Since xbox live and the gamepass are coming to the switch and will probably be revealed officially either at e3 or at some random date it’s safe to say Microsoft is going to get a rep in smash
With banjo kazooie being on the game pass and Phil spencer mentioning 3 times that he would like to see banjo in smash I’m starting to think he’s in
Sakurai literally said he doesn't consider characters who don't have a future, and Rare has no interest in making a new Banjo
Logan Myers
He said it’s rare for a character with no future to make it into smash not that he never does it
Also didn’t megaman get a new game a couple years after he was added to smash if so why can’t banjo get a new game or a remake down the line by either rare or another company
Ryder Turner
Because MS has to agree to it, and they don't care, neither does Rare.
Andrew Harris
I’m not sure who calls the shots with making a new game or a remaster but Phil spencer clearly cares about banjo kazooie they are just scared about how many people would care for a new game and how many sales it would make
With banjo being in the game pass they would be able to look at how many downloads those games get on the switch And if banjo make it into smash after seeing everyone’s reaction to his reveal and seeing how many people buy him as dlc they might want to make a new game
Carter Clark
They brought back fucking Killer Instinct & Battletoads. MS will make another Banjo, they’re just waiting for the right devs to come along it seems like.
William Jenkins
Can't forget, Bros, that Phil is pushing really hard for the duo to be remembered. Nintendo knows there is a massive following for them.
That rule clearly doesn't apply 100% of the time because otherwise we wouldn't get the retro reps, and despite what people say the chances of Banjo getting another game, even if it's just a remake, aren't zero.
Levi Roberts
I will continue to endure all the vitriol against me until all five of the fighters have been shown.
I think you guys give phil spencer way too much importance
Carter Perry
How so?
Cooper Price
Well he is the head of xbox
Isaiah Thompson
He's their only remaining hope. It's confirmed Nintendo is choosing the DLC, and unlike Phil, they don't care about Banjo. So they have to blow Phil's tweets out of proportion.
Evan Howard
feel free, i can't see her being a possibility in this game.
People bring up Phil because it seems likely that Nintendo and Microsoft could collaborate to put a Microsoft character in Smash at this point, and if that does end up happening then Banjo is basically guaranteed to be that character.
Joseph Long
How does Nintendo choosing the dlc negatively effect banjo’s chance? Microsoft and Nintendo are working together pretty closely with Xbox live and gamepass coming to switch so it highly likely they will get a rep and since master chief has been deconfirmed it’s probably going to be Banjo or Steve
And in an interview late 2016 Phil mentions banjo in smash ausgamers.com/news/read/3563821/phil-spencer-id-love-to-see-mario-on-xbox > I know I get questions all the time on would I ever like to see Banjo in Super Smash Bros. and I’m, like, “yes, I would do that in a second”. And certain people think I’m saying that as some sort of PR answer and I’m, like, why wouldn’t you?
Has the indie gamer chick tweet been proven real or fake
I’m leaning on it being fake but that doesn’t mean what she said isn’t going to happen
Brayden Allen
I'm leaning towards fake because of some of the other stuff she said that was blatant nonsense. I don't think anything's happened to prove it one way or the other yet, though.
Is it possible for some Business user to explain if it's cheaper to acquire rights of the Banjo-kazooie franchise for Smash?
I have a feeling that it would be cheaper and easier to get the rights as opposed to Minecraft.
Kevin Butler
could I have a link to this
Mason Young
Someone in another thread said it would be harder to get the right for Minecraft representation in smash but that doesn’t really matter since both teams would like their character in smash and if Nintendo wants a character bad enough I don’t think that much would stop them
Nathan Mitchell
I could hear the music, man.
Liam White
The tweet has been deleted by now but this is the original tweet but she made some more tweets about it
She has had connections to Microsoft for a while but she has made some other claims that were false so no one really knows if it’s real or not
This, it's pretty clear that Microsoft aren't content to sleep on Rare's IPs anymore, they just don't trust nuRare with them (which is probably for the best).
Samuel Myers
are There any other Microsoft reps that could make it into smash
One character that could be interesting is cuphead
Anthony Thompson
microsoft owns banjo you cuck. they could easily let other dev make a new banjo game
Leo Butler
>banjokeks think he’s in because muh gamepass
Angel Collins
Yeah that’s probably why nuRare doesn’t want to make a new banjo game since if they mess up people will be pissed
Connor Anderson
Not him but that video means nothing. It's a vague answer given by PR people who don't know anything about the big stuff that happens at Microsoft. It's like asking the receptionist at Konami's HQ if Snake will return in Smash and he said "I don't know maybe?".
James Johnson
Post characters that could be DLC that people are sleeping on.
>People think gamepass is actually happening on switch lol
Landon Thomas
Well banjo kazooie, tooie, And NnB are on the gamepass so this would be the first time in a long time banjo is on a Nintendo console so why not celebrate that a little and he is one of the top requested character for dlc so now is a good time to do it
David Allen
Yeah I wasn’t so sure about that video meaning anything
Adam Perez
Most of Capcom's characters, honestly.
Chase Lopez
Yet Mr.Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, F-Zero, Pit, Ness, Lucas, Snake, Dark Pit, Palutena, FUCKING ROB, Lil Mac, & Duck Hunt are characters....You should go to a doctor.
