Leak Suggests New Banjo-Kazooie Game Is Headed To Nintendo Switch

When it comes to beloved video game characters you can’t really find any two weirdos that get more love than Banjo and Kazooie.

The odd twosome are cult classics of the previous generation of consoles, and their absence is a sore point for lots of gamers.

However, it seems that all is not lost for everyone’s favourite bird-and-bear, as a recent Amazon listing may have just leaked the reveal of a new Banjo-Kazooie title.

An Amazon Germany listing [via ComicBook] has surfaced that translates to “Banjo-Kazooie (Working Title).”

The listing is for Nintendo Switch, which has raised a few eyebrows as Microsoft owns the IP now…As always, take this leak with a pinch of salt.

Whether or not this really is a new game, a remake, a rerelease or even a mistake, remains to be seen, but here’s hoping this is really happening!

For now we’ll have to be content about the arrival of Banjo in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Again, this is something fans have been crying out for, and it’s amazing to see it’s finally happened.

Revealing the new additions to the roster during its E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo couldn’t resist another little tease at us fans.

No words can express how extremely happy, satisfied, and grateful we all are to you for including our beloved bear and bird among the pantheon of video game all-stars on the Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate roster.
