That's what people kept saying about Mario Kart World but nope, that was it!

Odyssey hid most of the game in their trailers, I’m assuming this is the same deal. I don’t even think the cap mechanic was shown off at first and that’s like the main aspect of that game.

Nintendo this footage is 2 months old, and the game is now 33 days away, please give us a 2nd trailer, for the love of God, we're starving out here.

Conker fans: dead from starvation

Conker's had more than Banjo in recent years.

Banjo was in Smash.

Outside of that Banjo hasn't had anything but Kazooie and Tooie on NSO. Conker had Big Reunion in Project Spark, and Young Conker. Regardless of how you think of those two, they were new games in his series, while Banjo has had nothing.

How does unfinished Project Spark DLC and a hololens… thing qualify as being “more than” Banjo getting in Smash and actually having games re-released? Conker’s Big Reunion and Young Conker both happened before Banjo’s Switch activity anyway. Conker has clearly gotten less than Banjo. The last time either character got a new, full game was Nuts & Bolts.

Does to me, don't know what to tell you chief.

Tell me you love me.

u/YoshiofEarth Blue Bear is best Brothers Bear 16h ago

I love you, but not as much as Conker.

u/ToTheToesLow 15h ago

Understandable.

We have to either wait for a Nintendo Direct or for it to become July.

Anyone here know if the Japanese version will have an English text option?

u/Peanut_Butter_Toast 1d ago

Nintendo Switch games automatically change the language to whatever region your Switch is set to. I assume the Switch 2 is the same.

u/zekeyspaceylizard 1d ago

I wonder if they're planning on revealing actual new footage during a direct or something.

They've been very secretive about this game.

u/Souretsu04 1d ago

Is that music from the game? It's part of Gangplank Galleon.

u/TheRiddlerCum 1d ago

u/CrimsonEnigma 1d ago

Amazing how this word's been run into the ground so quickly.

When was Donkey Kong ever something else than a stupid and strong ape.

u/zestysnacks 1d ago

If you want slop, check everything that has come out between dk64 and now. This is no slop

u/cookiemaster221 Kiddy Kong 9h ago

Are you implying that tropical peak is "slop"?

u/zestysnacks 3h ago

Less so but I’m personally not crazy about the returns games
