I personally love Tooie, probably more than Kazooie. It was one of my favorite games as a kid and every time I boot it up it awakens this beautiful childhood nostalgia. I appreciate that this review points out the flaws but maintains that the game is still excellent. I feel like a lot of people are down on Tooie because it’s not Kazooie. It’s not Kazooie, but it is still an amazing game.
It’s also that Tooie was a prototype open world game and we saw an explosion of true open world games once the hardware was strong enough to support them. I still prefer Tooie over Kazooie but Kazooie holds up better today because it is still relatively unique.
As a kid, I always loved Tooie more than Kazooie, bigger maps, more power-ups, a LOT more mini-games, abilities, things to collect, the overworld, story, everything is way bigger AND you get to play as Mumbo! Which kid wouldn't say this game is better? I never really replayed them until 5 years ago, and I didn't understand why everyone would say Kazooie is better than Tooie. That is, until I replayed them back-to-back. And it comes down to a simple fact for me, the pacing. Sure, maps are bigger but then everything takes longer to do. Collecting is not as much fun and maps feel quite a bit emptier. I guess I just don't have the patience I had as a kid playing through the game. But I still remember having fun playing it, even 5 years ago. Maybe I'll give it another go.
@thierrymercure I personally don't agree it's better I love em both but prefer the first one by a length tooie proved to me bigger isn't always better
@@samuelstevens3438 what don't you agree with? I don't understand your comment 😅 I never said the second one was better. Maybe you missed the bottom part of my comment.
The original NSO N64 trailer promised that Diddy Kong Racing was coming, but it's still not here. Edit: I rewatched the launch trailer. I must have confused it with Banjo Kazooie in the "Coming Soon" section.
Never understood these, “its too much,” complaints. Like with DK 64. Back then, especially being a kid, not everyone could afford new games left and right. So to have MORE of Banjo Kazooie (Bigger maps) was a great thing. You can spend MORE time with the game and exploring. lol
It's not just a matter of "is it worth my money" but also "is it worth my time." You can't really have too much of a good thing but if an idea is outstaying its welcome but is still necessary to play a lot longer with before you get to some more interesting parts that's a problem.
@@madguitar1086 BS. Banjo-Tooie was a focused hybrid of Banjo-Kazooie, Ocarina of Time-esque adventure games, and a Metroidvania, with way more meaningful gameplay and way less tedious collecting than B-K had. Just look at how much more streamlined the collecting is in Tooie compared to Kazooie, where you’re picking up over 100 individual floating objects off the ground and calling it a day. There’s so much more meat to Tooie as a game, it’s insane, and it cut way down on the collecting elements of Kazooie and DK64. It’s a better game than both those titles, honestly.
@@codyaaron3371 its not, the xbox version also has an issue with crashing and random stuttering at parts the OG wouldnt The NSO version i have yet to have an issue like that and it feels smoother. About as close as emulation (which i guess this technically is)
I loved the linked areas as a kid since my one big gripe was having to get all 100 notes in a single go so knowing that I could leave at any point, go explore, and then come back if I was having a hard time with something was SO NICE. I'm also a big Grunty Industries apologist though, LOLOLOLOL
The only downside to Tooie is, because the maps are so big, you'll sometimes have to just walk from one point to another with nothing to entertain you. I don't remember how much I utilized the teleport pads when I was younger, but yeah, sometimes you just gotta make a long hike to a different part of the map. Otherwise, Tooie is utterly amazing. Same fantastic atmosphere and music. Every ability from before PLUS MORE on top of it--including but not limited to being able to split up Banjo and Kazooie with their own movesets, and the FPS sections. Yes really.
When Banjo-Tooie first came out, it was a must-play, especially if you were around 9 or 10 years old and there weren’t a ton of other games around. At the time, it felt like a big deal. But looking back now, I’m not sure I’d pick it over other options out there. It’s a lot tougher than the first game, and I remember when I played it on the Xbox 360, I hit a point where I had to take a break. When I came back, I was completely lost-I had no clue what I was supposed to be doing, where to go, or even which Jiggies I’d already picked up. Banjo-Tooie is one of those games you really need to play straight through, unlike the first game, which is smaller and more straightforward. Despite that, I still think Banjo-Tooie is an awesome game overall; it just has a world you can easily get turned around in.
@@JSwag_Reviews mad respect. I know I am not qualified to beat it in 3-4 days right now. My memory is terrible haha. Hey TH-cam! listen to this guy's opinion ^^ for reals though.
Yeah if you already HAVE the expansion, I guess the question isn't should you get it (cuz you already have it) it's should you PLAY it, and Yes, in fact it'll be a lot easier with save states.
How is it that I did not know these great news before?😭😭😭 I played this one originally on my childhood. Did not play the 1st one until I was a grown up so all my nostalgic feelings are with this game. I was hesitant that they were ever going to re-release it. Can't wait to play it asap ❤
It still sucks whenever they release these ports they never fix old issue that those Caray(?) Canary races that just suck so much! Or in the case of Spectrobes: Origins, that volcano permanent door softlock which happens if like a veteran gamer you go back to save before the obvious boss room... still haven't finished that too much trouble. 😅
Welcome back Alex! Fun bumping into you twice overseas in two completely different areas! Great review, I think it's about time I try Tooie, after putting it off for so many years.
