His head looks like it's made out of two cardboard boxes glued together. His face looks ugly as sin. He hardly resembles the character as we've come to know him. I'm seriously appalled at what he looks like.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

LoL. Can someone tell me why Banjo's facial expression is totally haggard. Also, the angled features look like turd. At least Kazooie looks alright.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Can someone tell me why anyone cares about the design of this cartoon?

Also Banjo-Kazooie <3. I was all smiling and stuff until I scrolled down the screen and saw those models for both of the characters, which aren't too appealing. If this game is another 8 hour Kameo I'll pass, but otherwise the 360 has just gained major points.

Now if they will just release Senko no Ronde in english, or if they'd allow japanese games to be played on other country 360's, I'd definitely buy one.

How ya doing, buddy?

Not a fan of BANJO, but the screens don't do it justice. He looks stoned out of his mind. Go check the video.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What the fuck, Rare. Good job shitting all over my childhood again ;_;

I forgot how cheesy the voice effects were.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Those voices are awesome, what the hell are you talking about.

It's true though, Rare is pooping on my childhood. The animation style is totally retarded looking. ;_;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hahahah Banjo looks STONED OUT OF HIS MIND in that trailer. But I think Kazooie looks fine, they should tweak up the model of their Banjo though. But it's not like it really matters for anything apart from cutscenes, since it's (I assume) third person while playing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

JasonTerminator · Local time: Sep 29, 2006, 10:50 PM

I can't stand the boxy look of Banjo's snout.

I honestly hope they make him look just like the old games, because it looks terrible here.

Kazooie looks fine though, and at least the sound effects are untouched. It wouldn't be the same game without 'em.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow, you guys sure are hung up on stupid shit.

I seriously don't understand what the big deal is. Oh well, keep shakin' that fist!

KCJ506 · Sep 30, 2006, 02:42 AM

It's nice to see they're finally making Banjo-Kazooie 3, which is way overdue. I've been waiting for this ever since I beat Banjo-Tooie.

There's also talk about a new Killer Instinct game. Nice.

Now where's my new gen Battletoads game? They're making new games for the other Rare games. Why not this one?

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh shit, that's amazing news. Was there any video footage taken of the show floor or was it minimal?

I'd really like to see some dirt on the new KI game if it's out there. Gamespot and the like aren't coming up with anything reliable and/or worthwhile.

Don't you guys notice anything weird about that list? Like this:

Nothing like that was announced, as far as I know. Killer Instict is bogus too...

That is a ginormous whopper of an announcement. Totally glazed that over till you mentioned it. I haven't done much research on how much additional power is required to render from 720P -> 1080I -> and now to 1080p?

I haven't seen any 1080P imagery in person but it's supposed to be a huge leap whereas 720P-1080I not so much and even worse on some tv getups?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that the new Killer Instinct was but a rumor. X06 has begun now, and clearly there is no new KI to be seen.

Elixir · Local time: Oct 1, 2006, 07:46 PM

I just had a thought. How about a black 360 released along with, or possibly bundled with, Killer Instinct 3? Back on the SNES they released the first Killer Instinct in a black cartridge, as well as bundled with the console.

If that happens, along with Banjo Kazooie coming along, I will definitely be buying one. I've seen the black 360's and they're sexy as hell.

Grundlefield Earth · Local time: Oct 1, 2006, 11:33 AM

Why are you basing a purchase on color and a fighting game lol? It's already got a ton of decent games dude.

How ya doing, buddy?

Elixir · Local time: Oct 2, 2006, 05:50 AM

Because I'm a huge fan of Killer Instinct Gold for N64 and I'd like to see a sequel.

Of course if it doesn't have Sabrewulf in it I'm not interested. But the 360 only has Chromehounds and the upcoming Banjo Kazooie, and possibly the next Killer Instinct if it's even announced. Aside from that I can't honestly find a decent reason to buy one. Buying a console for one game is absurd, so that isn't happening either.

How ya doing, buddy?

Newbie1234 · Local time: Oct 1, 2006, 08:28 PM

When I bought the 360, I considered it as an investment. I knew I'd be buying one eventually anyway, and that I'd save only around $50-100 max if I waited a year after launch.

FELIPE NO

Um, Starcraft Ghost wasn't meant to play like the original Starcraft did. That' why people were just disregarding it and hoping for Starcraft 2 to come out, since the original was made of endless fun and awesomeness.
