	Share your ideas on what you think the next Banjo game will be about. Banjo-Threeie: A new 3D Banjo world on the X-Box 360 that closely resembles Kazooie and Tooie in platforming. Grunty is back but she has lost all her minions. So she casts a spell on the whole of Isle O' Hags and Grunty's Lairs creatures and animals to become her minions. Banjo and Kazooie must travel to the Isle O' Idiots to recruit family members of Banjo and Kazooie to help fight the evil Witch and her minions. Through out the game you will have to collect jiggies the same way in Banjo-Tooie, collect musical notes the same way and purify the Jinjos. Journeying through out the game you will encounter distant relatives of Banjo and Kazooie and you can take control of 8 different relatives of each, each with diffrerent abilites and powers and each being able to learn different moves by Bottles relatives. -------------------

	It has to be a platformer, though I don't imagine they'd altogether scrap the vehicle aspect. If they decide the vehicle idea failed, they'd more than likely scrap Banjo altogether as opposed to reverting back [and thereby admitting defeat to Nintendo's original direction of the games]. Undoubtedly, the game has to be a progression from Nuts and Bolts. It wouldn't surprise me to see Humba overtake Mumbo [as she did in Tooie as the 'transformer' shaman], which would give Mumbo some room for plot device. Being a big fan of the skull boy, I can see him sorta lazing about, after going bankrupt due to Humba's newer and improved workshop and blueprint service. Something tells me that he'd end up crashing with Banjo and Kazooie, and we'd have a nice little reference to Tooie by having Banjo, Kazooie, Bottles and Mumbo playing cards or something. Bottles would mumble something about the big Moles versus Jinjos match in some race of some sort which was coming up in the Isle O' Hags. For some reason or another Mumbo ends up getting kicked out [or leaving angrily due to a Kazooie comment xD] and with nowhere left to go, during a particularly nasty rainstorm as most good game opening movies seem to have, he would have to take shelter in Grunty's old lair in Spiral Mountain [which was underutilized in N+B]. There, he'd probably seek to have some silly fun with Banjo and Kazooie, just to show them that he shouldn't be messed with [although it would be lighthearted]. So he uses some of her ingredients and supplies, and sets some sort of spell on them, however Grunty's supplies are much stronger than he's used to, and the spell goes terribly wrong. Instead of making an image of Grunty appear in Banjo and Kazooie's house, he accidentally transports her out of LOG's factory, and Grunty wastes no time conjuring some sort of spell which would short-wire LOG so it was just between them. She would cackle some sort of rhyme, threatening Banjo and Kazooie and then disappearing off in search of something for her greatest scheme ever to get revenge on LOG, Banjo, and Kazooie. I can picture some sort of funny banter between her and Mumbo when she walks in to find him in her lair, but I imagine she'd find some other lair. From there, players would have to chase Grunty down, exploring new areas of the Isle O' Hags and finding it to be much more developed, not unlike Showdown Town, with offshoots of the main services in Showdown Town [like Boggy's Gym, Jolly Dodger and so forth] available in certain areas. There would probably be some good ol' fashion platforming mixed in with the vehicle style of the game, and it'd probably end with some sort of showdown against Grunty at the racetrack. I dunno, I just sorta figured out the opening xD;

	Please let it be a platformer with vehicle elements, not a vehicle based game with platforming elements. I don't care about the story at this point. The stories to Banjo games have never been remarkable. But please just go back to how Banjo was loved, and keep some of the vehicle elements for specific parts of the game. We don't need them for everything. Just a little. -------------------

Drago Shi WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THAT TRASH? Neoholic total posts: 10515 neopoints: 204 GameGrep pts: 1088 since: May 2007	Mar 26, 09 at 12:18pm re: Ideas for the next Banjo game?
	Whatever the next game is, it has to have something to do with the ending of Banjo Nuts and Bolts. ~~My Prediction~~ Grunty takes over L.O.G's Game Factory while L.O.G is in Hawaii with Mrs. L.O.G. Grunty starts fashioning her own game, where she defeats the Bear and Bird. Banjo,Kazooie,Mumbo,Wumba,Bottles, and the rest of the cast go into her game to stop her. Grunty isn't original, so she took bits and pieces of every 360 exclusive game. Banjo may go to a Halo Themed Level, complete with Warthog and the return of FPS Kazooie. Banjo could wear his own version of the MOLJNIR armor, and Kazooie could be Cortana themed. In order to defeat Grunty's bosses laid out around the worlds, Banjo must collect Cheato's Pages to unlock cheat codes that alter the game worlds. So, Banjo can go to these worlds, and maybe more; -Halo 3(Master Banjo!!!!) -Viva Pinata(Pinata Banjo!!!!) -Dead or Alive 4(Wumba would be playable for a short fighting minigame) -Conker(before Bad Fur Day) -Mario(loosely based on mario, but basically a parody level) And many more worlds! Also, every character could be controllable at one point. Mumbo could be used as a co-op partner, with his own wacky bird(from Banjo tooie),Wumba could be a fighter for Dead or Alive, Klungo would be the one to drive massive hand built Robots into warzones, and bottles could just give hints and solve all game related puzzles(he has the guide book for grunty's game) So basically, a game that pokes fun at EVERYTHING 360 and Rare related,and ninty related. -------------------

	I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that the Banjo series deserves a helluva lot more than just a ripoff of every other game in the market. "Let's have the final boss battle include playing Guitar Hero on Expert while doing steps to Dance Dance Revolution and shooting up kids from Japan over Xbox Live and blowing up zombies!11one!" Am I also the only person who seems to want a classic platformer where you control only one character [err, two, though Kazooie and Banjo are a unit so it doesn't count the same way]?
