Banjo Kazooie and Tooie are one of the best games of all time!
They are! My 6 year old son is obsessed with Banjo Kazooie and it just warms my heart. Getting him Banjo Tooie for Christmas
I think the difference between the vehicle building in Nuts & Bolts and Tears of the Kingdom, is that it was the main mechanic in Nuts & Bolts. The entire game revolved around it. Everything in Tears of the Kingdom makes it look like an optional side thing to play with.
This, I was gonna point this out
The purchase by Microsoft killed Rare. Then again they only bought them to block Nintendo from getting more great games from them.
Agreed 📼
Well Nintendo Microsoft signed a big deal so thease games can now get sequels or remakes
No, Nintendo Rare "fans" killed Rare.
Rare were doing what they wanted to do for the entire Xbox generation and almost all of the 360 generation. They were innovating and putting out fantastic titles that they wanted to make but that their old fans enjoyed shitting all over because they aren't exactly what THEY wanted. The games weren't selling as well as they needed them to and eventually, most of the studio split up and left and then the ones that were left of them were assigned to making Kinect games until they pitched the idea of Sea of Thieves to MS and it was greenlit.
What's that? Y'all wanted more great Rareware games? Maybe you should have supported the great ones they were putting out regardless of what plastic platform they were on.
Bought an xbox 1 solely for Rare Replay. I just wish Rare Replay gets a switch and or pc release someday..
I miss when games were creative like this. The industry has oligopolised into a pay to win lootbox gambling fest. Money really does ruin everything good.
It should be noted that the majority of talented individuals at Rare who helped deliver so many great titles for the SNES and N64 had all parted ways with the company by the time Star Fox Adventures shipped (an exodus that actually began towards the end of the original Perfect Dark's development due to heated disagreements over censorship). Microsoft spent $400 Million for a skeleton crew of "second stringers" and rookie devs. Most of the talent that parted Rare prior to the Microsoft buyout actually went on to form Free Radical, the development house responsible for the Time Splitters franchise.
This isn't true. Yes, they lost devs from the shooter Team, but there were several other teams, like the Banjo team, Conker team, DK64/Kameo team or Handheld team, that weren't affected. So how many devs went on to form Free Radical? David Doak Steve Ellis, Karl Hilton & Greame Norgate. Only 4 guys - There were over 100 devs at Rare back in the day. Most of the old devs left Rare in the Kinect days, like the Playtonic devs.
@@jimmyknopf9409 Doak? Was undercover agent pretend scientist Dr Doak at the facility mission in Goldeneye named after him? He wasn't in the movie
Complete rubbish!
@@jimmyknopf9409 Not all Devs left the business however majority of the talent left during the N64 days. Some key figures still stayed at Rare however they were past their primes. Under MS, they tried making Conker, Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie however failed to nail it due to the lack of talent at the company. If anything Kinect help keep Rare's doors opened as they did deliver on quality Kinect games. Nintendo had their opportunity to buy Rare but decided to let them go to either Microsoft or Activision who raised their hands in buying them.
Am privy to those shenannigans, thanks for the history lesson, glad there are still those out there that maintain the history. It was the wild west in a sense at that time, where playing video games was still kind of a thing that made you a nerd. There are all kind of nerds, some remember the stats to a baseball game in 1985, its all relative. It was fun being in a group of people in a niche. Now it is so commercialized and mainstream.
I remember telling all my friends about Banjo Threeie back in 2001 after beating banjo tooie no one believed me hate the fact that Rare never made the third game 😭🤦🏻♂️
Nuts & Bolts probably would have been better received had it been its own thing instead of depriving fans of a "real" Banjo-Threeie.
I dont know why the GameCube isn't fondly remembered. I loved mine. It had some really great games. I played it more than my N64.
Same, and I think a lot of people did too. I don't know how common this was but for me it was the last console before I got proper access to the internet, had to read all the mean-spirited "opinions" of others and became just as bitter and "critical" of everything else that released afterwards. It sucks.
