Another fan favorite is set to join the Smash. During today’s E3 press conference, Nintendo revealed Banjo and Kazooie as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!
The news was heavily rumored over the last few weeks, leading to a plethora of fan art across social media. Things really began to amplify, however, when Microsoft put Nintendo’s press conference on their list of places you “need to be.” Banjo and Kazooie have been long demanded from fans, but Microsoft’s ownership of Rare complicated matters. The recent goodwill between Nintendo and Microsoft clearly helped set the stage for Banjo and Kazooie’s inclusion.
Naturally, Banjo and Kazooie will receive their own Amiibo, as well. Are you excited to play as the bird and bear? Let us know in the comments below!
