rally skunk@rallyskunkfd@Canadianguyehh It really sounds like the current Rare doesn't really want to associate with the IP at all, mainly because hardly any of the people that worked on the series is there anymore. Most we will continue to get is occasional merchandise that we'll all gobble up.
PD Proto Dad@dad_proto29015@BringBackBanjoK I'm not sure we will ever get Banjo. I mean the response to Smash was huge; it literally spiked sales of the XB in JPN, and the online reaction was huge as well. And still we got nothing...If that didn't prompt it, nothing will at this point.
G2 G2ThaUNiT@G2ThaUNiT@Canadianguyehh I mean, I’m at least grateful for the Evercade remaster that’s coming lol arguably gonna be the definitive versions of the first 2 games
SM Stephen M.@3v3nMoR@WalmartCAGaming @ToysForBob Agreed! Even if they just did Kazooie/Tooie for remakes, I'd be happy.
JU JustAPlayer37@JustAPlayer37@HibbySloth @MyNintendoNews F U C K MICROSOFT!
SK Sync Kun@Stardus63556727@BringBackBanjoK Dang we need that pitch