I didn't actually, I was pretty bad at videogames as a kid. By the time I was good enough to even make it to that level I learned how to button mash. The only thing was my stamina didn't last so i had to cheese it by pausing.
Love Tooie so much. It’s well made and beautiful. The underwater Atlantis segment is beautiful with Grants music, the mumbo magic music is childhood, and the writing and character relationships are still fresh I highly say play this game on whatever you have it on it’s that good! Or get it on something this could right now as of now be the definitive edition? Idk I heard it’s tougher to tip toe than Xbox?
"Is this game that's free with nso worth it?" seems a silly question to ask. Anyhow, I personally like this game better than BK, and I liked BK a whole lot. I think a lot of people look at collect-a-thon games like Banjo as "Checklist games" where you just get everything and move on to the next level, and BT isn't that. It's an Adventure game with lots of back tracking, trying to get everything and play the game in a linear order is going to sour your experience.
The original is in my top 5 of all time. I want to like Tooie so much, there's so much i like, but i wish they added a map. They added so many other things. A map would have helped.
Dear Alexy Olney sir. I would love to say first off never played this game and I look forward to it, so this video review is VERY appreciated!(I somehow MISSED Banjo-Tooie despite having played Kazooie A LOT) Secondly I would love to see as a talking point from you guys on Nintendo Life. What games do you think are missing from N64 that could be added to NSO? I think well DK 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Conker's Bad Fur Day, The Original Smash Brothers(somehow it's not been added to NSO) And lastly a def exclusive and fun little Duke Nukem game, Duke Nukem: Zero Hour. So that's like 4-5 games for N64 at the least!
Good review! I enjoyed this game as a kid and it definitely is a good game. Although, I still prefer Banjo-Kazooie. Kazooie just was had great pacing and everything felt like it had a purpose. I think Tooie does take some of the good elements of Kazooie, but overall complicates things with extra stuff that doesn't add any value. There is a lot to do in Tooie, but it definitely feels like there is quite a bit of bloat and the pacing grinds to a halt with certain Jiggies. It has a lot to and see, but some of it feels like extra padding for no reason. Some of the new moves just feel gratuitous and aren't useful outside being a requirement for a few Jiggies. All in all, it's a good game, but not quite as balanced as the original.
The borders around the screen might bother some, but I’m just excited not to have the dotted borders for NSO, plus finally being able to play this game in Widescreen. I always messed with the setting as a kid but we only had a 4:9 CRT lol
Yeah, while out of the 9 worlds Kazooie has only 6 bosses, 3 if you don't count enemy rushes, the final 7th/4th boss is the only one who can match with Tooie's bosses
Their was something special about playing these 3D platformers as a child. It fueled the imagination! Shout out to those that had bizarre dreams thanks to these games too😅😅
@@Gatorboy5678 have indeed. I commented during watching it as i caught it just as it came out. Besides Alex always does the loveliest reviews for us lovely people. Missed the N64 era so i'll catch up on it. Having the mechanics from the first game in here from the off will definately help get adjusted which is nice :)
Be warned, it's very easy to get lost in Tooie compared to the original. Making it tricky to recommend to beginners. However if love to explore want to fight epic bosses, this game will not disappoint.
I think this is a fantastic game but I will always love kazooie more because you can finish the levels without the constant backtracking outside of 1 jiggy the entire game. I remember being completely puzzled playing tooie for the 1st time and wasn’t able to 100% level one 😅 In my opinion, not letting me collect everything in a collecthathon due to restrictions takes away from the experience.
having both Banjo games on a console that lets you switch games without powering the console down just screams Stop'n'Swop to me. wasted potential right there.
@@jkmovin totally agreed, it is a more recent thing. I believe the other one that really stood out to me was the Emio: The Smiling Man review. It sounded as though the reviewer thoroughly disliked the game, nitpicking at minor gripes like English language support, but the score ended up being fairly good. In neither case does the given score track where I would have put it, but it's odd that this keeps happening.
