Be honest. What was your reaction?

Honestly the only character that made me in awe. Banjo is like 20 years old, long-dead, and a western franchise. I'm surprised he got in, and with how old it is, it's like he's been resurrected.

Also stevezoomers btfo. The only good character reveal honestly in Smash. So good.

Spine froze solid once I saw the Jiggy bounce by. Put my hands on my head and just watched in pure joy. I couldn't stop smiling for 3 hours afterward, kept rewatching it.
I know it's not the cure to cancer, it's not solving world hunger and it's not gonna change my life, but it was so heartwarming to me to finally see Banjo and Kazooie in Smash. Hell, it's heartwarming just to see them again, period.

Happier for my friend than myself because he loves B&K

My reaction was to immediately laugh at stevefags.

Utter disbelief because I had convinced myself it was never going to happen in an attempt to avoid being disappointed. It's still surreal to me and I have to remind myself that yes, it is real. Banjo Kazooie is my childhood defining game, so seeing them in a game again after all this time fills me with so much joy. Smash Bros is a celebration of video games, and I am really happy my favorite duo is here to party.

I never played them, but some close friends absolutely love the Banjo games, and I was happy for them

When the jiggy bounced across the screen I muttered "no fucking way" and had the exact same stupid grin on my face as I did throughout Ridley, the Belmonts, and K Rool

This. Followed by, "this is actually a clever trailer, banjo is actually pretty ok, could've been a lot of worse. Wish he hadn't broken Yea Forums so I could talk about nmhiii."

happy that it actually happened, not as much as to see banjo in.

I have no idea why I was laughing, but I was. Very hard too.

Pretty damn hyped, even though I was more a Blast Korps and Jet Force Gemini guy during the golden age of Rare.

I had a big grin on my face, they recreated the characters really well. My nephews were split, though. One of them has played the first two through Rare Replay and he enjoyed himself (he's big on platformers) so he seemed happy. The other was unimpressed with the Direct as a whole, and I think he was bitter that the characters that got in weren't his sort (when we play Smash he plays Bowser and Little Mac exclusively, and honestly not well).

I don't know why but Banjo surprised me way more than ridley or k rool did. like, he was THE never ever character

Attached: 1560310379246.png (384x240, 5K)

It felt like the Ridley and K. Rool trailer in how surreal it felt. When I hear people talk about something so often for so long, I always write it off as something that will never actually happen. Another thing that made it feel surreal was the character/s themselves; while I can't say I was ever a huge fan of the games(I like the first one better at least), there's always been this small fascination I had with them, that lingering "what if?" feeling whenever I heard people talk about them. "What if Rare didn't get bought out? What if their popularity wasn't killed in the crib? What if they became a real household name like other nintendo properties?"

So seeing B&K run around in their n64 designs was really cool, it felt like a glimpse into an alternate reality where their relevancy never dived off and they stayed with nintendo. And I'm glad a lot of people were really happy for it, they're a genuinely nice character design and their music is fantastic.
also fuck them, their Wonderwing special is basically what I wanted as a Speed Booster side special move for Samus

Banjo is the prince of never ever.
The true absolute king of never ever EVER is Geno.

I thought it was nice. I was more excited for DQ, but I think both of them were a long time coming.

When I saw the Jiggy, I just said "oh cool, it's banjo" and then watched the rest pretty happily. My favorite reveals were K. Rool and Joker.

Pretty much this, it was just too perfect.

something about banjo's face in this pic looks very wrong to me. He looks great in game but there's just some uncanny shit going on here.

I'm just glad the Steve and Banjo shit is mostly over. I wish Stevefags would just fuck off though. Literal cancer.

Exactly the same user. I've put zero hope into them. Now I have to stop the urge about thinking of a new Banjo game. But maybe we'll get the Rare Replay stuff on Switch

I'm super glad for his fans but honestly just glad it wasn't Steve. Not that I having Minecraft representation in the game would be bad, but if they got in before Banjo or instead of Banjo, people dont realize how much worse shit posting on v would of been.

I had a dumb smile because I really liked the original game. I don't even play smash but I'm glad he got in since we might be getting a remake on the switch.

