The Grunty's Revenge impressions.

[John]

Wow, it looks like this game is going to be great. Their impressions on the site make it sound as good as the N64 games.

So Kazooie is kidnapped. Does that mean we will see another Breegull other than Kazooie along the way? Possibly her relatives from the past? Anyway, it seems like the whole time travel thing has shaped up quite nicely. This is my most anticipated GBA game.

Why doesn't Mumbo just send Banjo back in time a couple of minutes to prevent Kazooie from being kidnapped lol? n/m That wouldn't have made for a very interesting game.

Since this game happens 2 years after BK the thing about the lost months between BK and BT on Rare's site must have been a misprint. I still think Grunty is going to do something in the past that causes BT to happen once her BK:GR plan begins to fail.

[Mystery Man]

I wonder why banjo lost the claw swipe. i know with rolling kazooies wings went out and around banjo, but i don't think she did anything with claw swipe. anyways, now I'm really looking forward to this game. i wonder how we'll learn the bill drill and maybe other moves from BT?

[JoeyTheTerrible]

Somehow, I still don't think this game replaces Banjo-Tooie in any "parallel timeline" concept. But I can't say yet.

I just hope there are some Back To The Future jokes and parodies. That'd make me happy.

[John]

I wonder what they will name the moles after they run out of names for glasses. Bozzeye lol...

Anyway, I think they didn't include the claw swipe from BT because it was kind of useless in BK with Kazooie and all. They probably just left it out in GR since they already left it out of BT and they want you to start out with a clean slate so you can learn new moves or something.

I really hope they don't cop out with an alternate reality story. I hope they come up with some clever ending and BT actually ends up happening. Of course we all know how clever they were with SNS >_<...

Don't mention SnS in this nice topic! Please!:mad: :p

I aint sure if it replaces BT, or happens before it, and she ends up back as a spirit in her body at the end, and then later her sisters come and rescue her in BT.

[Banjo-Fella]

I'm guessing that Banjo and Kazooie prevent Grunty's Revenge from ever happening. Thus Banjo-Tooie happens over where it took place afterwards.

[platinum jiggy]

maybe since kazooie is captured, you might save here half way through the game or something? and hopefully they will have some returning characters from bt.:)

[Professor X]

I just don't see how a handheld BK version is going to be superior to the N64 games. I mean it looks good, but it also looks like it'll just be a mere little side quest type game. I hope it's not, but I'm gonna have to read the reviews before I buy this one.

[Banjo-Fella]

I personally think it'll be just as good, if not better. Rare have great talent for 2D games, even Psuedo 3D games; Conker's Pocket Tales, Donkey Kong Land, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, to name a few.

I believe that Kazooie will be kidnapped several times. You obviously have to save Kazooie near the beginning of the game, and then Banjo and Kazooie team up to...er, save Kazooie, if you get me. Well, you can see it in this screenshot anyway:

[Benjo Koolzooie]

Oh yeah, thats very strange!

I have been lookin at the screen shots and they look quite good!

[Banjo-Fella]

"Quite good"!?!?! Quite good simply doesn't cut it. Have you seen other GBA games? It's graphics are unrivaled! :eek:

;) I was only joking about that ^^, but seriously, the graphics are excellent.

[Benjo Koolzooie]

Lol. "Quite Good" was an understatement I agree.

Compared to Castlevania and so on , on the GBA, the graphics could be classed "excellent on this Banjo game.

Happy now?:p

[Fiver]

BK:GR shall never replace the empty hole in my heart for a BK GC game....

[R Hunter]

Yeah Fiver I just how you feel I also have a GC and I wouldn't have it any other way. Yes I'd really like a Banjo game on GC but that's not going to happen but at the very least I can play his newest little adventure when it releases.

[Coolboyman]

They took out Claw Swipe because they wanted Banjo to learn a new move that he has to learn on his own to attack, and Banjo can claw swipe without kazooies help cause of the split up pads, so they changed it to a standing pecking attack.

[platinum jiggy]

Since the camera view is overhead all the time, Then I'm going to have a few doughts about this game.:(

Don't worry, there'll be variaty. The final Grunty battle looks as though it will be from behind Banjo. Also, a few other minigames will be different. Rare knows what they're doing, hun.

[platinum jiggy]

yeah but the jumping and stuff.

[Isaac2]

I wonder if they'll use the same method of talking they do or have text bubbles instead?

[Falcovsleon20]

Any screens or pics of Bozzeye? And that one screen they put up of a bunch of renders, is that a real screenshot or just a shot of a bunch of renders. Also note that Klungo now has a render and not a very good one.

[Isaac2]
