Nuts and bolts not at the bottom?
bad list
expect nothing less from thegamer though

mikefizzled11777d ago

Nonsense. I'll concede that it's not a true Banjo sequel like people wanted but it took the concept and executed in a fun and interesting way. The two games that isn't above were forgettable at best.

BadElf1777d ago

Yup. Nuts and Bolts should not be mentioned with BK.
To be fair, its a DECENT, unique game...but not a Banjo gsme

Teflon021777d ago

Nuts and Bolts isn't a "Horrible game. But it is a horrible Banjo game. If you want banjo, you'll get nothing but disappointment.

It would be last on my list too personally. Banjo Pilot was okay, and GR was good enough for what it was. Atleast felt like banjo.
Tooie is personally my favourite Banjo game. Kazooie was great too. But I felt like the stages felt too small. Atleast in Mario 64 you were booted from stages every star so it didn't make it fell small. but I felt Tooie was perfect in size for me. Loved the overworld so much more too. OHH and I think the first stage in Tooie had my fav music in the series lol

Art of Fighting
Bloody Roar
Clay Fighter
Darkstalkers
Ehrgeiz
Final Fight
..and so on ;)

FinalBoss412d ago

Art of Fighting...We are going to have a Fatal Fury, we can have hope for this one too :)

Number1TailzFan412d ago

I only had the CD version of Final Fight but yeah great game, great music. Challenging too.

The Desert/Jungle Strike games need to return too.

Asplundh412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

I remember playing Clay Fighters a lot, honestly it wasn't great and it got worse with each sequel.

Snookies12412d ago

Bushido Blade needs to be on that list of fighters!

Terry_B412d ago

I agree, but Bloody Roar is higher in my priority lol..due to that already super fun indie fighting game hellish Quart which is still on early access

FinalBoss412d ago

Onimusha and Legacy of Kain! Excellent choice.
I would add Shenmue indeed.

gold_drake412d ago

breath of fire

shadow hearts / koudelka
dot hack series.

and many more u cant think of right now haha

FinalFantasyFanatic412d ago

Maybe Shadow Hearts/Koudelka can make a return now that Penny Blood is in the works (worked for 100 Heroes/Suikoden).

I'd really like them to do a Dot Hack compilation/quadrillion pack, and having Breath of Fire return would be good too, it didn't deserve to go out with a whimper (I'm talking about that mobile game they made for it).

gold_drake411d ago (Edited 411d ago )

haha you dont need to clarify your points, i know xD

i know theres a .hack project on the way, but no one really knows what it is. from qhat ive just read, the vice Pres. of CC2 wants a remake of the four games, but Bandai holds the licensing and hasnt given the greenlight for it.

and yehz bof didnt deserve the the ceap games at the end

RaidenBlack412d ago

Quake (not including the re-releases)
F.E.A.R
TimeSplitters
Hexen
Brothers in Arms
Bad Company
Resistance
Legacy of Kain
Midnight Club
Burnout
... many more

porkChop412d ago

The Legend of Dragoon
Infamous
Heretic/Hexen
Sleeping Dogs
Midnight Club
Scarface
Lost Odyssey
Syphon Filter
Red Faction
Snatcher

shinoff2183412d ago

Porkchop you probably know already but did you know they worked on a scarface 2.

porkChop411d ago

Yeah I've seen footage of it. Activision cancelled it after they bought Sierra. I still think that's crazy. Scarface was successful enough that Sierra planned on making Scarface 2, 3, 4, etc. It's wild that Activision would just cancel it like that.

A new Conker would be nice too, and a new Diddy Kong Racing would make a nice change as well over the standard racers like Mario Kart.

Sonyslave3442d ago

Toy n bob can probably do since rare don't want too.

VincentVanBro442d ago

I’ve been waiting my whole life for another banjo kazooie sequel! Imagine a new entry with all of the ingenuity and new ideas they would have after modern platformers like Mario Odyssey

maniacmayhem442d ago

We had one with Yooka Laylee and it was trash and hardly anyone bought it. Let the nostalgia die, as much as I like platformers, we don't need another Banjo Kazooie, the game was mid at best.

Christopher442d ago

I'm of like mind. I think the appeal that we might have had for these games was a bit more nostalgic and that the advancement of the industry has led people further away from Banjo and more towards Fortnite and the like. People still enjoy the game, but it's a niche market because the industry moved on to other things.

Retroman442d ago

Industry moved on to other things. Such as??? Same boring open world shooters again and again and again and again same damn format with different titles. Same Damn shit since 2006 either military style fps or Viking solider, riding on horses, driving around with a car, sailing in a ship, to much Unnecessary exploring, to much side quest etc.
My Personal Opinion they all feel the same boring.

Christopher441d ago

Sorry Retroman, no individual controls the direction of the industry. It is what it is because people spoke with their wallets.

Number1TailzFan441d ago

Completely agree Retroman, most games today are simply better looking versions of the same stuff, recycled over and over. When they do something new, like for example Half Life 2 did in 2004 with the physics and very interactive world, it was fresh and exciting. Now many games take what came before and update the graphics and that's about it, or sometimes have less stuff than in the previous games even.

--Onilink--441d ago (Edited 441d ago )

Well that doesnt mean a good one cant be made.
Nintendo has continued to great make 3D Platformers, while not exactly the same Ratchet is not an entirely different genre either. Psychonauts 2 was great as well.
There is potential for a good Banjo game with the right developer.
That said, within MS probably only Double Fine or Toys for Bob I think could pull it off, Rare should stay far away from it, they are a very different team now

DarkZane442d ago

Just give up, leave Banjo-Kazooie in the past. They will never be able to recreate what made it and Banjo-Tooie good on N64 today, especially not by being owned by Microsoft.

purple101441d ago

The glory days of 007 Goldeneye ( with rumble Pak)

Perfect dark with ram expansion card.(but only really for 4 controller multiplayer )

Diddy kong racing & banjo

Those were all gems I miss those times, but let them go. Re-visiting your childhood is never as good as you think.
