agreed with everything but epic boss fights.

There was nothing epic about the boss battles in SMG.

They are fun, and interesting. But not epic

Epic would be Metroid Prime 3 boss fights

Metal Gear Solid 4 boss fights.

Ninja Gaiden 2 boss fights.

Stuff like that where the bosses can offer a challange or require different tactics and sty1es for each boss.

SMG was a fantastic game, but the boss fights had there flaws. Usually very easy and just propel back whatever they throw at you.

Is nuts and bolts the 3rd game in the series or is it a spinoff? From what i've read it doesn't seem like a platformer like the other ones. You have to build vehicles and stuff.. The 1st two are considered 2 of the best n64 games ever, and I'd think they'd want to live up to that?

I see it as a gimmic competition. I found Mario Galaxy a fun game to watch and play as second player but it didnt hold my attention enough for me to complete. For me the novelty of the spherical puzzles grew old fast and then I was left with very little. Banjo needs the, "build it yourself and then do it" gameplay mechanic (gimmic) to add enough to the old Banjo formula for me to stay interested. Also I think Banjo suffered from that, "lets make it dark humor for the adults" flaw. Ratchet and Clank and Kameo already gave me great standard platforming with occasional twists. Both of which I thought were better than SMG.

Too many Rare haters will take Banjo 3 apart. As if it doesn't revolutionize the platforming genre it won't be recognized as a good game, while titles like R&C, which bearly breaks the mold will roam free of accusations.

I enjoyed Bano 1 and 2 much more than Mario 64 on N64. Who knows if Rare will deliver with this new one? I hope they do, but it's all me hoping.

I'm very concerned about Banjo 3 since that Rare hasn't been doing the best job of developing for a while. This is the franchise they can't mess up. I don't care if the game doesn't revolutionize the platforming genre. I just hope that it stands strong and is a worty addition to the Banjo games which are extraordinary platformers.

Super Mario Galaxy is one of the greatest games of all time. I don't expect Banjo 3 to be even close to its standard. Of all the platformers this gen Super Mario Galaxy is an amazing experience.

I am just hopping for a good game. It does not need to be as good has Mario to be a good game. SMG is one of the best games I have ever played. I am not going to get upset if other games are not on it's level.

Its not a sequel, its a spinoff game.

They call it 'vehicle platforming' or something like that.

Yeah I doubt 360 or PS3 will ever get a platformer as good as Mario Galaxy.

Then again Wii will never get a shooter as good as COD4 or halo, or a racing game as good as Forza or GT5.

There is quite a lot of hate towards Banjo since they unveiled the vehicles. I have to admit I was looking forward to a traditional Banjo myself, but after reading about Nuts and Bolts and seeing what they are trying to do I'm really excited for it. First, off even tho they say it's %80 vehicles you can still platform on foot and get in and out of the vehicles at any time. You just have to try and create the best vehicle you think can complete a mission and get the best possible score.

This adds A LOT to the replay value of the game because you can keep going back and trying to get a better score by re-creating vehicles. The physics are what make this game very cool. When you build something it works exactly how you would expect it to work ( per all the interviews and previews). At the same time it leaves room to make something that doesn't work, and will have you use your imagination to try and figure something else out. The amount of things you can build are pretty limitless. Here's an example of how easy it is to create something. A forum member drew something and posted it and a RARE employee made his creation.

http://www.rarewitchproject.com/?id=1660

Then there's multiplayer which they haven't even really unveiled everything, but you can use your own creations in multiple game modes. Plus, there's still a lot that RARE hasn't even released yet. We will see much more during E3. I'm personally very excited for this game, regardless of what score this game gets, I can see myself have a lot of fun with it.

Banjo: nuts and bolts is barely even a platformer anymore. Hell...Even rare said it's not a true sequel to the first two banjo games.

It'll be graphically superior to SMG...and that just about it.

It'll be a decent AA game...but nowhere near galaxy.

So Mario fanboys can decide what's good and what's not?Ilived

No the bitter fanboys that are still hurting from Nintendo selling Rare determine whether this game is good or not, and it's not hard to tell what the general consensus of this game will be in November.

Even rare said it's not a true sequel to the first two banjo games.

Shinobishyguy

No, this is Banjo-Threeie.

Rare has detailed that Gruntilda explains in the game why Banjo and Kazooie are in "Nuts & Bolts" and not "Threeie".

This is a true sequel and they have wanted the vehicular aspect since the 64 days.

Yes, let's ignore the main concept of the game: the vehicles are the extension of your platforming and you can create your own moves with them.

Ok we get you're a Banjo fan. Calm down.
