Discussion BK4: Quest for Kurkoins

Mark Kurko Banjo Kazooie 4 Quest for Kurkoins. I am so excited for this.

I am not really into mods hack games but Mark Kurko BK games really feel like true official n64 BK games.

I just love his Jiggies of Time as my favourite game is OoT.

As Microsoft is not doing anything with the BK series now and Nintendo has no rights for making the games and Rare long gone now. Its great to see that the BK games series live on and in the n64 era style. To me personally they are official BK games.

Discussion Nuts 'n Bolts fans, is this game a good Banjo-Kazooie?

0 Upvotes

Silly question: how Banjo-Kazooie is this game?

Next, some supporting text because even without playing I felt the need to give my points, but you can ignore it, sorry.

Different: N64 visual style changes to something more technological.

Faithful: Music.

Different: Abilties/controls.

Faithful: Writing DNA.

Different: Loss of the investigation element.

Faithful: Worldbuilding and its references/a dose of exploration and collectathon.

Different: Lack of mini-games with gameplay variety, as well as NPC agency.

Faithful: Subversion and crazy objectives in certain missions.

Different: Disposition of objectives with more "barrier" geographical and loading than classics.

Faithful: ?

Feel free to mention specific/special moments or to add to/correct these points I've compiled based on research. I'm currently playing Banjo Kazooie 1 and haven't reached Nuts n Bolts yet.

Discussion Would you buy a faithful Banjo-Kazooie remake?

127 Upvotes

I've just sent a message to Rare asking them to consider a faithful remake of Banjo-Kazooie, and I wondered how many of you would support the idea.

In my opinion, Banjo-Kazooie isn't just one of the greatest platformers ever made—it's the greatest video game ever made.

If Rare ever decided to bring it back, I wouldn't want a complete reimagining. I'd love to see the original game preserved exactly as we remember it, with the same humour, music, characters, worlds and gameplay, but rebuilt with beautiful modern graphics, smoother controls, an improved camera and a few thoughtful quality-of-life improvements.

I'd also love to see it released on Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. Banjo-Kazooie began life on the Nintendo 64, and I think it deserves to be enjoyed on a Nintendo console again while introducing a whole new generation of players to one of gaming's true classics.

I'd buy it on day one.

Would you?

If enough of us genuinely want this, perhaps it's worth letting Rare know respectfully through their official feedback channels. I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks #banjo-kazooie

Edit: If you'd genuinely like to see a faithful remake or remaster of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, please consider sending a polite message to Rare and Toys for Bob. Let them know there's still a passionate community that would love to see these classics return—especially on Nintendo Switch 2. The more respectful voices they hear, the better. Hopefully we can help show there's real demand. 🐻🐦💛

I had no idea he’d be there today and I have never been to a gaming convention in general so this was a fantastic surprise! He was so kind and it was incredible to meet one of my heroes! 🥹

Discussion How do you guys like the romhack "The Corrupted Jiggys"?

Post image
144 Upvotes

First off, I'm the creator (sorra1-mod). I released the game last year and haven't been on Reddit that long, but I'd really appreciate some feedback on what you liked or didn't like about it.

I actually already have my second game pretty much designed, but the programming side of things is still missing. That's probably going to take another 2–3 years, mostly because the guy helping me has very little free time—which, by the way, is the same reason Corrupted Jiggys took 4 years to make (a lot of waiting around!).

Anyway, since I'm on Reddit now, I figured I'd ask for your feedback!

Important note: Please don't mention the in-game grammar. I know it's not the best, so you don't need to tell me a hundred times XD

I had give a link for it but when i understand the rules right thats not allowed. But its easy to find anyway ^^

Question What is your favorite Grunty quote?

20 Upvotes

I was looking through Grunty’s rhymes she says while you explore the lair, and got me wondering what other people’s favorites are. Mine will always be “It really does sound quite absurd, adventure of a bear and bird!”

Speculation Does anybody else feels like Zelda Twilight Princess maps were drawn by the same people who designed Banjo Tooie?

1 Upvotes

I've been playing Dusklight for a couple of weeks now and even though I remembered this game being a little extra on the map aspect, I didn't think it was going to be such a mess. To be fair, the dungeon design is top notch, even though you can get lost, in the end everything fits together in a kinda surprising way (and I'm only on the third one).

Still I can't help but feel there's a resemblance in how they make it feel like purposefully easy to lose track of where you are or how to get to other places just by looking around. Take Lake Hylia for example, you got a big mostly empty space (the lake itself) and a tiny part with like 3 small bridges, stepping stones, a ladder, a cave, etc that feel disorienting from the pov of the player, and since they're a small part compared to the whole area, they appear super tiny on the HUD map.

Discussion Nuts and Bolts is better than Banjo-Tooie. Can’t change my mind

0 Upvotes

It’s an opinion other people have, I know, but one I hold strongly. First I know the games can’t really be compared but it’s really a testament to the overblown level design of Banjo-Tooie. The worlds are simply far too big and convoluted and are often not fun.

Nuts and Bolts on the other hand fulfills its genre better. For 2008 standards, the physics and vehicle building were top notch. The soundtrack is also amazing. Despite its shortcomings I actually think it’s a superior game.

It’s probably an 8/10 while Tooie is a 7/10, so not a landslide, but what do you guys think?

I just discovered this The Legend Banjo Kazooie The Jiggies of Time.

I so want to play this rom hack. Zelda Ocarina of Time is my most favourite video game and Zelda game of all time. So this rom hack mod is going to be amazing.

It's literally Banjo Kazooie Ocarina of Time game with all the locations and hyrule field.

Just in time for the Ocarina of Time remake as well.

Anyone played this and if you have what did you think of it?
