- The Banjo-Kazooie series retrospective continues - this time, on the go with Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge! This Game Boy Advance platformer takes the 3D collectathon gameplay of the Nintendo 64 games and adjusts it to fit on a handheld console. It obviously can't reach the technical levels of the N64 titles, but is it still a good game in its own right? #BanjoKazooie #GruntysRevenge #SmashUltimate

What are some other handheld spinoffs of classic franchises that you enjoy?
Activision's handling of Spyro
Spyro Attack of the Rhynocs on GBA was awesome! Also Mario vs Donkey Kong was a fun little series.
I don’t really consider Grunty’s revenge. Plus handheld titles aren’t always spin offs
Wait...WHAT?!?! I am a HUGE Banjo Kazooie fan, and I definitely had an advance AND an SP as a kid. HOW DID I MISS THIS? I was literally playing Banjo Kazooie on my Xbox One this morning. This looks fucking awesome for a GBA game, the colors fit the world wonderfully! Wow.
This game is dope.. I suggest downloading an emulator to play the game
Honestly, I REALLY liked Grunty's Revenge. But I also haven't played it since I was a kid
I didn't grow up with it, but yeah, it's a solid game!
I recently started rebuilding my old Gameboy collection and picked this up, it still slaps
@@street_sharq I’ve been trying to find a copy for years. Where did you find yours?
@@joshuaridgway3230 eBay
@@kgisabeast I actually found the one I had as a kid. Unless I really need something I try to avoid online shopping. It takes the fun out of the hunt.
Insane that there was a mobile port of GBA game in 2004 lol. Anyway great video! I was always curious about this game but never checked it out. Seems like something you could knock out in an afternoon if you're bored.
You are very underrated.
Please keep up with the good work!
This was my first Banjo Kazooie game. Didn’t play the real ones till about 15 years later
I have a feeling your channel is about to start growing very quickly. These videos are just so good, especially coming from a "smaller channel". I'm particularly enjoying these Banjo series videos. Before watching this, I had never heard of the "mobile" versions of this game (which I suppose was for my own good lol), so it was really interesting to hear about them and to see some footage to get an idea of how awful they are! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words! You definitely are not missing anything good with the mobile version of Grunty's Revenge. I recommend staying as far away as possible.
Been waiting for this! Your coverage of BK and BT is wonderfully in depth.
Thanks so much!
"advance the banjo mythos" love it
I didn't even know this game existed until this video, pretty neat.
love this game. bought it new for less than 20 dollars as a kid and played it on a roadtrip.
Your channel has developed into something great 👍🏾
Thanks man! It's been fun developing it throughout the year
0:38 They almost went with activision . It could have been worse. Let that sink in....
I mean I don't know how it could have been worse in regards to Banjo. We've had one game in almost 20 years, and it has nothing to do with Banjo Kazooie. The only good thing to come of the Microsoft purchase is that they were willing to let Banjo be in Smash. Maybe that wouldn't have happened under Activision, but maybe we also would have gotten Banjo Threeie under Activision. Plus, we could still have Banjo on Nintendo consoles.
If I want to play Banjo on my Switch my only option is Yooka-Laylee.
Dude these are amazing please make more Banjo Kazooie videos
To be fair, if I was a kid that didn't bring my game boy advance when going to the dentist, I would have loved playing it on my mum's phone. Mobile phone games back then were mostly designed to pass the time. Nowadays, it can be emulated.
Yet another killer video mate. I had a bit of fun with this game back in the day but haven't gone back to it since. Good to see it get some love keep it up mate
Thanks so much man! And I definitely need to check out your Alan Wake videos at some point.
@@CloudConnection Cheers mate, always appreciate the love
Great work, you definitely need more subs!
Thank you very much!
I might hire you to narrate my life for me.
40 CAD an hour
Extremely unfair for you.
40 canadian is worth like -10 dollars USA
Why the heck is this the very first time I ever even hear of this game????
Played it as a kid and had a good time.
Can confirm. I wrote the music. ;)
Well that's unexpected
20:50 The Goldfish xD
Okay here's the funny thing for ME at least. Which is that for Breegull Bay, the 2nd level, on my very first playthrough I didn't actually find the one section which led to Kazooie on my first time through. Which made me really confused where she was when the mole for this game kept saying that I needed her to learn the next move. Which basically ended up making the game a challenge run where I learned it is impossible to unlock Gruntilda without Kazooie. There straight up just aren't enough jiggies one can get without the moves she provides. since eggs lock off so many things in the last 2 levels.
I think this is a really great channel and you deserve a lot more views. Keep making content dude!
Also, your original instinct was correct, Jamie Hughes composed the music for this game.
I mean the developers said Grunty’s revenge was canon and Main series so yeah. Despite how they ignored it in Nuts and Bolts….
Lol I remember I asked Grant Kirkhope on Twitter who was the composer of this game and he answered me but that was years ago.
This game has shot up in value.
nobody says it but this is lowkey banjo 3. Loved this game !
This game is way better than nuts and bolts and actually plays like a Banjo Kazooie game !
