We knew the latest edition of EDGE magazine would have something Banjo Kazooie related and we weren’t wrong. The publication has an interview with Playtonic which consists of six people working on a spiritual successor to the beloved Banjo Kazooie. The team says that they would love to see the game on Nintendo platforms. The six man team already has funding, but is looking for a publisher.
Yes there is an interview with Playtonic, there’s 6 full time staff now and they hope to grow to 15 staff. First game is a spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie and they have funding but would like to work with a publisher if it is mutual. “There’s a history of working with Nintendo so we’d naturally love to see our game on a Nintendo platform. If people tell us to make Wii U our target console platform then we’ve got the flexibility to do that.
Thanks, Kenji
AWESOME
Wasn’t there a kickstarter fund for a similar Banjo-Kazooie styled game about a Latino Wolf?
Yes, and it’s still being developed for all platforms.
OH GOOD! I haven’t heard anything about it in a while and I was fearing the worst.
They should not put it on Xbox.
Agreed
Why not?
Microsoft thinks its so tough , yet took the bear and bird away like banjo kazooie and Tooie was enough. Yet release nuts and bolts and should have stayed inside a volt.
You’re thinking of Lobodestroyo. Been on my list for a long while.
This 1 is currently called Project Ukulele.
IT’S TRUE?!
This clip sums scenario, I think you can guess who the customer is…
I wonder why Nintendo won’t put money into this? They know a game like this is what Wii U needs. But Nintendo is stupid when it comes to something that makes sense to help their home console.
I think you are more stupid than nintendo.
Me more stupid than Nintendo. Funny Toyota thinks like me and the Camry is still one of the world’s best selling globally. Nintendo doesn’t think like me and both consoles outsold Wii U. But I’m more stupid than Nintendo. Nintendo should had put money into this to become their publisher and make it an exclusive and cancel it going to Steam and other consoles,
well nintendo is kinda smart though because activision wanted the newest skylander to be on the wiiu/3ds only but nintendo said no… guess because nintendo made amiibo after activision wanted to work with nintendo on the next skylander series. nintendo also smart that will not allow ea origin to be used on the wiiu
Jtz from Judah Tribe: Where in this article does it mention anything about Nintendo not wanting to put any money into it? If you read the post correctly, a few people are already funding it.
Hardly stupid from their point. That’s like saying Microsoft or Sony would be stupid for not funding a game that would be going onto their system.
They already said they have funding, Nintendo doesn’t need to put money into it. They are looking for a publisher not a financier.
jtz just likes to find every stupid opportunity to make fun of nintendo when its irrelevant to the article just ignore him just another troll in this site
Oh really. Now it’s time let me see how much you know of little old me?
Nintendo Ingsmaster Sicr says he’s fine with me if you go away I’ll be troll free.
I’m confused… Doesn’t Microsoft own this series (Rare).
They do. Sadly. :(
It’s a spiritual successor so it won’t be using the IP just a whole different game with the same mechanics as Banjo Kazooie
Oh, I see. :)
Let it go. N64 for life
Hd remake xb1 720 15fps
XD
Anything to combat the Xbot menace is a welcome sight…
Xbox is dumb. They own Banjo and just has him sitting in a volt in prison. That’s a money making franchise when used right.
The Xbots can’t use anything and make it right, they only make things worse no matter what…
It’s because Microsoft poured millions into “Nuts And Bolts” and it bombed. They lost money on it, and now they are gun-shy to make another one. If they had any intelligence they would know what went wrong with Nuts and Bolts and would realize how to remedy the problem.
And besides, they bought Rare to get them away from Nintendo, not to own their I.P.’s.
I wonder what new animal IP will be used?
Probably the same animal or at least I hope.
I saw the teaser on another site. They two sets of eyes are the same colors as B-K’s.
make whatever you want from this image

See the picture on my screen? Do you know where you have been? Get more wrong for Grunty’s sakes then a lava bath you will take. You pick up items from the ground which item makes this dumb sound?
Pandas and Zebras seems to be the trending animal craze. Hopefully the zebra will wear glasses and the panda will be from a non-oriental setting. Pandas from Alaska and zebras from Kuwait is what I’m betting on
I’m a happy worker