I've spent months of my life telling banjofags they're just as pathetic as geno shills. I was happy, surprised, and regretful all at once.

I thought the duck hunt dog fakeout was just a fakeout for the sake of fakeouts sake. Everyone already knew it was Banjo, even if they didn't see the jiggy they knew his likeness in the silhouette wouldn't have gone amiss. Anyway, I don't really play Smash anymore so I wasn't too hyped, but I was happier to see someone who wasn't a generic anime swordsman.

Tears of Joy

I never played banjo but god I was happy for the people who waited for so long I know that feeling.
because i wanted dragon quest hero for so long too

I'd smash sue

After years of constant crushing disappointment, mental preparation that it would never happen, and people laughing at Banjo fans for wanting to believe he had a shot in hell, Sakurai made a miracle happen.
I was just laughing with a single tear in my eye. Probably the happiest a game has ever made me.

Sakurai once said something like "franchises that have no future are rarely considered." So that on top of belonging to Microsoft made Banjo seem unthinkable.

The biggest reason was because Nintendo's direct competitor, Microsoft, owned the IP. There was also
>Rare's disinterest in the series
>hasn't had a game since 2008
>before Banjo there were 0 western owned IPs in Smash
>the fact that if Microsoft were to get involved in Smash, people assumed it would be Chief or Steve

The fact that Microsoft owns him you fucking idiot

An odd quiet sentimental feeling of joy where I went stiff and breathed strangely.

Not as surprised as I thought I'd be. I never played Banjo so I didn't really care. Happy for Banjofags though.

Even with the leaks I still wasn't really expecting it so I flipped out. I didn't really care if he got in or not, but I always considered Banjo super unlikely so I was really shocked. The love shown for the series in the trailer melted my icy heart.

1, he's a MS character and it wasn't really clear if Nintendo and MS where chummy enough to do something like this

2, if they where, Steve would have made more sense from a corporate perspective cause he's the hottest shit among the kids these days

Sony would probably rather burn their entire company down to the ground that give Nintendo anything even if you could argue it benefits them too

This is the only anime swordsman that I'll tolerate in Smash.

You have to hand it to whoever directed these reveal trailers.
The K. Rool fakeout was pretty funny to begin with, but retreading it with Banjo was absolutely fantastic.

I was at work, so I had to contain my emotions, but I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw them. I always preferred Banjo-Kazooie to Mario and Zelda as a kid, and I always wondered why they didn’t put them in Melee. It was always sad to me to see the franchise and characters neglected and forgotten, since the two Banjo-Kazooie games were flagship entries in the N64 library. Seeing them in Smash after 20 years of waiting gives me hope that we’ll someday see Banjo-Threeie.

Completely missed the Jiggy because i was too busy paying attention to K. Rool sleeping. Had a slight chuckle at them reusing the same gag with the duck hunt dog. That was about it i honestly dont care about banjo and never played the games. There are FAR worse characters that could have gotten in the game though.

I can't believe Garcian is in, bros...

Pretty sure Grant confirmed that other Banjo-Kazooie arragements would be left to Japanese composers.

I didn't really care but I was glad others were happy with it

i was watching the trailer with someone else after not having slept the previous night, after seeing the DQ rep video i thought that was it. then the next smash reveal trailer for banjo started and i had no clue what to expect. i didn't even process the jiggy bouncing until the person next to me pointed out a jiggy just bounced. the next couple of seconds until banjo showed up felt like time slowed down as i began to realize banjo just got into smash.

at this point i'm not picky about who gets in anymore, the never ever trio is in and that's all that matters

The last two will be Sora from Kingdom Hearts and Solaire of Astora

This is the first western composer to be featured in a Smash game:

>t was when E3 had moved to Atlanta [1997]. Nintendo had a party in a museum, and we all got hideously drunk. I saw [Rare founder] Tim Stamper talking to Miyamoto, and I introduced myself as the composer of Banjo-Kazooie, totally drunk. He just looked at me with the blankest expression, he couldn’t tell what I was saying. A while later, I was in the bathroom—and this is embarrassing—I was trying to pull down [Donkey Kong 64 designer] George Andreas’ trousers for a joke. I was on my knees and I looked up to see Miyamoto staring down at me. That was the last time I spoke to him.

