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.

Feels like the rare exception at this point...

Ship of Harkinian: Switch abandoned long ago.
2Ship2Harkinian: Never.
Ghostship: Did get 2.0, but nothing prior, guess we'll see where it goes.
Spaghetti Kart: Abandoned.
Starship: Ancient release, guess we'll see.

So glad that they're also doing Rareware games since they're much harder to emulate.
And it's also going to have multiplayer, I can't wait!
 
Very cool!
I hope they offer different palettes/skins for the Banjos in co-op mode though. They could borrow them from the Smash Bros. skins. :)
