It turns out that the team at Rare were big fans of the goofy looking bear. However, the release of Super Mario 64 inspired Rare to create their own take on the 3D platformer.ĭevelopment on Dream was scrapped in favour of what would become Banjo-Kazooie, but some elements of Project Dream found their way into the game, including the lead character. During the course of the game’s development, the main character was changed from a young boy to Banjo, and it became a linear platformer in a similar vein to Donkey Kong Country. However, Rare opened up in late-2015 about how they were originally working on a project called Dream, which would have been an ambitious isometric RPG aimed for release on the SNES. The original N64 Banjo-Kazooie game was developed by Rare, with development starting around 1997. The History of Banjo-Kazooie Banjo-Kazooie We’re asking the question, as we often do: will we ever see another Banjo-Kazooie game?
Rare’s iconic bear and bird combo captured the imagination of many N64 players, and while the characters are still part of the gaming mainstream to this day thanks to some choice appearances, we haven’t seen a new Banjo-Kazooie game in well over a decade. Between Mario, Sonic, Crash, Spyro, Gex, Croc and Bubsy (some of these names may not match up), there were plenty of adorable characters for players to instantly gravitate towards, but the duo that stood out from the pack was always Banjo-Kazooie. The platforming genre just seems to be the perfect breeding ground for gaming mascots.