Same especially the scooby doo gamecube game 😊
I always saw the GameCube as one of the greatest consoles of all time. I think people who actually owned the console think very fondly of it. The Wii is basically just a Gamecube 2.0 with motion controls and it's considered one of the greatest consoles ever made. Similar to how the Switch is basically a remake of the Wii U but with better features.
I loved it but it really seemed that went slack on the games, not the same amount of awesome content and at the same level of awesomeness. When I have to make a list of not just great but awesome games from both 64 and GC the list on the 64 side is much more extensive.
My original died out but I've had a replacement for years. The only thing I play on it are the Zelda compilation and the megaman compilations. The controller feels great, that's always been super important to me
*Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts...... I'm pretty sure that was just a bad dream we all had collectively.*
The battle with Gruntilda in the first game still stands out as one of the most entraining final boss fights I’ve ever experienced.
Unless the floor was replaced with a few shock jump pads, as I've seen someone try to get through for hours a few months ago.
Such an underrated franchise that deserved more. I've been a fan since I was 12, few months after they appeared on Smash, got a tattoo of them on my arm
Noice!
Do you recognize the sound of Banjo's GameBoy in Banjo Kazooie?
It’s really sad microsoft not doing anything with the rare IP seems like :(
So true!! Hoping that this changes in the future!
I don't get it. Microsoft buys IPs and then goes "I wish we had console exclusives".
@@nightshadehelis9821 I think it's more about the teams that are currently with MS. While they are fantastic developers, they are probably all busy working on what they want to do and besides, I don't believe many of them would be great candidates for reviving Rare IP's, not even the current Rare team itself.
This could all change with the acquisition of Beenox, Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions, however.. who would all be perfect candidates for remakes and new entries of classic Rare IP's like Conker, Banjo, Blast Corps and Viva Pinata, just to name a few.
I love that Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie are still talked about today. I just finished Tooie for the first time in my life a few weeks ago, this games still feel very good and fresh today (apart from the bad camera).
I used to play Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on the N64. I missed playing Banjo Kaxooie on Nintendo platforms.
That game should get make and released!
Just like Star Fox 2 which got cancelled and then years later it got released! A Banjo Threeie needs to come out! I would have loved to play the cancelled game that was suppose to come out originally for the N64.
In an alternate universe, Nintendo rejected Microsoft's offer and kept Rare, thus, not only we have Banjo Threeie, but later on Fouriee and Fiviee, plus spin-offs and a movie with Illumination, and our favorite bear being voiced by James Earl Jones.
Nintendo never owned Rare... iirc, Rare even tried to get Nintendo to buy them but they wouldn't. If only they did, maybe their franchises wouldn't be dead...
@@MirrorHall_Clay They did own Rare in 49%.
In an alternative universe Nintendo would've done the deal with Sony and we actually could've got Ura Zelda and Mario 64 2 crash and spyro for the N64. Same with metal gear GTA.
Dumbest thing Nintendo ever did was back out of that deal this creating the PlayStation. A company let's say it does better at the console market then Nintendo does
@@MirrorHall_Claythey were kinda snippy and salty about Square Enix and Atari bonds going bleak and that was a big repercussion for them like with other slap in the faces for idiocy and mindlessness
Your videos are always fun and informative for any retro gamer, and you have such a soothing voice!
If you enjoy her you should check.out her husband top hat gaming man
I love my gamecube with functioning GBA player add-on thank you lol, still looks better than any xbox in its all black glory.
What kind of drugs did they take back then? I‘m asking for a friend…
Not sure what Nintendo was thinking with the handle on the GameCube. In an era when home tech was trending towards sleek aesthetics, they went out of their way to make their console look like a toy.
But honestly? I'm glad they did.
I never used the handle to carry my GameCube back when it was still current, but years after, when competitive Smash Melee became a thing, suddenly the prospect of lugging your GameCube around wasn't absurd, and that silly design choice _finally_ came in handy!