This game was surprisingly similar to the N64 games for a game in 2.5D
This made me think maybe rare should have picked up where they left off on dream for snes to the gba that would've been badass
Love this game
Just the fact that this game exists makes it a great game to me, there should have been more collectothon games on portable systems.
I think, for what it was at the time, it was a good game. I would put a extra world, and flesh out the moveset(for example, each of the 5 eggs in Banjo Tooie were useful for something). As for the characters and the dialogue, the problem is that you meet them for a short time to do a specific quest/jiggy, then you never see them again
Yes, microsoft buying Rare was the hardest hitting news that I heard way too late.
I think that this game should have been a pre-rendered graphic platform game as Donkey Kong was in its time, I really think that would have much better.
Are you going to do retrospectives on the Legend of Zelda series?
Where did you find the clean version of the soundtrack?
A user named BanjoFella remastered the soundtrack using the N64 Banjo-Kazooie soundfont; that's the music that was used in this video. Below is a video containing that version of the soundtrack!

This game is that fever dream rom you downloaded as a kid.
You play it. Don't even think it's real. Yet it is. Then it disappears into that dark closet in your mind.
I liked it.
Great game
Our only hope to see Grunty's Revenge: Mission Pack is stored on somebody's dad's RAZR in a shoebox in the basement somewhere. 😂
This was before ActiVision made Call of Duty...if it had been a few years later they might have bought Rare instead of Microsoft with all that money from the Call of Duty series.
And then we'd all be playing the Banjo Rejiggied Collection right now!
I played this once, and trust me is mediocre, but is one of those games fans should play, at least once
you thought banjo kazooie grunty's revenge isn't canon? heh! well, i gotta tell you......NEITHER IS NUTS AND BOLTS. if i wanted a 2000s banjo kazooie game on next gen systems, i have to recommend grunty's revenge.
Thinking about it, would you ever do a video about Viva Piñata? I know people give Rare post MS a bunch of garbage for their titles, BUT I think Viva Piñata games were genuinely something unique in the industry. Not much coverage on them
I might at some point! Never played them myself, but always been curious!
@@CloudConnection It's an experience :) genuinely one of those games that, while it does have a mission/goal, if you just play it for your own pleasure, you're gonna have a wonderful time. I loved my first playthrough, just enjoyed fiddling around with my garden to cater to aquatic creatures
Wish this game was in the XBOX One! I know its handheld
really disappointed grant kirkhope didn't do the music, it would've been a game changer
Never beat this game as a kid because i got super lost in one of the levels.
Best gba game
im just hoping for a nintendo switch remake of banjo kazooie or at least a port
Maybe its a good thing it fell from Activision with how they been and Rare would of been forced into making COD
Making Banjo Nuts and Bolts not a platformer was the big mistake.
So, am I the only one who thinks Banjo's character portrait implies he has some horrible, horrible things?
?
what about thq or midway?
As a kid this game kicked my ass, but I LOVED it
This one was suppose to be released looks like in 99 that’s when the story was written ofcorse changed a little for later one, the plans got haulted for game boy release so they released it on game boy for years later, now you’re like that’s why Grunty was all skeleton it made less sense than if ya played Tooie first now you’ll play this one in between
Why do I keep hearing the Underpants gnome song?
I am noticing unlike your take on Tooie this game utilizes I’ve eggs better? Could you comment how useful they are in this game generally as well as in comparison to Tooie?
"Pretty decent game" isnt really worth my time as an adult anymore xD
BK & BT id play any day.
Rare messed up
And rare effed up and are living on royalties
Honestly though? Grunty's Revenge is the only Banjo game i've had the interest to play through and even 100% so far. Tooie hadn't caught me and I stopped before the swamp level in Kazooie.
Go back and try Tooie again thinking it's more adventure than other 3D collectathon platformers. Like Jak and Daxter, Tooie is very open and sprawling and rewards deep understanding and exploration.
It was either this or ACTIVISION? Suddenly being bought by microsoft doesn't sound so bad.
Anyone know where I can play this game now?
On a gameboy advance
@@chesspunk489 I don't have one 😕
Your point about not faulting a handheld title for having a weaker story and characters than it’s console counterpart is a bit odd to me. How is writing limited by technology?
It's not so much the limited technology, but rather having a lesser budget compared to a full-fledged console release (especially considering Rare was technically releasing a game on a competitor's console). Not having a lot of the key players from the N64 games also didn't help.
Thats not isometric view man.
The real reason Nintendo didn't want Rare was because of childish jealousy, and Rare's childish revenge tactics.
Nintendo was upset that Rare made their first party games look primitive and inferior. Rare then began to purposely one up them and do other things to piss them off.
Finally, after Conker, Nintendo told them in a meeting "We don't need to rely on you anymore".
It started with DKC. Nintendo was furious that it made Super Mario World look primitive, so Rare decided to get revenge by omitting Donkey Kong from the sequel.
sgillman16 that’s rubbish. They showed Nintendo the tech for creating dkc and Nintendo was blown away and said go for it. I do know that they were not keen on jetforce Gemini and Conker.
Yeah, sorry but that very much sounds like bunk. Relations the 2 probably did go down over the years, but I seriously doubt it is like how you describe it.
