I'd never\xa0played it before, and when I was\xa0done with it, I said\xa0I thought it was better that Super\xa0Mario 64 (a statement I stand by today). We both agreed that we\xa0needed to get around to playing Banjo-Tooie, and then, like, 3 years passed. I knew we'd get to it eventually, but I wasn't sure when. And then a Patreon of the show by the name of Banjo (coincidence?) sponsored an episode, and said it's time.\xa0Play Banjo-Tooie. So I did. And hooooo boy, do I have a lot to say about it.\xa0\n\xa0\nIt takes the formula of the original game, and expands on it in a massive way. Bigger levels, more puzzles, and a long-ass cutscene to start the thing off. It's definitely more ambitious than the first game. Is it better? You'll have to listen to find out.\xa0\n\xa0\nShow sponsor, Banjo, swings by to explain why this game is so damned near and dear to his heart. And then the Banjo to my Kazooie, Mark McCue himself, gives me a call and we take a deep dive into the fun, albeit somewhat controversial, Banjo-Tooie.\n\xa0\nAnd before we get jiggie (see what I did there?), I slap together another edition of the 'Remember The Game? Infamous Intro'!\n\xa0\nThis week, someone asks how I feel about buying new games at full price. How excited am I about the TMNT: The Last Ronin game?? And how often do people complain about the Infamous Intro??\n\xa0\nPlus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Rare (developed) Nintendo 64 games: Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, and Conker's Bad Fur Day.\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
