Gaming Phil Spencer From Xbox Willing To Let Banjo Kazooie Appear In Super Smash Bros.

It's honestly incredible to see how far Microsoft has come since the whole Xbox one debacles. I went from loving Sony and hating Microsoft, to despising Sony on almost every level to applauding Microsoft. Weird.

I feel the same, especially with Sony blocking the cross-play, blocking region change (cause they seem to assume nobody will ever move to another country) and meanwhile Microsoft is getting rid of the console exclusivity bullshit and instead promotes a environment of console/pc.

New Diddy kong Racing game?

That would be amazing!

Bsnjo-Kazooie is dead to me. My favorite game when I was a kid, Banjo-Tooie was fantastic also.

Then Nuts & Bolts happened all those years later, and even Yooka-Laylee is trash.

I don't think Playtonic could afford them right now. But that's not a bad idea. Maybe once Playtonic have a bunch of games behind them and have amassed a fortune they'll be able to afford the IPs. But by then they won't need them anymore...
Yooka and Laylee is a much more interesting pairing than Banjo and Kazooie ever was anyway, so if they intend to continue making games with them, I don't really see the need for them buying the Banjo-Kazooie IP.
But Conker's a much more unique character, and Rare/MS don't seem to be doing anything with the IP, so that one might still be worth it for Playtonic to pick up in the future.

Yeah but the Banjo-Kazooie characters are their babies. That was one of the major franchise that put those developers in the spotlight and got them where they are. I still haven't played Yooka-Laylee ( I haven't yet gotten around to buying it yet, but I definitely plan to eventually!) but I would make sure I have the chance to play a full fledged BK sequel ( I've only waited nearly 20 years for it and no I don't count N&B, cuz that game sucked hard!).

Cool, only banjo game I played was the gba one and I enjoyed it, I should get around to playing the 64 ones soon.

you really should! They're very great games that I still play every now and then to this day!

I know, but going back to Banjo-Kazooie now after they have spent all this effort coming up with a new IP would be a bit backwards. Also, the two are a bit too similar to coexist under the same roof, I think.
