  1. I’ll definitely be playing it. I have a cartridge I bought from someone else, but I’ll likely wind up playing it on Switch due to how easy it is to play games on it

  2. This is great to hear
    Video game consoles from the past, consumers got more for their money because consoles back then had sequels. Now will the 60 million PS5 owners be able to play Astral Bot 2 or will they have to pay nearly a thousand dollars and buy a PS6 to play it?

    1. They did get to play Astro Bot 2, as Astro’s Playroom was the first title in the series respectively. As for the rest of your statement, I think you’re misunderstanding the complexity of game development. We actually get far more for our money today than we ever did back then, as well as with gaming being cheaper than ever and more accessible than ever. Consoles of the past had extreme limitations, and paying $70 then for a SNES or N64 game is MUCH more expensive than $70 today for a game triple the length. You’re clearly jaded, because as someone who grew up when the NES was the hot ticket, I’d rather be in today’s gaming landscape than in nostalgia-land.

      1. Wasn’t Astro bot playroom technically the first one, with Rescue Mission being the 2nd, and this one being the 3rd?

        Also technically, those other 2 were tech demos, and this would be the first. Either way. Those other 2 were PS4 games, so he’s “technically” not wrong.

  3. I’ve been waiting to play this on the switch with the N64 controller.
    I had banjo kazooie on the N64 which I played to death and completed but never got the sequel due to limited cash as a kid.
    The game in cartridge form is still pretty expensive unboxed so I have never added it to my N64 collection.
    I have it on Xbox but it didn’t feel right with the Xbox controller.
    Playing a quality N64 game for the first time is a rarity for me so I’m very excited to get started on this one 😁

  4. In addition to co-op games, sprunki 2 also has modes where players can compete against each other. In these modes, you usually have to beat tasks or race through levels as quickly as possible. This element of competition makes the game more fun and pushes players to improve their skills.

  5. Nulls Brawls est un jeu mobile amusant où les joueurs se battent en temps réel. Choisissez des personnages avec des pouvoirs spéciaux, jouez avec des amis ou en ligne. Le but est de gagner en battant les adversaires avec stratégie et travail d’équipe.

  6. Banjo-Tooie’s return on Nintendo Switch Online has me hyped! Rare’s excitement is contagious. Remember those tricky levels, especially Grunty Industries? It’ll be fun watching new players tackle it. It’s almost like watching someone navigate a particularly challenging level in Slope, except with more collecting! This rerelease is a great way to experience a classic. Who’s ready to jump back in next week?

    I’m really looking forward to replaying Banjo-Tooie on the Switch. Grunty Industries was always a challenge, but I remember one part that was even more frustrating. It involved some really unpredictable enemies; they were like crazy cattle 3d running all over the place. I hope I can get through it this time without too much trouble.

  12. Nostalgia always hits hard when classic games make a comeback. Seeing Banjo-Tooie return to Nintendo Switch Online reminds me of the first time I replayed an old favorite on a modern console and felt the same joy as years ago. Sharing this excitement feels a lot like Geometry Dash where timing, patience, and rhythm combine to deliver that perfect sense of fun.

  21. This is fantastic news! I’ve been wanting to replay Banjo-Tooie for ages, and having it on Switch Online makes it so convenient. I’m looking forward to tackling Grunty Industries again, though maybe it won’t be as tough as a level in Cheat or Repeat!
