Banjo-Kazooie
I’ve written specifically about Banjo-Kazooie before, but it’s worth saying again: Banjo-Kazooie has more than earned another shot at the spotlight.
Despite the fact that the series’ best years are more than a decade behind it, the titular duo have somehow persisted and even flourished as recently as last year with their appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
3D platforming fell out of favor, but is now back on the menu with the popularity and success of games like Super Mario Odyssey and A Hat in Time.
Other icons from the 90s and early 2000s such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and others have had their glory days rekindled. Banjo-Kazooie should be next up if someone at Microsoft can figure out a way to make it happen.
And no, sorry to all the Nuts & Bolts stans but it doesn’t count.