Did you know that in that pirate world level that you can poop the blue eggs onto the shark and thus killing the shark and then you'll never again encounter the shark unless you exit and re enter the pirate world level
banzo kazoe mi fav game im played on n64 best game better than mario64. but sekual i dont played,,
The biggest lie I ever heard from these types of videos is where the developer said that nuts and bolts is a good game it's just not a good banjo game. No, I played nuts and bolts it's a bad game altogether
It's an amazing game. Get smarter
rare from the 90's early 2000 were top tier, however, I believe it's not Microsoft who people should blame but rather Nintendo. they had 49 percent of rare but choose not to keep rare but rather sell the studio, it was Microsoft that saved rare
Rare being bought by Microsoft ended up being the worst thing that happened to them. They went from developing a ton of original franchises to making shitty kinect games and then kinda doing nothing at all while all of the IP they created just sits and rots.
Long live the N64
nuts and bolts was fun but it was a banjo game in the same way mario party is a mario title, only rare only hurt themselves by calling it a sequal
Xbox happened sadly
i liked the concept and the ideas in banjo kazooie and tooie. if there's a third game they can take this concept again. maeby add some new ideas but the goals and the storyline was fantastic. childhood memorys. you coud really dive in those games.
Play that fucking fiddle mumbo
Lady Decade's RUclips channel: a necessity for gracious living!
A meta remake of Banjo-Kazooie would definitely work. The plot could revolve around the game being a sequel remake. If possible executed properly should include a level based around having to drive a car. I would call the level banjo's speedway.
if they do a remake then it still ends with the words "wait for banjo threeie" :(
nah, vehicles in zelda are pretty dumb too tbh
Banjo Threeie was going to release in 2002
We all got robbed of Banjo - Threeie
😎

Seeing N64 retrospectives is very fascinating. It had its limitations with the cartridge based hardware, but still managed to bring out so many gems. Ocarina and SMB64 are the examples. Banjo developed by RARE who created Goldeneye, did so much for the console. Too bad that "Nuts and Bolts" for the 360 became the successor. Thank you Lady for bringing this possible sequel to light.
While pointing out that there are several amazing games for the n64, I'll say there are like 10 of them total and the controller itself is terrible. To me the n64 is overall the worst Nintendo console for the reasons I stated.
Me and my brother and his 2 friends played goldeneye for endless hours on the weekends and after school but I stand by what I said.
@@greenkoopa Some of the greatest games ever made - still played to this day - and the controller was fantastic; it completely changed the gaming industry. You can stand by what you said, sure, but that won't change the fact that you're completely wrong.
One thing I've always been curious about is why didn't Nintendo bought Rare for the GameCube era? 🤔 They we're extremely crucial for the N64 era and probably responsible for 50% of it's sales/popularity. So why not tie up the knot? Could it be that Nintendo saw that most of Rare's talented developers we're leaving the company or for some other reason???
Informative and pretty
I love this franchise
As a fan who played BK when it came out (I was 6) I really wanted a Banjo Threeie release. Unlike a lot of diehard fans, I really liked Nuts n' Bolts for many reasons. It just wasn't what we all wanted. Yooka Laylee was WAY closer but dumbasses hated it, so now I look forward to more sequels that ain't comin...
so your telling me Xbox put the Banjo Kazooie in chaos!?, because this kind of story line might of been getting talked about still if the smart move was made and get to making Banjo Threeie... NO BUTS ABOUT IT OUT OF HONESTLY!!!
+ there's a fact about the Banjo Kazooie Grunty's Revenge video game, did u even notice it's an event leading up to the days of BANJO TOOIE!
The Thunmb nail reminds one of the 90s and 00's Nintendo Power Magazine Covers Where Childhood Escapism Was Channeled Into Video Game Myths, Talking To Classmates About Them, And Daydreaming In Class About Them While Your 3rd Grade Teacher is Talking About How To Pronounce Hawaii Correctly.
I really liked Nuts and Bolts. I was so happy to play another Banjokazooie Game. YukaLaylee pissed me off way more.
can stamper just make threeie and get it over with? m8 u are so behind that they have literally beaten your games in under an hour each. i'm not even kidding man.... you should get back to development because i LOVED BJK and BJT so much i want to have those texture wraps as a cool outfit for the PAX east crowd to laugh at =D
If Microsoft owns rare then why is Donkey Kong still with Nintendo?
