For a fifteen hour game, the Rare sound technicians somehow found dozens of opportunities for original songs. Honestly, now, I'm having trouble saying bad things about this game. All things considered, these graphics are in a different league than the rest on Ninendo 64 - just in the nick of time. My only real complaint is that Conker's gloves grow and lose individual fingers quite frequently, and this is a bit distracting. I'd assume when next-gen games come out with orthoscopic goggles (and believe me, they will), this type of problem will be averted completely. It's a bit tricky jumping when you don't have a perfect oval beneath you at all times, but you get used to it, and the realism hugely benefits. It's not nearly as detailed as Conker, but at least it's in synch with the speech - something that's yet to be done convincingly on a Nintendo system anyway. Most of the side-characters move their mouths open and closed to voice their lines. Conker and the Panther King actually look like they're speaking their lines. Everything is fluid, realistic, and creative. And the animation - oh, the animation - we all know what this game moves like. I was in awe that they made an entire room's textures move (during the Chucky Poo fight). The textures are extremely detailed and varied. Actually, I think that's closer to truth than bias anyway. But damnit, these are the best graphics I've ever seen on the Nintendo 64, bar-none. I'm really trying hard not to be biased in my reviews. Whether or not it means anything for the future, or is a glimpse into a What If? for a 2015 that never came to be, remains to be seen. So yes, there's more to this than a simple error by the .jp website crew. While that deal was inked well after the Wii U was already an archaic relic, it still shows the open channels of communication have continued well into the Switch era. Furthermore, it's not exactly a secret that lots of backscratching must have gone on when Nintendo and Microsoft arranged for both Banjo & Kazooie and Steve from off of Minecraft to appear in Super Smash Bros. Nintendo owns the Donkey Kong games Rare developed, but there are still bits that have to be cleared with Rare and Microsoft every time they reappear, as late as Donkey Kong Country 3 showing up on the Switch a couple of weeks ago. Lots of deals are made between Microsoft and Nintendo concerning the legacy Rare titles. While there's never going to be 'Rare Replay on Switch' like so many have wanted, this might point to Banjo-Kazooie having been on Wii U at one time. Well, I've heard rumors and scuttlebutt for years from sources about Banjo-Kazooie possibly appearing on a Nintendo console in some form, none of which actually manifested in the end. Ergo, two N64 classics appearing for the Wii U long after it was choked to death by market indifference.Д«ut that doesn't explain why it was these two games, nor does it explain why Microsoft Japan is listed.

It might have been keyed in long before the Nintendo Switch was announced, which, with the abrupt end of the Wii U, made those responsible forget they had this placeholder for these two games still waiting to appear. My theory? This was a dummy release date that had been scheduled to the site at one point, with a far-off day and year (the end of December in the year 2020) put in as a placeholder before being forgotten about until it suddenly showed up and Nintendo had a minor Internet scandal on their hands. But it's strange, and there has to be a bit more smoke here than from the fire I set in the dumpster outside of Nintendo HQ in order to snoop around while the employees evacuate. Now, this could have been the drunken prank of a staffer with one foot out the door, and obviously there's no likelihood that Banjo-Kazooie and Blast Corps are being released for a dead console that hasn't seen any new games added to its Virtual Console service for over three years. URL: - WIDTH: 65 - CAPTION: 'Should have been Perfect Dark,' says Wii U-era contrarian deadenders. Why? Because of the publisher listed: Microsoft Japan. This might seem like an innocuous flub on the surface, but digging through it a bit deeper it starts to reveal a very curious story indeed. As first spotted by the Facts about Banjo-Kazooie Twitter account, Banjo-Kazooie and Blast Corps, two Rare games that were originally published and partially-owned by Nintendo, suddenly appeared for the Wii U Virtual Console for release on December 30th. In Nintendo's native Land of the Rising Angry Sun, a curious listing appeared, then promptly vanished, for upcoming games releases. Clickbaity headline aside, what's going on here?