I truly have no words for how happy I was. Even when the leak had credibility my instincts and past experiences told me to prepare for disappointment. Hell, even when the jiggy bounced i couldn't believe it, it might've been a piece of a golden banana or something, maybe they decided to put the silhouette and all we get is duck hunt trolling us not revealing anything just to fuck with us because why not. I was so conditioned to be discouraged and so used to disappointment when it came to this franchise that when the bear and bird dropped down and the title card was revealed my brain shut down to the point and I was screaming and crying with joy so much that I didn't even pay attention to the moveset and missed the trailer to BOTW 2. I have finally remembered what hope and joy genuinely feel like and Sakurai will always have my gratitude for potentially helping to bring life into a franchise that has been dead to me for so many fucking years. Pic related is to all of the anons that have died waiting for our friends to come back home.

plus my favorite pick getting in motivated me to try to get into dragon quest so that is another positive.

Nintendo needs to not only buy Banjo from Microsoft but they need to buy Jak from Sony too. Naughty "We don't use the word fun" Dog is incapable of making another Jak game without killing the series further than it already is. Imagine if Nintendo was in charge of a Jak IV. They could make it so Jak is going back to the past with the classic collectathon gameplay, and going to the future with GTA style missions. They could address many plotholes introduced in Jak 3, and also explain basic things we should know like who his mom was. Two open interconnected worlds with shit to do besides looking for green eggs on a timer would be GOTY. Of course this is never going to happen, and Sony is either going to let the series rot, or make an ungodly sequel that makes Jak transgender, and changes Daxters voice actor to Eddie Murphy.

happiest I've felt in a long time

None of the dlc characters have been interesting to me

It wasn't that surprising, and I don't really care one way or the other about Banjo himself, so I didn't really care.

This is why nothing they'll ever do will ever take the joy out of this victory. All their bullshit was flung right back at them after all the garbage they flung before. They were wrong, and no amount of shitposting will ever erase that fact.

Yea Forums is nothing but newfags now. You literally killed all interest in posting in Yea Forums smash threads. Good luck to nintendo when all the so called Banjo fans demand whatever the echo chamber that the nu-smash community thinks is a good idea to add to smash now.

You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation

It's strange because he hasn't had any new games in ages. And this won't quarantee any either.
But it makes other people happy, so I guess it's alright.

if you think ridley or k rool weren't based you are a banjo bandwagoner

please post the link

I was watching with friends and I was the first one to make the RareWare connection when I saw K. Rool. I immediately shouted "it's Banjo!" and the rest or my friends joined me with the hooting and hollering.

Yooka design as his name sound and look more girly to me.
Also it would be good to not entirely copy banjo kazooie to that extent and give room to more creativity
But im happy that they are making more games about that pair.
and that they were not asking for more money like several kikestarters is a good feeling.
maybe they improve over time.

You never know, they might be working on a new game. They were planning a new Kid Icarus game around the time Pit was announced for Brawl.

It's a stretch but I think Click Clock Wood's spring is in the introduction of the song.

I jumped up and shouted "NO FUCKING WAY" when the jiggy bounced. Then I had the biggest grin on my face the rest of the vid. I teared right the fuck up when I saw Grant's vid of him saying they were home though.

I haven't' played smash since gamecube so I didn't give a fuck.

I don't give a shit about Banjo but I was happy for everyone who really wanted him. To me it seemed like lots of people didn't really believe he'd be in when he always seemed like the safest guess for DLC. The trailer was also pretty well done, I enjoyed it.

My heart sank for a moment when i heard it, because i couldn't fucking believe what i was seeing. Then i saw the attention to detail (And how fucking good Kazooie's model was) and it finally clicked that "it's not a joke, it's real...holy fuck it's real...this BETTER mean a new game Nintendo!"

Shocked and so fucking happy.
Really fun trailer with the Rare characters all together, and the ending shot with Banjo and Kazooie striking a pose in front of the other characters was pure kino.

