To say Banjo-Kazooie is a beloved franchise can be a little bit of an understatement. Banjo-Kazooie has a rabid fan base, one which erupted with happiness when the characters have been added to the roster of Tremendous Smash Bros. Final. Nonetheless, past their look there and their N64 outings being added to Nintendo Swap On-line, the collection has primarily been mothballed for years now. In response to composer Grant Kirkhope, that doubtless isn’t going to vary. Right here’s what he stated on X:
I’ve stated it earlier than … however .. I’ve zero hope for one more Banjo recreation, plus all you die laborious followers would immediately hate it and slag it off irrespective of how good it was , it by no means works.

Oof. Some people took these remarks like a punch to the intestine, however Kirkhope was fast to comply with up his first publish with one other:
I hope that final tweet didn’t come throughout as imply, the Banjo fanverse is an excellent factor, the response when Banjo bought into Smash Bros. is one thing I’ll keep in mind for the remainder of my life ❤️

No matter how Kirkhope put it, his level is fairly sound; followers will be notoriously laborious to please, and within the case of BK followers, doubtlessly impossibly so. Regardless, it’s disappointing that Microsoft and Uncommon have carried out so little with the model all these years. Hopefully that can change sooner or later sooner or later, however within the meantime, a minimum of followers have the classics to get pleasure from.
