Harbour Masters' latest PC port is Banjo Kazooie, and it's launching next month


With many a fantastic port under their belts, Harbour Masters return with a brand new project dubbed Lighthouse. Set to release next month, it'll once again throw Banjo Kazooie into the spotlight. This isn't the first PC port the game has received, with it getting a recompiled release earlier this year, but the team do have a hefty list of reasons to check this version out. Beyond the standard wide-screen support and support for higher framerates, it'll include a randomiser at launch where you'll be able to shuffle Notes, Jinjos, Mumbo Tokens, Empty Honeycombs, and Jiggies, on top of abilities. You're also getting ROM hack support out of the box and co-op play.

Though it won't be in the game at launch, support for the multi-world randomiser Archipelago is also in the works. This would be the first time any version of Banjo Kazooie has been compatible, with only Banjo Tooie currently being supported.

The port launches next month, with it likely being available to download on GitHub. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

Anyone know why they completely abandoned all their Switch ports? It was like the one exciting port they were doing. Don't get me wrong, PC is amazing, but Switch was the winner for me.

I think back then, they didn't have dedicated Switch devs, so they went instead to focus on giving more attention to the computer versions ?
 
Same here I'd love to play it in HD! The official remake for Thousand Year Door was garbage so going back to an older Paper Mario that isn't tainted by the Origami King engine would be nice
HD and widescreen! I wanna play it on my tiny oled ultrabook, id love that so much.
The ports all run so much better than the roms would with even the most current N64 emulators.
N64 emulation, sadly, still not quite perfect.
