Banjo-Kazooie turns 20! As we already did our Banjo-Kazooie Spotlight episode back in Season 1, let's instead focus on B-K's enduring legacy. Why does a 3D platformer released two years in the Nintendo 64's lifespan still resonate so strongly with gamers and developers today? Hyle and Jeff, as well as numerous Kongversation listeners, weigh in with their opinion!

619 - Why Banjo-Kazooie Still Matters

Let the weekly podcast from DK Vine be the anthem in your ears whether you’re on the street or feeling the Jungle Beat. In these uncertain times, you don’t want to just fight the power. You want to fight the power while playing with Nintendo Power!

It’s a regular Rarevolution as we debate current events or the lessons of history from the Donkey Kong Universe: Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Dinosaur Planet, Yooka-Laylee, Sea of Thieves, and much more. No kings. No tyrants. Just the power of the people. Oh, and we've also invited some apes, monkeys, bears, squirrels, lizards, and bats.
