I'd laugh if the *brilliant* new game mechanic ended up being something like controlling Banjo with a banjo.

...wait. No I wouldn't. Although it would be good for my rusty blue grass skills.

They'd have to call it "Banjo Hero"

I kept imagining the new mechanic to be something like Pikmin when I thought about it before; playing as Banjo and Kazooie and using their moves for certain things, but having the ability to give orders to Jinjos around you for certain tasks; Jinjos in tanks to blast larger objects or Jinjo infantry to scout out in smaller areas Banjo can't fit through.

But then I keep hearing this "it'll be different than anything else" business. Stop teasing us, Rare... just show us what you're talking about already.

That would be awesome. The whole "something that hasn't been done before" is a massive tease and it makes it impossible for us to speculate. How can we possibly imagine something that we've never seen before? Everything I think of has been done by someone else. Perhaps I'm just not creative enough.

Don't sell yourself short, Manders. They had years to think of and perfect this mechanic, not to mention whole teams dedicated to creating it.

Hopefully we can get a small example of this "new mechanic gameplay" in e3, or the next EGM issue.

I really wouldn't take anything BRM says as gospel. He just figured out the codes for the sand castle lead to a dead end.

It was on one of those random google links. I posted it as those dates seemed fairly accurate. They say it will be released around the hollidays any ways.

Hey, I already gave my appologies for that! I had no idea someone else posted it. As I said, i'm new around here, so give me a break huh? C'mon, gimme some slack here.

Bah, it's all good. I guess it was somewhat funny. Just uh, don't go spreadin the new's that I messed up. It's a little embarassing, ya' know?
