Mario makes appearance in Banjo-Kazooie

Published by Pete at 3:06 am

Even though Rare has long since gone to the Microsoft side of things, the company can never seem to get out of Nintendo’s shadow. It may be generations before the present work of the company isn’t held up against their games before the break up. With this in mind, it’s nice to see the company giving a nod to the partner Rare spent many a year with.

It’s sort of like trying to take over the reins in Green Bay next season like that one guy in going to have to do. What is his name again? I guess it doesn’t matter. He’s not Brett.

    It’s not like “Hey, Mario! Long time no see, buddy!” It’s more like “Banjo-Kazooie: The Mario Killer”. They blow his head off. That’s not a friendly not. That’s penis wagging.

    I don’t think that that is actually in the game. As far as I know, you can make you own custom vehicles. I’m sure that someone made it, and it’s not really in it. I mean, Microsoft would not stand for having advertising for one of their competitors in one of their games. Rare is not Third-Party, it’s Second-Party, and therefore, owned by Microsoft. It would be really stupid for them to allow this, and it would be completely be beyond me as to why Nintendo let Rare do this. But then, thats just my two-cents.

    the image actually from gametrailers debut trailer for the game. i don’t know where they got the gameplay for the video, but it wasn’t just some guy with access to the game who made it.

    Well, regardless, I still dont think it will be in the final product. The legal ramifications would cost too much.
