poorwill I never really played these games. They looked even more insultingly twee than the usual platformer stuff - like something Enid Blyton shat out. This looks like a big improvement.
jangbones the wardrobe budget for this show must be enormous
Zarathustra00 1 star for each unnecessary Grunty panty shot in the first 0:10.
Xenocide Yet the shot of Banjo's ass receives no penalty. Interesting.
Syd Midnight If I was in the army and had to torture a Taliban POW to make him tell me where his buddies are hiding so we can kill them, I'd make him listen to this music really loud, then kill myself from shame over the act 5 years later.
RocketBlender What the hell happened to rareware? They were unfuckingstoppable on the SNES and N64 (At least in my opinion as a platform gamer.) between all their 'mascot games', Goldeneye, Killer Instinct, and Perfect Dark.
Then one day out of the blue they decided it was time to suck. What went wrong?
poorwill They were never good. Sometimes by accident they'd make a cool game like Goldeneye. Nothing's really changed as far as I can tell - haven't played the latest Banjo or Viva Pinata, but visually at least they are the only Rare games that don't look like total crap and they're supposed to play well.
Spit Spingola Banjo sucks. Blast Corps is the Rare game everyone should remember for being awesome.
Candlejackv616 After Donkey Kong 64, Rare can kiss my ass.
cognitivedissonance Interior feud with Nintendo Corporate is what went wrong, mostly over Conker 64, which was postponed and pushed back for over four Christmases to prevent competition with Nintendo franchise games, leading to Conker's developers going berserk like they did and Nintendo attempting to bury the game. for it's adult content.
Basically, Nintendo has no real desire to be congenial to non-Japanese developers, so they took their business elsewhere when Microsoft entered the game.
Rum Revenge My stars are for you, cognitivedissonance. I always wondered why Conker didn't turn out like all the previews I read made it sound...
Also: you all thought Game Over Grunty was hot, admit it!
memedumpster It's like the makers of this were on a mission to condense anime culture into a single thing for storage before the world exploded and time was running out.
Caminante Nocturno Adding Cutey Honey to anything makes it at least 14,700 times better.