I'm also glad that both Erdwick and Banjo got into Smash so that the Stevefags can fuck off. They've tried to come back with different shitpost characters to root for but not nearly as annoying as before E3.

Happiest I've been in a long fucking time, it was probably the highlight of my whole year. I'm still on cloud 9. I missed Banjo so much.

The way he squeezed his toes down in the trailer at the camera drove me crazy. I really was happy to see a clear foot shot in there. I'm glad so many artists had the same idea as me. In fall I'll be deep in the camera viewer under Banjo.

I liked it. I don't think the way they announced it could have been any better. I'm also really happy minecraft didn't get in

I smiled but ultimately I don’t give a fuck. I don’t play party games.

wahahaaaah!

“Isn’t that the banjo guy? Ok”

Honestly that picture just felt like a big welcome back. Smash, I feel, has evolved into a celebration of video games rather than a party fighter amongst a companies big shots. It feels like the only place video game characters can be what they just are, video game characters, and Banjo’s trailer just made me feel that way. Not to be a sappy fag or anything, but I just felt like a lot of love went into the trailer

It's the amiibo.

>WAS THAT A JIGGY
>HOLY SHIT ABOUT TIME

It's basically like Unreal Tournament's lore about big companies doing competitive combat recreationally as a sport, but with a lot more companies, and no gore.

The crux of Steveposting was the idea that he'd get in instead of Banjo. Banjo getting in has utterly obliterated that, there's a reason all Steve threads now just get a handful of replies making fun of them and then die.

We need a successor to subspace emissary to utilize all the characters together. Like an MCU kind of thing. Fleshed out personalities, interactions, and gameplay approaches.

It could be that or a sliver of the main theme.

>That part in the reveal were banjo was about to enter grunty lair
That was just an obvious nod to the camera pan and music change when you start walking the bridge in B-K, just like the giant Ivysaur pancakes stint at the end.

>just like the giant Ivysaur pancakes stint at the end
That really should've been snake sleeping instead

All those characters in the back played an integral part in Nintendo's history even Sonic for the Nintendo vs. Sega rivalry and eventual partnership, this is like it's saying that Banjo-Kazooie is just as important to the company as these other series.

Are people actually this stupid?

Yes. Watch reaction videos and people get angry over it all the time.

Why is DA CUNT facing the wrong way?

Prob but basically it was just a paragraph about how stupid people were for ever even thinking Banjo could get in, basically what you'd expect.

I was happy for the Banjofriends who got their dream character in finally, and although I haven't ever played it myself I was super excited to see him finally in just because he looks so faithful to his series. It looked like everything was crafted with love, and no matter what it is, that just makes me happy.
After the fact, i also got pretty happy at what this could mean for Ninty and MS's relationship now, which opened up a breadth of new possibilities. On top of that, I'd be stoked if another MS IP got in as DLC, like Halo or Minecraft. I know you guys are prolly tired of the grotesque Steveposting and shit, but I genuinely do like Minecraft and wouldn't mind getting a character or stage for it in smash; but I won't whine if it doesn't happen. I'm just glad we already have what we have.

K. Rool had his 'treasure' stolen by Joker in Joker's reveal. In P5 this would mean removing the 'malice' from his heart, so naturally in the next trailer he's DK's friend.
Smash 4's trophy description even hinted at it.
>North America Whereas Mario often squares off against Bowser, Donkey Kong must fight against King K. Rool. He's a big croc with a big attitude...and a tiny crown. He probably could have been Donkey Kong's most trustworthy animal friend. Think he'll ever have a change of heart? Not likely.

Meh. The music is nice I guess

Damn, didn't know there were non-obnoxious stevefags out there

I figured it was Banjo from second one. The re-use of K.Rools trailer just kinda grabbed me for some reason.

If I'm being honest I was talking to someone over discord so didn't catch the Jiggy so that slipped me. Had a big smile on my face the entire time and actually shed a tear. Prior I didn't care if he got in but I didn't realize just how much I missed him.

Honestly something Minecraft themed could be pretty creative. Stage hazards, intractable blocks, stage theme switching between the three worlds while the stage is a differently rearranged setup each time. It would be neat to see. But holy fuck all the drama this past year's completely caused a schism.

