Very glad of Microsoft buying Rare know.

Just started wondering what Banjo would have been like on Wii, can't think any of the moves would be any good at all. The Wii has got alot of good games, but I think Banjo Wii could have ruined Banjo for me.

Anybody else think differently?

I'm glad they moved to microsoft for this game, I mean the wii wouldn't support as much features as the 360 does like sharing blueprints and graphics.

I am happy that Banjo is on 360, not wii. I love the Wii, but only for sports games and stuff like that. this game belongs on a controller

I think Rare could work wonders with the Wii. They haven't flexed their creative muscles since Banjo-Tooie, imo.

I don't think it would be gimped at all. Of course, if the graphics were at least as good SMG and there was an excellent idea incorporating motion controls you'd still have what we have now. That is-

Fanboys crying about how Banjo is ruined and -motion controls- (Vehicles/same) don't belong in the game.

I don't think it would be that bad. The difficuly would be very low for the casual players though...that would be my main gripe.

Also, I'm not sure if they would have released the equivalent of BKLA and BTLA on WiiWare.

I've been happy from the start. I'm not a big fan of Nintendo, despite me owning a Wii >.> Talking about the Wii, I should be on my way to sell it... (seriously, I regret getting one).

I'd be... interested to see that alternate reality, but otherwise I'm fine with Microsoft funding Rare's development, even if they don't also fund their advertising.

I can't really see Banjo on Wii (although name sounds better than NAB ) but unless Banjo turned into a sports game, or had more first person I struggle to see it working. Guess boxing Banjo might kinda work but no.

Banjo Wii? We should have all been lucky they didn't call Banjo "Banjo '64" in 1998.

I actually wouldn't mind a Banjo FPS. Maybe they can add multiplayer to BT so we can have ordinance storage shewtouts.

I'm still a bit disappointed that they won't be making any more DK games

Prior to the buyout I would have disagreed, saying how much DK64 left much more to be desired and left me with little faith in their ability to reclaim the DKC magic.


But then I see how Nintendo are completely pissing all over DK...

Banjo wii could work but they would most likely be completely different to BK:NB. First, instead of trying to be creative with the inclusion of vehicles i would imagine they would do something with the motion controls to be creative (for the better or the worse is debatable). If they made simple and only use the motions controls for not much of the game (like super mario galaxy), Banjo wii would be quite fun.

You guys are comparing something with another thing that doesn't exist. You don't know if BK Wii (Acctually it was suppoused to be for Gamecube) was great or not. Maybe moving the Wii remote around would've been better then sitting on a couch in a deep dark corner.

Have you even player the Wii? You can pretty much do that in most of the games, Atleast I do. And i'll admit the gamecube version woul have been great.