0:12 Can't unsee deformed mouth. I thought Nuts and Bolts was the third game. It's so weird that Nintendo isn't censoring stuff now. I think Banjo-Pilot was going to have Nintendo characters but since Rare didn't work with Nintendo anymore they had to use their own.
So what you're saying is... Banjo-Kazooie is an exact copy of Tears of the Kingdom!!
Perfect Dark in my opinion is the best game on the N64
You should do a review on the time splitters games
There is a romhack called banjo threeie that can be played on pc and real N64 hardware.
i still really enjoyed nuts and bolts... but it definitely wasnt a banjo kazooie game
I want more blast core
Lol it's still hilarious Rare sucks after Nintendo for some reason dumped then
It's a romhack(Legend of Banjo-Kazooie)
Lady decade you need to cover jiggies of time. Best hack of all time
This is awesome
Funny that all these videos about banjo threeie have someone British talking in it
Perfect Dark on the N64 I still love this day and I hope that gets released on switch like GoldenEye did. Don't get me wrong growing up in the 90s I love playing GoldenEye but perfect dark was better in every way
Yeah Nuts and Bolts is still salty. At some point I WILL play it but probably not to 100% like I frequentely do and redo BK and BT. I'm sad for Threeie but for X as well. It had such potential and was so in line with the series humor. The graphics were a bit flat and uninspired but I could have worked with it. At this point the best approach would be a reboot (with characters being self conscious about it, that's a given), or a remaster like Crash followed by a sequel capitalizing on the best things of Kazooie and Tooie !
Tears of the Kingdom I haven't looked the journalist reactions much yet but the community seems pretty divided on that vehicle thing. I think it's just as wonky as it was with Nuts and Bolts. It's fine for a game completely centered around that and that makes it actually somewhat fun, like Besiege or Trailmakers. Tears of the Kingdom approach is gimmicky and focused on RUclips videos about breaking the game. Except it's not the average gamer's experience, and it was only fun to watch or for speedrun. It was never a good component of a standard playthrough. Hopefully that's just a gimmick for Korok challenge and is confined to that with no actual good use for the open world traversal.
I think they went too much for the gimmick when I was expecting it to be BotW with sprinkles of classic Zelda added back in (better biomes, better dungeons with unique visuals and regions, that kind of stuff).So yeah hopefully just a minor element, especially when it seems to be as slow, wonkey and unattractive as N&B
I really enjoyed nuts and bolts. The whole build your vehicle thing was pretty cool to me. Now I was and still am angry that we didn’t get a platformer banjo but nuts and bolts really wasn’t that bad
Ms decade have you and your husband ever considered doing some of these types of videos together? I think it would be a lot of fun to see two of my favorite youtubers doing some couples reviews videos together sometimes
I asked her a similar question a year ago and the answer is quite simple-theyre married, have kids and live together. Aside from helping with production their channels are them being individuals. I respect it a lot
Yep. The Legend of Zelda Nuts & Bolts.
Should be named Banjo Tripleie.
I'm here. I was summoned.
Never played it, don't own any console since the N64 but Yooka-Laylee is probably the true spiritual sucessor to Banjo Kazooie. It is so obvious, even the title font is a near copy.
Are you the wife of top hat gaming?
GameCube pisses me off LD, I swear the fan port can be cleaned then the next moment you look it has dust in the fan again 😮💨
I liked Nuts and Bolts.
You yourself are a jewel. Most do not contemplate that Rare has a rich history. Battletoads, and many others.
@jeffreyjeffrey007
Battletoad games are still being made by software called BOR some gamers even remade battletoads and double dragon game
@@michaeln8925 Noice! I did not know.
