The challenge Grunty provided was simply too great; Argate was thinking tactically when he chose the version that could save state

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't super aggresive predictive aim like that easy to dodge by just running in circle? So the fireballs would always be aimed outside the circle you run?

The easy trick is to just reverse direction in response to the audio cue

 And that's it for Banjo-Kazooie! Since I don't yet have access to a copy of Tooie and probably won't for a little while, up next for this thread is a peek at the GBA interquel, Grunty's Revenge. As of this writing I'm not sure that we'll finish playing it, but we've got at least a good handful of content from the game to show! There may or may not be a small delay in between this video and the first one of GR, depending on how long it takes me to get around to finalizing the videos.

Yeah those cheats are seriously obnoxious, huh? Now that the game's over, this is a good time to link famous goon Cybershell's video about the game's secrets, including a full rundown of Stop 'n Swop's intended use, downfall and eventual redemption on the Xbox. He talks about some stuff in Tooie too, including important stuff like an early story beat and a couple of the transformations, so if you don't know it and want to stay pristine and unspoiled in the hopes that they put it on NSO and Argate can play it, don't watch. I mean, they just put Goldeneye on there, so it's still possible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJYrs2C967g Dabir fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Sep 13, 2022 |

It's worth noting that most of these cheats are likely debugging leftovers and weren't really intended to be entered by the player. I vaguely remember there also being some way to prevent the save deletion, I think you have to enter the code backwards or something...? Stop 'n Swop was a really neat idea and it's a shame it didn't really pan out as intended. People spent years after Banjo-Kazooie came out trying to figure out the exact machinations behind it, and of course Rare being Rare they put cheeky little references to it into other games to mess with the fanbase. I remember bits and pieces of all kinds of bizarre theories, like that you had to only collect a very specific subset of them, or that by entering the cheats they nulled their use and the only way to actually make them do something was to find a 'legit' way to get them. It's also worth noting that the Banjo-Kazooie side of the implementation is actually done and fully functional! BK will scan the N64 memory on bootup for a specific data sequence and unlock the individual locations if it finds them, and likewise writes out a data sequence intended to be read by other games that contains the set of items you have collected. No other game actually interacts with this data though, so alas, it remained only a neat idea. Also, even if you beat the game with <100 Jiggies, you don't have to re-beat the final boss to see these sequences. Grunty stays permanently defeated on a save file, the cauldron just launches you into the ending cutscene if you jump into it again.

quote:Interestingly, the magic number 0xC908C52F, when shifted right by 2, gives the ASCII string "2B1K". The orderly presence of the letters B and K suggests that this is not a coincidence, but the meaning of the numbers 2 and 1 are unclear. It's too early to be a 2 girls 1 cup reference, but I still want to say it's 2 Banjos 1 Kazooie. Because in "Banjo-Kazooie" and "Banjo-Tooie", there's two instances of "Banjo" but only one of "Kazooie".

The cheat codes are long and easy to get wrong. Without a guide they won't be found, the buttons don't even make a sound! Thanks for the fun LP of Banjo Kazooie, I cannot wait for your run of Tooie.

Do you have any plans to do the "Banjo-Kazooie: The Jiggies of Time" mod? It turns a copy of BK into... Ocarina of Time with Banjo.

I'm assuming you're also keeping up with the latest news from the Yakuza games? In case you haven't, Yakuza 8 (Like a Dragon 2) was announced along with a new Yakuza Gaiden and "Ishin" I think it was called? Judgement and Lost Judgement released on Steam for PC as well.

 Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge is a game I can most charitably describe as "the kind of game that would feature on Stop Skeletons From Fighting's Punching Weight." Its an admirable conversion of the N64 adventures to the handheld GBA that does manage to nail the feel of the 3D adventures fairly well, but it really shows how limiting the conversion from full 3D collectathon to 2D overhead platformer can be in a lot of ways. We currently don't have any plans on doing the whole game, we've done four of five worlds so we'll be seeing a good chunk of the game, but Artix realized what world 5 was and was not happy about it.

Wow, I've never seen this game. Without Kazooie's sass, it's just not the same.  Banjo did say the barbecue he'd clean. So you guys were just being mean. I thought I was free of this rhyming curse, but I guess there's another verse...

Bozzeye sounds like a fuckin henchman, not Bottles' ancestor. I have a feeling this leading to a dramatic reveal and later heel turn would actually be preferable to the way more likely truth of just having to put up with this poo poo the whole game. edited for clarity just in case, I haven't played this before Ignatius M.

I'm probably one of the few people that enjoy this game. It's not the best execution, but it delivers on its premise and its bite sized enough you can knock it out in an afternoon pretty easy. I can't believe yall are playing the vastly inferior GBA version and not the clearly superior phone version. Artix posted:You can't make me. I refuse to go back to Grunty Industries It's a single screen you wuss. That level is 90% (different Tooie level)Hailfire peaks and that other level in name only.
