Banjo-Kazooie Creator Reacts To Duo's Bittersweet Cameo In The Latest Smash Trailer

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has got to the point where most players can't believe what they're seeing on the battlefield. It has gone from the addition of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man to Steve and Alex from Minecraft, and now the latest reveal is Final Fantasy VII's antagonist Sephiroth.

In amongst this is Rare's famous duo, Banjo-Kazooie. In fact, in Sephiroth's reveal trailer at this year's Game Awards, the bear and bird even featured in a scene alongside Inkling and Sonic. So how does it feel for the father of Banjo and Kazooie, Steve Mayles? A fan asked him this question on Twitter not long after the new fighter reveal. To sum it up, it's bitterswee

Donkey Kong gets barely more respect by Nintendo than Star Fox at this point. It's sad that Nintendo's platforming expertise is only on a twice-a-gen Mario lately

Mario is treated like Disneys Mickey. its their mascot and cashcow. anything else rarely matters.
