This was amazing, thanku

I remember getting this for my eighth birthday and me and my sister would grind this game together and we had so much fun and I still have my copy of the game

right along with dead cells. this is my fav game. sending love<3 youre so underrated :p

Literally the best samurai game ive played. Although i would loooove a game with mongols as protagonists. When i bought ghost of Tsushima on PC. I got so immersed, i played it straight through for 2 and a half days no sleep. My body cannot handle that kinda abuse anymote but I thoroughly loved and enjoyed the game

Why is this video so underrated

This video is awesome. But your quip about Freezezy Peaks bgm being the best snow theme of any game ever? I would say Frosty Village of Diddy Kong Racing, Walrus Cove of Diddy Kong Racing, as well as Everfrost Peak of the same game are much better, then there’s Frappe Snowland of Mario Kart 64 and Sherbert Field in Mario Hoops 3 on 3 for the DS, all those themes top Freezezy Peak bro, check it out for yourself 😊

My favorite along with Red Dead :) Side question, where'd you get the opening retro sound effects/samples?

👏🏻👏🏻 A great and beautiful essay of my favorite game of 2020!

31:30 lmao wonderwing ftw

Nuts and Bolts. Banjo Kazooie: Car Dependency Edition. It's like a European or Asian who is used to lively places where fun is a short walk away moving to America and finding all they do is drive around an enoty wasteland consuming useless junk!

Great video, think you went in his swamp (Xbox) XD

Shrektastic video ❤

15 minutes in and I thought I was watching a Banjo-Kazooie video 😅

I’m currently finally fully playing this game, just made it to Clankers Cavern!! I was born the year it came out and I remember as a kid the farthest I had gotten was just beating mumbo mountain cause my cousins would hog the controller

I liked nuts and bolts. i really enjoyed making stupid cars

My family loved this game! We spent tons of hours in it; we earned all the unlockables and beat it on every difficulty level (though we didn't do too much versus mode stuff). About it being accessible and fun for everyone, I can personally attest to that. I'm the oldest child in my family, I'm 11 years older than my youngest sibling, there are 5 of us all together (so 3 more interspersed in that age gap), and we all enjoyed it. Even my parents thought it was fun and cool. I'm pretty sure we all have the theme song indelibly embedded into our brains :) It's a pretty special game! So glad to see it covered in detail!

Great Video! Banjo and Kazooie will forever have a very special place in my heart as on of the best, if not the best Platformers from my childhood. The Problem with Rare these days is, they aren't Rare anymore. No one from the original Team is still there, it's Rare in name only. Glad that you felt the same way about Nut's and Bolts opening, it was just a slap in the face of those who loved Banjo and Kazoie. Disrespectful is what that was... To be honest, I hope Rare never touches the IP ever again, they do no longer have what it takes to give it the respect it deserves. In my oppinion, they should sell the IP to peole who actually care about the characters. Playtonic might be a good option, although Yooka and Laylee are already quite charming (maybe a mash up at some point would be cool),. So please, for the love of glob, Rare should not make Banjo-Threeie, I don't think I would survive that emotional slap in the face. The best thing that happened to Banjo and Kazooie in the past years, was their introduction to Super Smash Bros. As Grant Kirkhope said: "Banjo... Kazooie... we're home." Now let them stay home, give those characters back to someone that treats them with respect.

Honestly, if I get married and noone is dressed like a sad clown from the 17th century, I'd be livid. It is pretty cool that a lot of these fan games are practically memes themselves, though, for better or for worse. Great work with this vid, my guy! ❤

I’ve loved this game for well over a decade, glad to see another video on it

Mr wolf i must say i found your banjo kazooie retrospective to be spot-on

Banjo kazooie is one of my all time favorite games I totally agree the music is amazing you hit the nail on the head . Banjo tooie on the other hand feels like it chose quantity over quality and don't even get me started on nut and bolts

30:23 I CALL IT THAT TOO!🤣 Rusty FUCKET Bay

Hey, I had to go water the fish halfway through, can you say it all again for me?

OK, the end was kind of weird, my bathroom may never be the same!

My favorite is Shrek Pong! Im not sure how you get to the point in life where you think I will make a video game and combining Shrek with the original video game invented sounds like a good idea! It wasnt! But, your video rocks, nicely done!

You've done it. You've gone ogre the edge.

14:27 took 15 minutes to get to banjo-kazooie

What about an Irish specialty? He still lives in Ireland... What about a croissant? He really loved to make fun of French people

Fantastic game!

not golden abyss?

There’s nothing more I appreciate than a well-edited retrospective video with a speaker whose mic doesn’t make them sound like they’re talking from 5 feet away.

Among Thieves is by far my favorite. My second favorite game of all time behind another naughty dog game lol TLOU

Unpopular opinion... Rusty bucket bay is my favorite level in the game. I have a shirt that says "Rusty bucket bay company" with 312-111 on it.

I'll talk the same way you did with banjo kazooie about spyro trilogy even if it's not from my childhood

I love Nuts and Bolts!

I love Clanker's Cavern! Especially the songs in that level!

I love Banjo-Kazooie!

27:37 only night level? Freezeezy Peak, Bubble Gloop Swamp, and Winter CCW would like you to look up at their dark skies, :P

I gotta go against as much distaste there is for Nuts and Bolts. I think it needs to be viewed as a spinoff, not a mainline title. Similar to Breath of the Wild 1&2. Those aren't even Zelda games anymore, so you have to view them as their own title/genre. That being said, I unironically think Nuts and Bolts is more fun as a 'lego creator style' than BotW2. I fervently hate BotWs though; I played Nuts and Bolts on release and as much as I hated their spit in the face attitude at the start, at least the creativity you could engage in was fun. I can't even grant BotW (1&2) that.

Great stuff man.. just played through the games and I totally agree!

I liked the video, however i cannot agree with the opinions on Nuts and Bolts, i actually and GENUINELY enjoyed this game very very much and i would unironically get hyped as fuck if theyd make a sequel of it. And i am saying that as someone who did play the originals a looooooot when they came out.

What I will never understand is their lack of faith in the 3D platformer, when MARIO is right there, raking in the cash like it always has. People love these types of games, and banjo went the extra mile to differentiate itself enough from Mario to both appeal to that base, while growing and maintaining its own. The cognitive dissonance is just astounding. Frankly, I think they should embrace the self aware remake concept based on Gruntys final lines from nuts and bolts. She could attempt to remake the original story to change reality in her favor, so essentially take the time travel concept of the gba title but allow the story a ton of room to expand and grow organically. Either that or sell the IP to someone who actually cares about it.

Woah, did we just go through the whole of Mad Monster's Mansion and NOT talk about the flowerpot audio? How can you skip that XD?

I'd buy an xbox for once just to play a not remake but same style new Banjo-Kazooie game for sure! Not some racing style.

Fantastic video once again, Arin! Finally sat down to give this a watch and loved it! I'm not the biggest Elder Scrolls fan and while I've never played ANY of the games! I won't lie... your video has tempted me to give it a shot! (I can't resist old games like this one!) We'll have to see! But once again, brilliant video and can't wait for the next one!