Tooie is better in every single way. Try to back to Kazooie, the wolrds seems so small. People nowadays cant play a game without a map showing where to go
i finished kazooie in 2014 never played it my whole life until then, was so excited to play tooie i LOVED kazooie and this is so long after the release no nostalgia attached. I couldnt play tooie, like 30 min in the gameplay was so slow and annoying I quit. The frame rate isnt even just what im talking about its the actual objectives are tedius and slow i took control of a big statue and was moving so slow i turned the game off
Back in the day Banjo-Kazooie (Tooie) were my favourites games ever.A fully realized world with gameplay that worked. The soundtrack was beautifull. It was trully a magical experience. When I played Banjo-Kazooie the 1st time, I couldn't get over how stunning the game was. A magical experience I will never forget thanks to the geniuses at Rare. Even Super Mario 64 didn't gave me such a exciting feeling. Super Mario 64 was.... dare I tell it :s? It was a dissapointment. The media had overhyped that game and I expected the world. When I finally played it, the game felt incomplete. It was all blocky and the world didn't feel as organic as it should be. It felt like Nintendo had thrown some blocks in into the game world and called it a day.and if that wasn't bad enough, the music was so repetitive and annoying. It was Rareware who made the N64 such a powerhouse. That being said, I have the Banjo games for years on my Steam Deck and they look and play better than the N64 1 and even the Switch could but the magic is gone. It feels outdated nod. And yes, I had them allready for years on the Steam Deck. As a child Nintendo was asking ridiculous prices here in Belgium. 3500 Bef for 1 game ($94). That's a whoooole lot of money for a kid back in the 90's! I payed for them and whatever Nintendo says, I own them forever on the device I choose. I'm not paying st*pid prices for a st*pid subscription. Nintendo is a scammy company and they only see their customers as moneypigs.🤮

Banjo kazooie and Tooie are my favourite games of all time. Ocarina of time is my second followed by link to the past and then illusion of Gaia
Banjo Tooie is such an amazing sequel to an already amazing game.
I accidentally had the video playing at 2x speed and just fully accepted that it was a Banjo related bit and went with it
Grunty's Gruesome sisters Zeon and Fi--- *test pattern*
I have no idea what that screw up is referencing
I love RARE of the era. banjo Tooie was in my top three games of the N64
Is this the version with that XBOX feature that tried to sorta add what the 64DD would have done, slightly different than the N64 versions?
Nope, just a straight-up emulation of the N64 version
I hope Conker is the next game.

Why there's no proper release of this game other than been behind a pay wall subscription? A remaster not a remake would be great.
Only negative I've got for my most recent playthrough is the atrocious camera.

Yes. Yes it is. Don't even bother watching the video, it's 100% worth jt
Should a have used the Xbox hd verisons.
Heck yes it is!!!!
Banjo tooie is only better because there are less water levels.
This game disappointed me a lot back in the day. The original just has much better level design and themes, and much less medium imo.
Totally worth it 🎉

is a free game worth it? hmm
Why don't you guys make new reviews for these NSO games instead of reusing old reviews?
Also they gave it a 9 out of 10!! You can thank me in advance!
i finished kazooie in 2014 never played it my whole life until then, was so excited to play tooie i LOVED kazooie and this is so long after the release no nostalgia attached. I couldnt play tooie, like 30 min in the gameplay was so slow and annoying I quit. The frame rate isnt even just what im talking about its the actual objectives are tedius and slow i took control of a big statue and was moving so slow i turned the game off
Is this footage taken from the Switch version? It looks terrible compared to the Xbox release.
Yes, it's a faithful port, not a remaster, just like the other N64 NSO titles.
These games were meant to be played on a CRT, the raw output is always going to look bad
Back in the day Banjo-Kazooie (Tooie) were my favourites games ever.A fully realized world with gameplay that worked. The soundtrack was beautifull. It was trully a magical experience. When I played Banjo-Kazooie the 1st time, I couldn't get over how stunning the game was. A magical experience I will never forget thanks to the geniuses at Rare. Even Super Mario 64 didn't gave me such a exciting feeling. Super Mario 64 was.... dare I tell it :s? It was a dissapointment. The media had overhyped that game and I expected the world. When I finally played it, the game felt incomplete. It was all blocky and the world didn't feel as organic as it should be. It felt like Nintendo had thrown some blocks in into the game world and called it a day.and if that wasn't bad enough, the music was so repetitive and annoying. It was Rareware who made the N64 such a powerhouse. That being said, I have the Banjo games for years on my Steam Deck and they look and play better than the N64 1 and even the Switch could but the magic is gone. It feels outdated nod. And yes, I had them allready for years on the Steam Deck. As a child Nintendo was asking ridiculous prices here in Belgium. 3500 Bef for 1 game ($94). That's a whoooole lot of money for a kid back in the 90's! I payed for them and whatever Nintendo says, I own them forever on the device I choose. I'm not paying st*pid prices for a st*pid subscription. Nintendo is a scammy company and they only see their customers as moneypigs.🤮
the magic is probably gone because you're ruining it by playing on a Deck lol
@@Professor_Utonium_ It runs better on Stem Deck than it ever will on a Nintendo console.
@@a.n.3284 It plays just fine on N64 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hate how they say "me" .. say "Yours Truly"
What if they're not yours, huh? Then it wouldn't be truly at all.
this game should be on Nintendo 64 online instead of selling it
Maybe Microsoft wants their cut, after owning/buying/absorbing(?) RARE...? or maybe something else, agreed would be nice to be included though!
Ah? It was added to the Switch Online N64 catalog yesterday...
Wait is there a purchasable version of this game? Cause I'd rather get that than use the N64 service.
It is. I haven't seen it for sale elsewhere
Sonic x Shadow????
Worth what? It's free
Time, the most expensive commodity
Is a free game worth it? What a difficult question
Does this really need a review?
Why don’t u give ratings
They did. 9/10.
