I finally got Banjo Tooie - The Global Nintendo Wi-Fi Community

**KirbyPunk** · 11-26-2007, 11:23 AM

5 years ago I played this game on my N64, but sadly, I could never find it in stores. (I just rented it). Years went by and every used game store and flea market I went to I looked for Banjo with no success because really, who would want to get rid of this game? Finally, I found it at a flea market walking distance from my house, but it was 50$. I thought all was lost until I realised you could "trade in" games there to get other games. Usually a game for a game, unlike EB Games, Gamestop etc. So I ran home and grabbed some Bionicle Gamecube game I never liked and 5$ and ran back, and sure enough, I got the game. I've been addicted to it now and it's one of the greatest platformers of all time. I still haven't even played the original...
Has anyone else played this game, or the first one?

Wow.. another great persn to talk to about great games like I love to play, and I do mean love. You haven't even played the original? Oh god, you got some catching up to do man. Where have you been? Banjo Kazooie was one of the best es ever created. It was the most entertaining game for the N64 and it kept me going for hours and hours and hours. I never got tired of it. The first time I had ever played it, was like a dream to me. It was so fun, I could burst out with joy.

I remember the game so much, I could tell you about the whole game right now. I remember the very first level, where you could turn into an Ant, and climb to the very top of the hill. You also collected the Jinjos, collected the Musical Notes, got the Jiggies. It was awesome. What I mainly remember about the first level, was that you got to fight Congo, which is one of the best characters of all time. He stood up on a tree, and chucked oranges I think, at you. He was a sweet character. The second level you got to see Captain Blubber, the Walrus, and he was also a very cool character, you got to help him out with his troubles. In the second level you also got to fight that Giant Crab, that was in the Giant Shell. There was plenty of Banjo's you could turn into, like Ant, Pumpkin, Washing Machine, Walrus, Crocodile, and much more. It was just one of the best.

Banjo Tooie was also one of the best games for N64, they finally got a multiplayer, that was actually really fun. I loved the shoot out games you got to play, they were really entertaining to play with 2 or 3 people. also liked the Gruntildas quiz game, which I could own people at, every time we played. I also liked all the new features, and mostly characters. The moves were cool, that you could split up Banjo and Kazooie, and Bottles died, and Jam Jars was the new mole. Najo Kazooie games are seriously famous for their characters. They have the best characters of all time out of every game I have ever played.

I think I ended up beating these games about 5 or 6 times all the way through. Please enjoy the game. It was one of the best. I think both of them got like 9.7 ratings. They were awesome.

I have played both. Those two games were one of Rare's greatest, along with Golden Eye 007 of course. It has been a while since I have played the though, I believe I was around nine or ten when I did, I don't quite remember. All I know is I could not put my Nintendo 64 controller down.

I won't happen, because Banjo and Kazooie are owned by Rare and Rare works for Microsoft now. Unless Microsoft allows Rare it will not happen.

IchiBoss · 11-26-2007, 02:18 PM

yea thats true, but it would be cool.....

fatalis · 11-26-2007, 02:23 PM

ya it would but you never know because the has attracted a lot of publishers(especially from sony)

Congrats on getting the game. I only played the original and I must say it was definitely a great platformer. It reminded me so much of Donkey Kong 64 too, then again same company at the time huh. I'm on the other side of the road because I never played the second one =(
