In this week's episode, we explore the whimsical world of Banjo-Kazooie (1998), Rare's beloved 3D platformer that helped define the Nintendo 64 era. We trace its surprising evolution from a scrapped RPG called Project Dream into a genre-defining collect-a-thon starring a bear and a bird. Along the way, we look at how Rare pivoted in response to Super Mario 64, embraced exploration over precision platforming, and created one of gaming's most iconic duos. We also touch on the legacy of the series, the controversial Nuts & Bolts, and Banjo's continued presence in games like Super Smash Bros. It's a nostalgic celebration of creativity, reinvention, and the golden age of Rare. Find out more at https://a-trip-down-memory-card-lane.pinecast.co

"En 1996, su stick analógico y su arquitectura gráfica, revolucionaria para la época, cambiaron para siempre la forma de interactuar en los videojuegos en tres dimensiones. Nintendo 64 fue una consola única que redefinió el concepto de los juegos en 3D y alumbró algunos de los mejores títulos de la historia. Desde Super Mario 64, que rompió los esquemas de las plataformas en 3D, hasta GoldenEye 007, el cual sentó las bases para los FPS en consolas y multijugador en línea. Más tarde, Banjo-Kazooie se convirtió en un referente para los juegos de aventura gracias a un mundo lleno de secretos y personajes carismáticos, mientras que The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time rompía moldes y se convertía en uno de los más grandes videojuegos de todos los tiempos".Gamepress ha publicado La Leyenda de Nintendo 64, libro/revista coordinado por Sergio Martín y con nuestro también invitado Manuel Sagra, del podcast “Hadoken Rojo”. Subimos también a la Nabucodonosor al editor de Gamepress José Ángel Ciudad. Con ellos, y desde la perspectiva del tiempo, analizamos la importancia de Nintendo 64.Con la mirada al pasado, hacemos un homenaje con Don Víctor al grandísimo y eterno Don Mariano Ozores. D.E.P.

Because I know you've always wondered how (fish is made).

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, you could obtain a hood ornament called "The Spirit of Pants". But on this episode of the Kongversation, we argue that Mr. Pants is the true spirit of Rare. Honoring 20 years of the greatest puzzle game of all time, Hyle and Freezer examine the in-universe history of Rare's underwear mogul and television presenter who's appeared and been alluded to across their shared universe!

On this episode, we explore the hottest takes on video game from the members of our community, and review a game that B-Ross calls; "Banjo-Kazooie meets Hellraiser".Super Garbage Day DiscordSuper Garbage Day PatreonB-Ross's Twitch StreamVanfernal's Retro Stream ShowSupport the showShow Links: https://linktr.ee/supergarbagedayHosted by: B-Ross and Vanfernal Produced and edited by: B-Ross Email us at: supergarbageday@gmail.com

The Geek Critique returns to the Kongversation to help Hyle grapple with a newly relevant question now that Banjo-Tooie is on Nintendo Switch Online: What is it about the game that's historically kept it from clicking with fans of even the original Banjo-Kazooie, or inspired rabid devotion that eclipses all else? With NSO making it easier than ever to get into it and helping to mitigate the issues for the former, Hyle believes he has an answer for the latter. Banjo-Tooie is the ultimate game for Rare sickos!

As every October 23rd comes around, Fallout fans are reminded of the missed opportunity for Bethesda to have their own "N7 Day" with the franchise. Well, 2024 is the year they finally took action and put fan demands into motion! What took place is, quite frankly, a whole lot of nothing. The Dukes sift through the fallout (!) of this showcase and what Bethesda can do to make 2025's showing a much better, more worthwhile one. While it's Fallout Day, it also appears to be Digital Day for Xbox! 91% of US players are buying games digitally and half of Xbox's customers have bought into their discless console. Has Xbox's push into cloud gaming and Game Pass been vindicated in light of these statistics? Plus, we have info on 2025's Call Of Duty the very week that Black Ops 6 drops! What does Activision have in store for us? More changes, it seems! We also get into the Banjo Kazooie kerfuffle, Helldivers 2 on Xbox, Cog's love of Metaphor, the surprise that is TMNT: Mutants Unleashed, and plenty more! Learn more about your ad choices.
