Mechanically Mario Odyssey looks like Banjo Kazooie 3.

If you're asking why no major publisher is making them, they claimed there was no longer a market for platformers.

Or that it's much more profitable to make a FPS with multiplayer and lootboxes.

yeaaaah no. I'm a huge n64 and Rare fanboy and DK64 was fun at the time, but was almost a chore to complete. Tried playing it again a couple years ago and just couldn't do it. Gameplay is clunky and it just doesn't feel polished like BK or BT (both of which I recently beat in the last two years and thoroughly enjoyed). DK64 did not age well at all.

BT>BK

I agree, BT is still the best collectathon ever made, though Odyssey might change my mind, we'll see

It was the greatest disaster of all time except for like fifty shittier kickstarter disasters.

IDK, I backed it, then the Wii U version was cancelled and the Switch version is nowhere to be seen. :P I heard it was pretty bad though.

There really isn't much room to improve on Tooie. Making a better game than it would be hard. 3D collectathon platformers have generally fallen out of vogue since gen 5/early gen 6, though, particularly with Rare collapsing. Their place has kind of been taken by open-world games, which share a lot of common elements (namely the emphasis on exploration to find arbitrary stuff), but that's still not the same.

All the collection stuff is in gambling loot crates now. You can relive those golden days one 11 for 5.99 bundle of rolls at a time.

they did. It's called Psychonauts.

Poi is really good too. They need to tighten up the controls but i blame the engine they use.

Okay, finally got around to playing Yooka-Laylee. it's ehhhh. There are some nice ideas here, but overall the level design is heavily flawed and confusing at times. Also quizzes. Isn't the gameshow from BK and the quiz from BT the universally most hated parts of those games? So why would they put more in this one, it makes no sense.

I liked the quiz part of BK. I don't really remember how they did it in BT cause I've only played through that once. It probably is a tired concept at this point

Tooie is almost too big for me. I get lost and there's never any directions. Kazooie is a lot simpler and more fun