I'm fairly certain they make DLC characters viable at the very least, and broken at the most early on. Otherwise people wouldn't buy them to play them.

I’ll never be able to talk about the n64 games again without shit like haha kazooie poop on me haha because of this. Forever tainted by zoomers and their miimiis

Enjoyed the games when I was younger but not to the extent that I would lose my shit over this. It played like every other collect-a-thon at the time

I did

well I mean, if you spend too much time on Yea Forums that's kinda inevitable in all honestly; this place is the hive of terrible Steve shitposters.
I just think it's a charming little game with a lot to pull from!

Totally, I think it could be really unique in Smash's setting. Funnily enough, while the shitposting here on Yea Forums has gotten worse than it's ever been, everywhere else I look more people are returning to Minecraft as genuine fans. It's kind of heartwarming

So I hear everybody saying this, and I'm not familiar with the rivalry between the kongs and krool since I didn't play the DKC games. Why is it weird? Is it not like Mario and Bowser?

I think plant might've been Melee Pichu 2. Meanwhile Joker is dominating from what I hear.

Yah I mean there's not that much content or games out there depicting them hanging out so I guess it was just kind of jarring. Fits with the humor of Smash though, didn't really bother me too much

HOLY SHIT CONFIRMED

Tbh i felt nostalgic as fuck when i started seeing the moveset animations. Still wont be buying it since i dont give a shit about smash

First game K. Rool is in he tries stealing the entire banana horde to try and force the Kongs into starvation, fracks the shit out of the mountainside for metals, refines them and manufactures weapons and materials at his factory which he designed so it'd spew heavy pollution into the surrounding forest and lake, melted the ice and snow from the mountain tops (that's why there weren't any ice levels in Donkey Kong 64 or Donkey Kong Country Returns), and then in a last ditch effort was going to bombard the island with his ship's cannons destroying as much as possible. That's all canon in DKC1 too.
What'd Bowser do in his first game, turned some midgets into boxes while failing to get laid?

It fit. K. Rool and diddy kong first appeared in a Rare game

Turned the midgets into bricks but otherwise you're spot on.

To be fair, turning them into boxes would make it harder to get laid with them.

This shit just feels complete.

Attached: 1560735901805.png (1699x357, 469K)

K. Rool is a slightly more sinister character than Bowser. Outside of Sluggers he's never portrayed as being "frenemies" with DK, and none of the games he's in portray him with any sort of "hidden depth" or positive qualities, which Bowser has.
Of course this is obviously due to the Rare buyout leaving the character with no real room for expansion since DK 64, where Bowser was equally as 2-dimensional. In an alternate universe K. Rool probably has just as much characterization as Bowser, if not more.

Give me one good reason a Metal Slug character wouldn't be perfect

That'd be magnificent, though most likely if they did do that it would be whenever Steve died.
Imagine how he'd be interpreted in the trailer animations; they can make a huge joke out of Steve being entirely deadpan about everything, kind of just minding his own business the hole time one of the only time his deadpan expression would be in a taunt, in which he hears a hissing sound and freaks out

Attached: D6wOtfKW4AAc3pp.jpg (640x507, 38K)

I know that Joker disqualifies the "real guns aren't allowed" argument (even though Joker's gun technically isn't real) but I still doubt you'd have a character straight-up firing a shotgun.
That aside, a MS character would be great and fit into the game well, even if it's pretty much impossible.

add the 4 secret characters, mewtwo, bowser, dedede and marth, and you have the entire planned smash 64 roster

In an alternate universe you might get laid lmao

For sure was hyped, but cos I'm not a spastic hungry for attention I didn't scream like aaaa fucking autist. I let out one whoop but aside from that I was grinning from ear to ear and when the music was released I just put that one track on repeat for an hour.

I was pretty surprised since I thought Nintendo was far too bitter and stubborn to put a first party they lost to a competitor on their system. I also stopped watching the Direct half way through to go to the park, and made sure not to spoil it for myself by coming here (though I didn’t expect their to be anything to spoil)

Were Steveposters even genuine? I thought it was all trolling/irony from the start, especialy with that deliberately awful model.
