Not all great and iconic platformer games come from Nintendo. Many beloved and popular titles have their origins outside of the Japanese company’s universe. On this occasion, we’re focusing on a representative and unforgettable saga from the late 1990s.
Banjo-Kazooie celebrates 27 years since its release, which took place on June 29, 1998, on the now-defunct but still remembered Nintendo 64. That’s why we want to start the week with joy by reviewing the games in this franchise that are available on Xbox Game Pass.
Banjo and Kazooie all week with Xbox Game Pass
There’s nothing better than having an active subscription to Xbox Game Pass, as it allows you to enjoy both new releases and unforgettable classics. This week, we’re dedicating it to celebrating the legacy of Banjo-Kazooie with the games available on the service.
Monday and Tuesday with the first Banjo-Kazooie
If Super Mario 64 didn’t exist, Banjo-Kazooie would probably be considered the best pioneer of the 3D platformer genre. It’s proof that, beyond Mario and Nintendo, other studios also knew how to make history. A grand and legendary game.
Wednesday and Thursday with its sequel Banjo-Tooie
Sequels often live in the shadow of the original, but Rare proved they knew what they were doing. Banjo-Tooie raised the bar with a release that offered the best of this new IP: overflowing quality in all its aspects. A rounded and wonderful platformer.
Friday with the return in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Many dreamed of a grand return, but Nuts & Bolts wasn’t exactly what fans expected. It’s not a bad game, but its departure from the classic formula, especially in gameplay, took its toll. Still, it’s an interesting release that deserves a chance.
These gems are available on Xbox Game Pass. Grab your controller, choose your favorite, and immerse yourself in hours of fun to celebrate these 27 years of history with Banjo and Kazooie.
