A few people who worked at Rare during Banjo 1 and 2 and DK64 development (and worked on them in some way) formed their own game company and are making a Banjo-ish platformer game. There will be a Kickstarter, but as far as I know it’s for extra stuff and the game will get made regardless of what happens with the Kickstarter. PC, Mac, and every current gen console are listed as being supported but the console versions might be decided through the Kickstarter, which goes up tomorrow, May 1.
From the title, I just knew damn well that we were getting bombarded by another spambot!

Here’s the Kickstarter. The final stretch goal is going to be met before the first day of funding is even over. I hope if they end up getting tons and tons of money it doesn’t negatively affect the game though. A lot of issues I’ve seen with Kickstarter games stems from getting multiple times what the devs are asking for and trying to shove things in to appease everyone that kept funding the game after the goal was met.
I’m pretty excited for this.

I played Banjo-Kazooie growing up and never beat it. Don’t have an N64 and don’t want to emulate without a controller. I guess now I’ll finally be able to play a game similar to it after all these years.
You can play emulated games with a controller. Unless you just don’t want to buy one.
I would use a controller, but poor + lazy.
Not to mention it just never feels right unless you’re using the original controller design. USB N64 controllers are rare as shit.
Or if you have a x360 just buy both Kazooie and Tooie on Live. Both play great, have excellent FPS, you don’t lose all your notes and have to recollect in a level if you die or leave it, and it has a fully functioning Stop & Swap.
Wow. Might actually have to start using my 360.
You can actually run B-K at 60 fps in an emulator but I tried it and at least on the level I’m currently on the game crashes in certain areas. Tooie apparently has emulation issues in general. It’s pretty cool that they run at 60 fps on the 360 though. Shame Microsoft never ported them to PC.
Orchestra stretch goal reached. New stretch goal is free DLC for backers, and they made sure to specify that it would be started on after the initial game is finished.
Also new character revealed, and I’ve been laughing at it all day.
It’s a snake with pants. His name is Trowzer. Yes. Trouser snake.
He also only has one eye.