@@jeffreyjeffrey007
Gamers even ported the BOR games of battletoads and double dragon to work on Sega Dreamcast and Playstation 2
There's videos of the games on youtube
Rare even made a game called Rare Replay it has collection of Rare games from Nintendo 64
I made a big mistake when I gave my conkers bad fur day game away to a store because I got it for $5 and it's worth over $250
@@michaeln8925 I would love to see the DC ports. I was just as foolish and sold my conkers when it was not half of what it is today. boo.
@@jeffreyjeffrey007
They have loads of the DC ports and someone remade Ninja Turtles Hyperstein from Sega Genesis onto the Sega Dreamcast did multiple versions
I had lots of NES games I gave them to video game Heaven for 50 cents each to get the mega man games but I shouldn't have because the games would be rare and I didn't know they were gonna put mega man games in a collection
Donkey Kong country was also ported to the NES and a version of part 2 also but it only has a few areas
Also the 3 Battletoads were originally human there was a cartoon of them but had like a episode or 2 I forget
Conkers bad fur day was sold at blockbuster for $4.99 each complete with case game and manual years ago
NEVER FORGET. RUclipsr johntron was supposed to be in yooka-laylee. He still is if you play on version 1.0
The original XBOX could have definitely used a platformer, given Banjo X saw the light of day. I would have been stoked to see Rare make just as much as they did on the N64.
I think it was Steve, that at the time when working for Microsoft said , it was believed Nintendo fans would go over and buy Xbox, because they bought Rare. Expect it didn't work out the way they wanted. It was some video on RUclips he was in and once tweeted that.
you are so cool. Your videos are very entertaining and your voice is so comfortable to listen, with your skills you could easy work for the the news on tv. I wonder that you are so interested in such a thing like n64 games, was it your childhood too may ? However your you tube channel is great, i find it while surfing on youtube and need to mention how great it is. Hope you soon crack the 100 000 mark.
I really had high hopes for Yooka-Laylee... it was poor in my opinion. Lost interest in it quickly :( 2nd one looks fun tho
I would give anything for Banjo-X, it's basically the Final Fantasy VII Remake, but not emo.
But it never happened
cute
The concept of building vehicles is a good one, it's the poor implementation of the concept that made nuts and bolts a poor game.
Sad note re Banjo Tooie: I was a fan of Banjo Kazooie when it was new. I had no idea there was a sequel until a few years ago. Maybe they could have promoted it more?
I would love to see Banjo Threeie because at least it would be good box art graphics on Nintendo Gamecube.
Nuts and bolts was the original example of devs saying we know what the fans want but this is what we want and then they wonder why it bombs
Hey lady decade will ever be doing a review video of the gamecube portable??????
Another Great video, Looking forward to the next one. God Bless and take care.
Great video - brought back awesome memories, thank you!
Your voice is music to my ears. It's somehow nostalgic also.
Lookin good Lady Decade. Good to see you're doing well.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
While Threeie could have been what most fans think they wanted, I will defend Nuts and Bolts till the day I die.
I didn't really enjoy Tooie (bigger doesn't always equal better) and it proved that simply having a 3d world to move around in wasn't going to be enough to carry an entire franchise, so it ended up being a bloated mess. N&B was in many ways a much simpler game but also had a huge amount of depth and replay-ability in it that the previous games only can wish they had.
And before anyone tells me that I am not a true Banjo fan because I have a different opinion to what most people have about the third entry, I have been there since the beginning and I have a hard time deciding which of Banjo 1 or 3 are the best (or my favourite) game in the series, yes, N&B is really THAT good.
To those who never tried N&B because "CARS!???", here's some advice: Stop basing your opinion on popular internet personalities and videos. Boot up N&B with an open mindset and think about how the developers managed to keep pretty much everything good about the series in a post GTA 3 industry and put it in a game that's simultaneously much larger, far more fun, more replayable, hugely innovative all while somehow also being FAR more streamlined than Tooie.
My only real complaints about it were the removal of many of Kazooie's moves, which I think could have been a valuable option for people to optionally use who just wanted to do some classic BK style platforming around the maps for a few extra Jiggies in between challenges, the part limit which for the most part is fine but you might want to try and make some very large vehicles in the end game and find yourself hitting a cap (a PC version without this cap would have been amazing) and lastly, the performance of the game on 360 that wasn't great (but it can be enjoyed in 4k at a locked framerate on the new consoles and still looks incredible).
