GBA it's a overhead style game but it's not bad for a non 3d banjo game, at least it felt like a banjo game unlike nuts and bolts

I fucking loved the original B-K and Tooie. I played the absolute hell out of them both when I was a wee lad.

N&B was an utterly soulless and hollow clusterfuck of gimmicks, ugly visual diarrhea, and a really shit storyline. The devs pretty much sucked out everything that I enjoyed about the first two games.

shame the only thing Rare did between N&B and Sea of Thieves (I heard this is shit at launch but I'm not sure how it is nowadays) was just shitty kinect games...

Over a decade later, wonder if Rare doesn't regret getting bought out by Microsoft.

Basically none of the old school guys are left there to regret it tbh

Last I recall, Gregg Mayles and Robin Beanland are still there, they did work on Sea of Thieves.

Now that I think about it, Gregg was pretty much the father of the B-K series (for instance, he designed the layouts for the levels), so maybe that's why Yooka-Laylee was such a disappointment in spite of having a number of other series veterans working on it.

No one ever mentions the GBA game Gruntilda’s revenge :’(

Never played it, is it any good?

For a GBA Banjo Kazooie game, Yeah its decent. The story isn’t super different from Banjo Tooie and it has a lot of many games. I personally enjoyed it though

Banjo-Kazooie got a PC port via recompilation (the same way they did Majora's Mask)

Subtitle should read "and a third that was the shit"

I guess i will no longer need a Xbox console in order to play Banjo with some QoL improvements.

Also the whole design document for Stop 'n' Swop dropped a little while back.
