Current Events > So it's been a few days- how do you feel about the Banjo reveal?

(+) Yeah! (+)

In case you haven't seen the trailer:

I wept like a goddamn baby dude. At work. In front of all my coworkers. I have never cried of happiness in my entire life but it just hit me so goddamn hard.

I still get a little misty-eyed when I think about it.

I have been waiting for this for 20 fucking years. It's not that uncommon. This was an emotional reveal for a ton of people. Even Grant Kirkhope cried.

Ill admit I felt a little sad-happy when it was revealed, but that was less the trailer and more the music. Something about Grant Kirkhopes BK theme tugs at my nostalgia like that pasta dish in Ratatoillie hit the food critic

Some of yall grown dudes crying over this are sus af imo

Yeah I started crying the minute the Jiggy came on screen but the music is when it came in full force

I've never really been into Banjo, so it did nothing for me personally, but I liked how hyped some reactions were on YouTube.

it also would have been hilarious if there was no Banjo, and it stayed being a troll from the Duck Hunt dog.

It's like a massive piece of my entire childhood that has been pretty much abandoned for my entire adult life and then finding its way back in to my life with a triumphant fanfare

Or like your best friend seeing you again after 20 years when you thought they were dead
---

Honestly its cool hes finally available but this is the biggest overreaction of all of E3. People have lost their minds over this shit, and if were being real his only good game was the first.

Hes right its just a cartoon character lmao go take a shower and enjoy your cartoon lmaooooo

I think its cool and I'm looking forward to it, but these over reactions and people literally crying over it are weird as hell honestly

It really does give validity to some of stereotypes people have about Smash fans

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but the truth is that it is really freaking strange.

If you go up to virtually anyone and tell them you shed tears because a character was being added to a fighting game they're going to look at you like you're insane. That's just how it is

Dont really care. I havent played either series of the revealed characters but Hero looks more interesting

I wouldve been hyped if this came before the game released. Kencineroar just killed my inner Smash fanboy.

Tim I hope you know we tell you this because we care about you

way more interested for all the sweet music remixes than the character tbh

We have fond memories playing this game as kids. People who are in their mid-20s in 2019 may have been like five or six when it came out. It's pretty understandable.

Man i was 5 or 6 playing banjo too but I didnt cry about it tf u mean

Banjo looks fun, Hero looks generic, and feels like another guy from another of the billion Japanese fighters.

I mean that some of us were strongly affected by the game growing up, and those fond memories stuck with us and left us feeling nostalgically sentimental about it. It's a thing.

Those attack menus tho. I'm curious to see how that works.

I could understand that - Ive been playing megaman since I was like 3 and played everything megaman related until star force and i was so hype for him in smash 4 but guess what I didnt cry

It's almost like everyone is different or something

People who cry over video game announcements are almost as weird as magic the gathering players

Youre right Im p weird lol

Banjo-Kazooie should have been there from the beginning. This is a wrong thats finally been righted. There is still hope in the world.

True, but Mega Man has had a glut of games over the years. The last good Banjo-Kazooie game came out in 2000. Then Microsoft took the property and sucked out its soul. Plus, Banjo has been one of the most highly-demanded characters in Smash, for whatever reason. Even more than Mega Man.

Say that I bring up another character from a video game like goemon I fucking love that game

I still wouldnt shed tears

Like I legit dont get it - I cant get excited over a video game character enough to cry over their inclusion to a party brawler I just dont get it homie

Did someone just relate seeing a presumably dead friend again to Banjo getting added to Smash?

It's pretty amazing the reaction this dude is getting.

I think it's awesome that Banjo's announcement provided a new sense of purpose and a reason to keep living for so many people. Don't you?

i think its a weird meme.