Oh and of course in true Banjo-Kazooie fashion, the music and humour was god tier. What an awesome, underrated gem.
Agreed. Nuts and Bolts is goated. People are salty because 'different = bad'
@@willycheez7218you two have common sense, to everyone stating its bad cause its different... Ahem.... Super Mario 64 vs Original Super Mario Bros.
Great research as always. May you stay gracious, lady decade.
We love you, mommydecade!
Nice video Lady!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Great 😊
If that's all they had for a name, I'm glad it wasn't released 😳🐢🐢
My friend liked these games more than I did. The only game I really played on 64 was Mario and Zelda. I tried banjo and conkers bad fur day and neither finished either. Although I think the last installment of nuts & bolts looks better than the previous. It's a good concept which I do think games are steering towards than being just mindless. I may have to try nuts & bolts, although I do think the cartoon concept here is a past element that I really can't get with today, only for the sake of doing a slight review of it for my channel. You showcased the Rare library a bit and they definitely had some notables, but uncertain their interests in today. It is a remnant of the past that fitted well in the past, but the future changes like technology. Some retro are timeless whereas some aren't so much so.
This video made me want to play through the Banjo games again
Wow I got to make one of the first 100 likes!
Hopefully when Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard, they can make 4K remakes of both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie as a collection (similar to Crash Bandicoot and Spyro The Dragon) and if it does well then make a Banjo-Threeie.
They don’t need Activision to do that. If they haven’t already I don’t see why they would in the future.
@@skatemo100 fair play PlayStation boy.
Any of the teams at Vicarious Visions, Beenox or Toys for Bob would be perfect candidates to revive Banjo, and possibly make sequels.
It's just a matter of if that's what they want to do, because they might have some of their own ideas to pitch to MS for things they couldn't have done under the Activision Blizzard management.
@@Reds-Retros that's right, Beenox will develop the 4K remasters of the first 2 Banjo-Kazooie games whilst Toys For Bob will develop Banjo-Threeie. Vicarious Visions won't be able to because they've already merged with Blizzard Entertainment.
@@jordanhowell7798 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't MS trying to buy all of that? What's stopping MS from assigning the teams to do other stuff if they want to go back to doing their own things instead of slaving away on CoD or whatever Activision told them to do?
I mean unless the majority of the VV team have left the company, they could just "get the band back together" so to speak, if they had the opportunity, right?
I have never played Nuts and Bolts. Is it worth my time?
Yes, yes... oh my god yes. An opinion from a Banjo Fan since the beginning: It's probably just as good as the first game if not better.
Just approach it with an open mind about how the developers tried to innovate and evolve the series in a post GTA 3 world where simply moving around a 3d world wasn't going to be enough to carry a franchise anymore. Play it on a One X or Series X if possible for the high resolution and locked framerate.
Maybe you won't like it, after all, vehicles aren't going to be for everyone... but maybe, just maybe you will find something truly special just like I did that will keep you entertained for years to come.
It's a decent game and has some fun aspects to it like car building, minecraft-like mechanics, and mini games. There is a museum level in the game that features cool cutscenes and facts. It isn't too much of a collectathon or 3D platformer though, if that's what you're looking for. It's not really a Banjo-Kazooie game in that sense.
Yooka-Laylee is the true spirital sucessor to Banjo Kazooie- apparently also some of the RARE veterans worked on it
Yes, but you need to be smart and creative to enjoy it. It's heavily reliant on your own innovation. If you are those things you'll love it
@@willycheez7218 I'm not smart, nor am I very creative. I just love the bird and the bear, Rareware, their creative ideas and if course their music.
Banjo-Threeie? I can't conceive of a worse title for a game.
I actually liked Nutz and Boltz, you get Banjo Kazooie and cart building. You can still fight enemies and solve puzzles. What is not to like?