When Microsoft bought rare they thought they also got the rights to Donkey Kong
Hahahahs retards
God thing they didn’t. I wouldn’t had enjoyed Tropical Freeze one of my favorite Wii U tittles. I really really love that game.
Haha! that was really dumb!
Need a publisher? Why not Retro Studios? Or masahiro sakurai?
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.
xD
Calm down wonder Pink
Banjo Kazooie was one of my favorite games of all-time so please, please, please Nintendo publish this game. It is what a lot of Nintendo fans have been craving for
No one is a bigger Banjo Kazooie than me. If so why no one rhyming with JT….z.
Can you all email this to Nintendo? They need to jump on this.
Why don’t they call or email Nintendo and get a meeting with them and show them the game and get it on the WII U NOW?!!!!???
I’m thinking it’s a tiger and lizard duo judging by the pic of the eyes on neogaf :s
So who’s going to be Mumbo Jumbo? Gosh I missed that skull turning Banjo into whatever he needed him to be.
That sounds interesting. I’ve never played the Banjo Kazooie games but I’m a fan of 3D platformers. If this game can get a spiritual successor, maybe there’s still hope for ol’ Crash Bandicoot.
I own both Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie. But I’ve never played either of them (except for just briefly looking at them). I can’t tolerate looking at N64 graphics in this day and age.
Then that’s sad for you. Though your never used cartridges could be worth a lot of money on eBay.
My games are used, not new.
Remember how Kazooie and Bottles the mole always got into it with each other? I loved it.. also I hope the boss has rhymes.
Remember these rhymes: “Here he is the fun beginsmy tricks and traps let’s see who wins” or this: ” What’s wrong Banjo is it tough. Let me know when you had enough” “That was a secret how did you know? Did my sister tell you so?” That Jiggy was for me now harder still the game will be” “Oh Banjo I watch you play and can’t think of much to say” oh that brings back memories.
Ding Pot Dig Pot on the wall who’s the prettiest of all? Don’t fight and scratch my little bear you’ll soon need bigger underwear. Hurry Klungo press that switch I’m tired of being an ugly witch. Hear the crowd they boo and hiss to see you fail they will not miss. Tooth says she’s fine with me. If you go home I’ll I’ll set her free. That was a secret how did you know? Did my sister tell you so?
Does it really take a supercomputer to figure this out?
it’s gonna suck or something else that’s bad, too good to be true.
Get this wrong for Grunty sakes and a lava bath you will take. You pick up jiggies really loud which character makes this silly sound?
That’s right swim under there . Icy water takes up double air.
Wii U already has the best games… so Nintendo doesn’t necessarily “need” this. My wallet’s hurting already. Zelda and Xenoblade X would be enough for me this year, but if they plan to release it all the better i suppose. It’s just a pity all the PsBox owners miss another potentially great game. Oh well, it’s a cruel world. Haha!
This article is kinda misleading. The developers indicated that the game would be a spiritual successor to the adventure games of Rare’s past – not to Banjo-Kazooie itself. Microsoft still owns the intellectual properties of the characters. Just a heads up !
My biggest fear with these classics making a comeback is that not enough people today will give a rats ass about them. Other than people who know them from their childhood.

I can’t believe you went in there. Now wash your hands you filthy bear.
It’s not fair it’s not fair how I wanted to win how badly I wanted to be thin. You take the prize on show while up the winning stairs I go.
Ding Pot Ding Pot see these filthy clothes I got? You’ll soon be washing a lot. Your music skills are mighty fine now take this golden piece of mines.
Your attacks I can take all day, it really takes my breath away. So Tooty thinks she’s really pretty? I’ll steal her looks what a pity.
Humph. Too heavy. Grunty’s fate this cannot be so hurry Klungo come recuse me.
That’s what you think you dirty pot. See these filthy clothes I got? You’ll so be washing an awful lot.
If it’s got a very similar vibe to the original Banjo & Kazooie, like how Mighty No 9 has a Mega Man vibe, I will gladly buy this game if it comes to the Wii U.
Anyway, if Ubisoft or EA is allowed to be the publisher, we’re screwed as these two publishers have apparently made it their goal to screw Nintendo’s Wii U.
Banjo Kazooie must have rhymes. Without the rhymes how will it bring up those old childhood times?
