Btw one tiny, tiny weird thing I noticed... why did the splash screen say "Banjo-Kazooie are Raring to go"? The game is titled Banjo-Kazooie, but the character(s) it(them)self is(are) Banjo and Kazooie. Seems like a weird slip.

Um guys... i just discovered something but im only gonna tell you, if you don't get your hopes up...we cool? Alrighty then:

Amazon Germany listed this:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07SZX1165/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=I7LWYC0FA4BO&keywords=banjo+kazooie+nintendo+switch&qid=1560282534&s=gateway&sprefix=Banjo+Kazooie+n,aps,180&sr=8-4

A Banjo-Kazooie Game for the SWITCH!! It only says that: Banjo-Kazooie (Working Title) with the Switch as a plattform.

Boy, please don't play with my feelings....
Interesting. I hope it's real and not some weird mistake.

It's probably considered like a tag-team name.

Congrats banjo fans! unfortunately I'm not one myself as I never got around to playing the games (something I might try and remedy with Banjo's Smash inclusion), but maybe Banjo's inclusion is a good sign for other characters who have sadly been sidelined for a large amount of years.

Lets talk about how Banjo is another sword fighter because he swings Kazooie around like one.

This Smash is for the 90s kids.
Are any of you in here with me?

I cant get over this.
I dont want to get over this.

I'm hyping so hard right now.
Funny enough, Banjo is only the third 90s character for Ultimate's roster. Half of this roster came from the 80s.

I would be legit sad if Sora got in over Geno, but because I at least got one of my top 5 (Banjo, coming in at #2), I wouldn't be as angry or upset. I finally got a top pick so I can't complain :D
(plus Sora's/BoobsMcGee's fanbases are way bigger than Geno's I'm sure)
I cannot logically argue for you.
But I understand that these are emotions.
And emotions want characters who brought us the feels.

Geno never brought me the feels.
Though I need to whip out that SNES classic to learn his magic.

It will still be different at the end of my 20s, though.

Born in- yes.
Popularized in? Nah. I am still counting K Rool here.
Hell I think I'm counting Ridley, too.
I don't consider myself an 80s kid, even if I was born in the last month.

I guess, but just seems weird. A friend of mine pointed out Duck Hunt, but the dog/ducks don't actually have names so there's nothing else to call them. Banjo and Kazooie obviously have names so it's weird not to say their names as such. It'd be like if Rosalina & Luma were "Rosalina-Luma" (not that I'm gonna really care either way; this is a microscopic thing that doesn't really matter, lol).

It finally happened!!!

Feels great; rip Google theory though with the DQ heroes.

Life long Isaac supporter here. Congratulations. To each and every single one of you, from the bottom of my heart. Your dedication to your series, and your character, your enthusiasm and your energy, against all odds, has truly inspired me. As an Isaac supporter it's been rough. But seeing this outcry today from you all, it's given me the will to hang on as you all did yourselves. I have a long wait in front of me for my character. But you all have earned today's victory. I'm happy for all of you.

Sorry man. I am right there with you- the only RPGS That hold feeling for me are Golden Sun and Pokemon.
I really thought this game could have been Isaac's time, but I have moved into the unfortunate feeling he cannot get in without a new game of GS. (I dont believe a new smash will give us more characters, but instead, much less. So to me, its this game, under strict ideals, or never). Which is unfortunate to feel, as a fan.

It sounds like she's trying to cover her back regardless of who gets in to me. She doesn't want to get yelled at by fans of whatever characters doesn't get announced.

I'm putting my trust in Shinobi.
Of course I wanted to cover my back haha. I've leaked almost 20 games from E3, and I have a CND from Nintendo so I definitely didn't want to continue on to them. I never tweeted that I knew the Smash character. I said that I intended to share all of that on Monday, but as you know the CND prevented that. So, of course, I tweeted to not direct any of the smash fallout to me because I genuinely always took neutral stances on characters, especially since I was not legally allowed to share smash info anymore.

It was just amusing when K Rool/Banjo/Geno were being speculated how some people whined and complained about the 90s and nostaglia, demanding how none of those characters should be added as Smash was just catering to '90s manbabies.'

But they had no issue with Ridley, Simon, Daisy or Ken, who all debutted in the 80s.

Something to note from that Amazon listing: it says December 2019, and I'm curious as to why the only platform listed is the Switch.

I'm afraid it might be a mistake, however if it's real then I can see an announcement happening pretty soon.

or they'll drop it on the last day of November.

December 29th-31st is a placeholder date for every game that doesn't have a release date yet.

Amazon always lists placeholder dates as December 31st of the current year. I'm betting on it being a mistake anyway but hey, today proved that sometimes miracles can happen.

