Grant Kirkhope, the composer of the Donkey Kong 64 rap (and a bunch of other things), has taken to X/Twitter to vent about the possibility of a new Banjo game. Not only does the composer say he thinks a sequel will never happen, but he also believes fans would hate it if it did happen.
I think Grant is being a bit negative here. I do think a new game will happen at some point, but probably not in our lifetime.
…
Okay, so I’m not exactly that much more positive about the situation. Things are dire in the way of Banjo news.
Still, he’s right about people being negative about everything. That’s sort of what people are good at doing.
Grant later issued an apology for the tweet/post/whatever:
What do you think? Will a new Banjo-Kazooie game ever release? Would people hate it? Let me know in the comments down below.
Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel are available now on Nintendo Switch Online’s paid NSO + Expansion Pack service. For more on Nintendo 64, click here.
