The Banjo-Kazooie series retrospective continues - this time, on the go with Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge! This Game Boy Advance platformer takes the 3D collectathon gameplay of the Nintendo 64 games and adjusts it to fit on a handheld console. It obviously can't reach the technical levels of the N64 titles, but is it still a good game in its own right? #BanjoKazooie #GruntysRevenge #SmashUltimate

What are some other handheld spinoffs of classic franchises that you enjoy?

@moofasa6953 3 года назад

Activision's handling of Spyro

@stunningcactus978 3 года назад

Spyro Attack of the Rhynocs on GBA was awesome! Also Mario vs Donkey Kong was a fun little series.

@awesomeocelot7475 2 года назад

I don’t really consider Grunty’s revenge. Plus handheld titles aren’t always spin offs

@jevinday 3 года назад

Wait...WHAT?!?! I am a HUGE Banjo Kazooie fan, and I definitely had an advance AND an SP as a kid. HOW DID I MISS THIS? I was literally playing Banjo Kazooie on my Xbox One this morning. This looks fucking awesome for a GBA game, the colors fit the world wonderfully! Wow.

@tylerwalters2205 Год назад

This game is dope.. I suggest downloading an emulator to play the game

0:38 They almost went with activision . It could have been worse. Let that sink in....

@cheezyfilmsproductions1842 3 года назад

I mean I don't know how it could have been worse in regards to Banjo. We've had one game in almost 20 years, and it has nothing to do with Banjo Kazooie. The only good thing to come of the Microsoft purchase is that they were willing to let Banjo be in Smash. Maybe that wouldn't have happened under Activision, but maybe we also would have gotten Banjo Threeie under Activision. Plus, we could still have Banjo on Nintendo consoles. If I want to play Banjo on my Switch my only option is Yooka-Laylee.

@lollirot9561 4 года назад

I have a feeling your channel is about to start growing very quickly. These videos are just so good, especially coming from a "smaller channel". I'm particularly enjoying these Banjo series videos. Before watching this, I had never heard of the "mobile" versions of this game (which I suppose was for my own good lol), so it was really interesting to hear about them and to see some footage to get an idea of how awful they are! Keep up the great work!

@CloudConnection 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words! You definitely are not missing anything good with the mobile version of Grunty's Revenge. I recommend staying as far away as possible.

@SuperPoopatron 2 года назад

To be fair, if I was a kid that didn't bring my game boy advance when going to the dentist, I would have loved playing it on my mum's phone. Mobile phone games back then were mostly designed to pass the time. Nowadays, it can be emulated.

@awesomeocelot7475 2 года назад

@mrzeloswilder 3 месяца назад

Okay here's the funny thing for ME at least. Which is that for Breegull Bay, the 2nd level, on my very first playthrough I didn't actually find the one section which led to Kazooie on my first time through. Which made me really confused where she was when the mole for this game kept saying that I needed her to learn the next move. Which basically ended up making the game a challenge run where I learned it is impossible to unlock Gruntilda without Kazooie. There straight up just aren't enough jiggies one can get without the moves she provides. since eggs lock off so many things in the last 2 levels.

@pedrohenriquecarneiro3386 2 месяца назад

I think, for what it was at the time, it was a good game. I would put a extra world, and flesh out the moveset(for example, each of the 5 eggs in Banjo Tooie were useful for something). As for the characters and the dialogue, the problem is that you meet them for a short time to do a specific quest/jiggy, then you never see them again

@jonahj9519 Месяц назад

I feel like this game would be way more memorable if they stuck with the original idea of a 2D platformer. We could’ve got a Banjo Metroidvania. Isometric 3d platformers are kinda iffy.

@rapmetaldemon09 Месяц назад

Not sure if it's just because I was playing on emulator with keyboard controls but the game was not as easy for me as you described it lmao. I've died countless times due to enemies that take 2 health per hit and pop up out of nowhere, and of course venturing into places that instantly kill you because the camera is nonexistent. Not to mention many of the jumps (especially those with time limits) are just barely doable for me. This is coming from someone who 100 percented Kazooie and Tooie when they were like 12. This game kicked my ass for some reason

Go back and try Tooie again thinking it's more adventure than other 3D collectathon platformers. Like Jak and Daxter, Tooie is very open and sprawling and rewards deep understanding and exploration.

@BareBandSubscription 2 года назад

Your point about not faulting a handheld title for having a weaker story and characters than it’s console counterpart is a bit odd to me. How is writing limited by technology?

@CloudConnection 2 года назад

It's not so much the limited technology, but rather having a lesser budget compared to a full-fledged console release (especially considering Rare was technically releasing a game on a competitor's console). Not having a lot of the key players from the N64 games also didn't help.