In all honesty Kazooie is cooler than any Sword, She's like a Swiss army knife that can be used as a firearm, Melee weapon and she can fly.

Not to mention she's not afraid to talk any smack to anyone.

^^^^^^^

You all need to cut Sabi some slack. If you were under the same situation she was you would do the same. Or would you all be idiots and get further in trouble? Seriously yall, tell me what YOU would do. Be thankful she can still leak other stuff

Do you remember how Banjo appeared first in Diddy Kong Racing rather than in his very own game?

Maybe it's happening again.

I can't believe this day has come and just one day shy of my birthday as well! I still can't come to grips with the reality that BK are in Smash! Banjo-Kazooie are in freakin Smash! Holy crap I just can't comprehend it! I salute you fellow Banjo fans/supports for we've been through a long arduous journey but we've finally completed the Smash Bros puzzle! Thank you Microsoft/Rare/Nintendo and especially you Sakurai for making this grown-ass man even happier than ever!

What is funny is that Banjo Kazooie is technically a spin off of a spin off. (Diddy Kong Racing, then Donkey Kong Country)

I honestly want to see that pose from Banjo & Kazooie's splash screen be used for their Amiibo! Crazy huh? They will have an Amiibo!

Someday I'll play the Banjo Kazooie games but right now; I'm so happy for you all! :grin:

I'm hoping that with Banjo & Kazooie being in Smash it'll give Xbox reason to make a HD Remake or a full new game!

Speaking of Xbox; might want to send a letter to them for getting Banjo & Kazooie in as well as Sakurai huh? :p

Cannot wait to have the Amiibo (I only own 4, lol) and I'd settle for Rare Replay being ported to Switch. That's more than enough for me, but if we got a remake or Banjo-Threeie, I might lose my mind.

PS: If you don't mind collect-a-thons (I never really got why that's such a negative term to many), you should try it when you get the chance. It's just got a lot of charm, personality, and tons of fun gameplay.

What a beautiful E3 and I'm delighted to see how realized both Banjo Kazooie and The Hero are in Smash. There has been a clear level of effort with Smash Ultimate DLC that absolutely seems to exceed what we saw in Smash 4. Joker was really the first taste at how much content and work were going into these DLC characters, and with the reveals today, I think the long wait time for DLC to properly start releasing makes more sense. Each of the three new series absolutely feels like substantial and meaty additions to the Smash roster.

And goddamn, I just got hype and couldn't stop grinning at how wonderfully they've realized Banjo Kazooie in Smash. I couldn't have asked for more from that reveal. Congrats Banjo bros, let's just hope we don't have to wait TOO long for them now.

I only had time to watch the first 5 minutes of the Direct before I had to go proctor an exam. I saw the Hero, and I went off to do my duty disappointed. They looked cool even though I have no personal experience with the franchise, but I feared that would be our only reveal. I got a chance to take a peek at a screen again just under 40 minutes later, hoping against hope that there would be one last surprise. I wasn't expecting it. I dared not dream of it. Then I tuned in to see K. Rool and the Kongs lounging around. I lost my mind before that Jiggy even bounced by. Absolutely incredible.

Everything about the announcement was perfect. The music, the sound effects, the animations, the stage, the moveset. I'm so glad they got Grant back on board, too, even if he had to lie to us for a bit there. This was all worth it, and I'm glad we saw it through to the end. Can't wait to actually play our beloved duo in a few months!

I'm really getting tired of all these anime swordsbears in Smash.
I know that you're joking and all but I'd like to note having become a Dragon Quest fan myself over the recent year that the Dragon Quest protagonists is more an issue of the developers' fault. In Dragon Quest games, while it's true that there are legendary swords that contribute to plot, the protagonist doesn't even HAVE to be a sword user. Dragon Quest has a wide variety of weapons the protagonist can use such as whips, hammers, axes, brass knuckle, boomerangs and can even order monster allies to fight in addition to being able to use magic. People that have actually played DQ know this. So this one is more on the developers for not doing more with them than just sword attacks.

It should also be noted that by virtue of popularity in Smash's homeland as well as the history and impact, Dragon Quest Hero is technically THE anime swordbearer.

Hello guys. Congratulations on getting the bear and bird in Smash.
I made a video a while back speculating about the Fighters Pass, and Banjo was my first pick.
(Also excuse my voice, not too good at talking with a mic.

Here's hoping for my other 2 choices (Mike Jones and Phoenix Wright) make it in. RIP Slime.

From this moment onward, banjo will never be a victim to the relevancy argument. Veterans are immune to it. That's why we still have :ultfalcon::ultlucas::ultroy::ultmarth::ultness:ect.

The only thing we have to worry about future installments, is if ninty and ms are still on good terms.
