Banjo might be making a reappearance - possible new game and/or Smash newcomer.
Source 1 is from a reputable Twitter account that has leaked accurate Smash information before, and also suggests we could be hearing news on Banjo in a new main-series game as well as a potential fighter in Smash for the game's 20th anniversary.
This video explains the rumors more clearly. |

A new Banjo could be amazing. I wonder if they’d keep the Nuts and Bolts designs?

I doubt it, because none of the recent merch has used that design, and they know it wasn't as popular. If there's no BK/BT HD I'll actually be surprised at this point. We're getting new Battletoads so, its not unreasonable anymore to think they'll finally revive the bear.

I'm thinking new game + Smash DLC, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Smash character is very soon and the new game is in 2020.

I think HD would be a smart move to get this current generation of kids into Banjo, and THEN move on to a new game. Or maybe both, but the HD remake coming out a year before B3. It would also be less dangerous money wise to remake a game than to bet on a sequel to such an old franchise selling well right off the bat.

Feels like 2008 again. I don't want to get burnt again. But I am cautiously optimistic.

1998: Oh, a cool and quality new IP. What a unique and beloved childhood experience we have found ourselves to be in.
1999: I want more 2000: Fantastic, but that's too much more 2001: Silence 2002: Microsoft buyout. What now becomes of birb and bear, we wonder? 2003: Grunty's Revenge 2004: Silence 2005: Banjo Pilot 2006: New Banjo trailer shown at E3. Hype 4 dayz 2007: Enthusiastic speculation and wild theory-mongering 2008: *flashbacks of vietnam* 2009: Dead silence 2010: Dead silence 2011: Dead silence 2012: Dead silence 2013: Surely a new Banjo this year 2014: Surely a new Banjo this year 2015: Surely a new Banjo this year New company Playtonic Games reveals itself, sheds light on their new game Yooka-Laylee. 2016: Surely a new Banjo this year Continued talk about Yooka. The wait between Nuts and Bolts and a new B-K game now officially becomes longer than the wait from Tooie to NaB was 2017: Surely a new Banjo this year Yooka comes out. Some enjoy it, some don't. Yet somehow we all ended up with more of a gap in our hearts after playing than before 2018: B-K turns 20. SURELY A NEW- Literally gets almost no acknowledgement whatsoever 2019: (>You are here<) Surely a new Banjo this year 2020: Surely..... this... time.....? 2033: Half-Life 3 comes out 3072: Roysten the goldfish gets added as a character in Mario Kart 127 |

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I will be recording my reactions so I can savor the tears of happiness or disappointment for all time.

1999 - DK64 released. It looks like B-K2! 2000 - No way. Banjo-Tooie released. This is a true B-K2. 2008 - Nuts & Bolts is not a promised Banjo-Threeie. Is it a Banjo game at all? 2017 - Yooka-Laylee is a true Banjo-Threeie just without bear and bird...and the witch. 2033 - a prequel to HL2 is finally released! 2133 - a prequel to HL is finally released! |

I used to be of the opinion that Nuts and Bolts was a good game but just wasn't 'a Banjo game', but that's dumb. In terms of storyline, the universe, the characters and everything else BESIDES the gameplay, Nuts and Bolts is a true sequel to Banjo-Tooie. ...Obviously I don't think of it that way, because I know what I'm playing is something of a Mario Kart x Tinkertoys crossover spinoff, but I do still consider it the 'third game'.

Wait, hold on – People actually READ the bosh I post on this website? I assumed no one was listening to the equivalent of an old man vociferating at the mailbox. Are you all mad? No wonder RWP hasn't had new members in a decade.
Why would nice things ever happen Well not long now, till we find out. I feel so dead inside at this point in regards to hope for Banjo that I've become a hollow husk of a man, sipping my stimulating beverage of choice with only a sort of detached, 'whatever, man...' to offer. Save me, Gregg. Last edited by qwertykins76; 9th June 2019 at 06:48 PM. |
