So if you want to play Banjo Kazooie today you can do so on Xbox.

*Laughter*

I know this is a Nintendo broadcast but please give the game a try. On Xbox.

*Laughter*


We live in weird times.

It's never been any secret that it's only the fanboys who care who's "winning" any given console war.

Not many people know that Nintendo and Microsoft were talking before the Xbox released. They even considered entering into some sort of arrangement. Microsoft showed off Xbox prototype consoles to Nintendo.

Relatively smaller stores here don't even carry the console or its games in stock.

Yeah Xbox in Japan is a disaster. I don't think Banjo-Kazooie is popular there either.

until they port the original games to Switch, the Xbox is the only way to play them on modern consoles.

I'm honestly surprised that Microsoft isn't rereleasing the Banjo games on the Switch, considering the other former Xbox-exclusives that they've released on Switch.

It's probably more because those were from indie developers and Microsoft was happy for them to make the port.

Rare is a first party studio who probably are busy with other stuff.

I wouldn't rule it out though. It is easy money.

They offered to port Rare Replay to Wii U years ago, be sweet to get it on Switch and toss the DKC games in. I'd buy the ish out of that

That's a myth. B-K was successful in Japan

Why the fuck can't Nintendo just buy Rare back and make a decent B-K game? Or at least allow the original two games be ported to the Switch? Microsoft did the series and the company an utter disservice.

Buying the Banjo IP would have a greater chance at producing a good sequel than trying to get Rare back, most of the people who were involved with the series left Rare.

At any rate, I'd be tickled pink if sales for Rare Replay and the Banjo games rose a little after this because of Sakurai's promotion. Smash Bros. makes people try out new franchises they haven't played before.

Did everyone forget that Nintendo and Microsoft made a Minecraft commercial together?

I doubt Nintendo would say no to any Microsoft games on Switch

Was that when Yamauchi told Ballmer to suck his balls?

Wait wait wait, why don't we have the Goldneye remake if Nintendo and Microsoft are now buddy buddy?

Does EA/Activision still have the Bond license?

When Nintendo was in bad financial shape, Bill Gates personally called up the President of Nintendo and said 'if you ever want to sell the company, call me and tell me how much.'

IIRC, that was as they were designing the Xbox.
