With such strong backing they can pump out more quality Banjo games.

Weird how they didn't really do anything with it. They made Viva Pinata which was a cute puzzle game, a Perfect Dark sequel, and then a Banjo Kazooie sequel, but that was basically it. I know that made that one female led fantasy game or something that people disliked, but I'm unsure what else they even did after like 2006 or something.

I get that Rare didn't really have a huge success until Donkey Kong Country, but you'd think they would have been able to transition from the SNES/N64 to the 360/Xbox One/Whatever they're called now.

They made Sea of Thieves, which is their biggest hit in recent years.

I just saw that, and I played SOT for hundreds of hours. Legit forgot they did that, as I it has such a long ass intro, I normally booted it up and tabbed out for several minutes.

I was just looking through their wiki and was like ffs I played the shit out of Sea of Thieves for a while.

I guess that makes up for it. I was scrolling through their wiki and it said something about a Battletoads reboot in 2020 which I don't recall ever releasing. I guess I'm just out of the loop in general here. I guess that game wasn't all that good, if Streets of Rage and Ninja Turtles reboots were constantly talked about, and nobody talks about Battletoads.

Idk, I heard all the talent left. Let's cross our fingers they don't turn the franchise into a something no one asked for

Maybe the talent will hit Kickstarter and make a not-Banjo game someday.
