Way way back in the 1990s, things were looking really good for Rare Games. With that in mind, let’s explore the reasons as to why we’ll likely never get the Banjo Kazooie sequel Banjo-Threeie, the game that was meant to be the true three-qual to the Banjo-Kazooie franchise. Instead, it has to do with industry trends, as well as a poorly executed acquisition of Rare by Microsoft. However, the reasons that Banjo and Kazooie never starred in another game again are not quite as drama-filled as the plight of the Jingos. Aside for a poorly constructed racing game ( Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts) released 10 years after Banjo-Tooie, we’ve heard nary a peep from the second most dynamic duo in Nintendo’s history – after, of course, Mario and Luigi. Two great games in though, Banjo and his avian pal Kazooie more or less disappeared from gaming history entirely. These two iconic words – spouted from the mouth of a vaguely African witch doctor in a way that only the late 90s could get away with – defined a franchise.
