Announced unusually early is an unexpected pick for the next Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack game. Rare's 3D platforming hit, Banjo-Kazooie will be landing on the Nintendo Switch as part of the NSO subscription this January after a good few years of the game not being available on Nintendo platforms.

Isn't this one of the games they showed in the NSO Expansion announcement?

when you think back the N64 wasnt really all that great except for a hand full of games and 4 controller ports.

I mean, the console only had a handful of games.. When compared to the library of the PS1. It's a great system, though. Bought one a few weeks back and enjoying every moment of it

Oh, yay. Already on Game Pass in 4K 60fps.

I'm still going through oot, just got the map and the compass in the ice caverns (in a puzzle room right now). that's the 6th dungeon. one thing I love about that game is that it's so quick between dungeons mostly, there's not a lot of fluff or padding in between. I love that! now, I have paper mario (not sure if I've played it), and this game to look forward to (not sure if I've played much of it, but I have played some). yooka-laylee (the first one) is kinda a throw back to banjo kazooie, so that's why I bought that game a long time ago. I must say some of those pagies are frustrating to get too, so I assume whatever you collect in kazooie will be no different.

Can’t wait to see how this one gets butchered

That's uh, Banjo-Tooie.

Yeah and with the garbage emulator, it'll use linear audio interpolation like DK64 on Wii U, probably.

Is this a remake or Just an emulator?

Emulation, not the XBLA version unfortunately.

 

[Graxer]

That's both Kazooie and Tooie.

 

[bowlofspiders]

That's both Kazooie and Tooie.

Oh it is. My mistake.

 

[1NOOB]

Oh it is. My mistake.

isnt streaming limited to 1080p ?

Nintendo should surprise us all by releasing the 360 versions of Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Goldeneye (but completed) and Perfect Dark as standalone apps for NSO subscribers.

Why would you do this?

I'd pay for that.

 

[godreborn]

not sure why but I burst out laughing looking at that Paper Mario box: "Thinner Mario, bigger adventure." lmao!

Is this going to be part of the $80 Switch Online Expansion Pack ++ Program?
