I've played a bit of N&Bs so far, great game, but not what I want to talk about.
The actual intro of the game is so freaking awesome.
SPOILER: (dont look int his post anymore, nothing besides an intro spoiler!!!!!
Summary: Banjo and Kazooie are fat playing and xbox with a n64 tossed in the background, they say Ghoulies sucked (basically), they reference "that italian guy", and they make fun of banjo being a collectathon.
So epic.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Nov 11, 2008
Nuts & Bolts takes the platformer series in a wild new direction, as Banjo and Kazooie return to battle Gruntilda using unique, player-customized vehicles.
Banjo N&B intro = Best intro ever!
And yes, that is the voice from the guy who voices Fable. (rare and lionhead are both in england afterall)
VP reference as well
"I've played a bit of N&Bs so far, great game, but not what I want to talk about.How is that awesome? Rare making one of the greatest games of all time with a sequel that was even BETTER for a Nintendo system, then making an intro that takes the piss out of Nintendo, basically telling them to fuck off, is awesome? Graphics = Awesome, but I just feel dirty playing this game. I ALMOST hate Rare for this.

It's funny that you should say that. In all seriousness, I think the original Banjo-Kazooie has the greatest game intro ever. I have yet to watch Nuts and Bolts' intro, but I imagine I'll be doing that within the next couple days.

"And yes, that is the voice from the guy who voices Fable. (rare and lionhead are both in england afterall)By "the guy who voices fable" do you mean stephen fry, the guy who voices Reaver in fable II? I've got the game, and I watched the opening, and I don't remember hearing him in it. Although he's been in so many games recently I've got used to hearing him in games, I could have missed it. He was the narrator in LBP too. I would watch it again to hear, but my uncle's watching the TV and my internet connection is running super slow today and the youtube vid won't load.
EDIT: Just checked it. It is Stephen fry. Cool. Stephen fry is a pretty famous actor/comedian here in the UK. It's cool to hear his voice in games.

They also make fun of Microsoft, all kinds of different genres, the Frag Dolls clan, jocks, nerds, indie developers, and all manner of other facets of gaming culture. They were not focused on Nintendo, and have not been."sionweeks said:Seriously? You think that they're making fun of themselves? Somewhat, yes, but ultimately, no.

No, actually Nuts and bolts is better. You obviously havent played N&Bs. I doubt you've even played the first 2 to be honest
And they take a "piss" on everyone. They call banjo a collectathon, they call ghoulies absolute crap, and they say Viva Pinata is boring.
Other things I've noticed so far: They make fun of different groups (ranging from jocks to the frag dolls), they have MANY innuendos, etc.
Why are you such a Rare hater? In case you haven't been paying attention, Banjo 3 fucking rocks, Vp was great as was Kameo (but too short!). PDZ should have been better imo.
