I miss platformers too, but keep in mind that genre DID become way too over-saturated, it was time for a break
however they've been gone long enough that I would indeed say it's time for them to make a comeback

@Stealth: That was the newer Rare in which the employees who made the original games left the company. It was just Microsoft trying to cash in on the franchise.
THIS NEEDS TO FUCKING HAPPEN.
As I kept reading, I kept getting more and more excited. Now I don't know exactly what to feel, how to react or what the fuck I should do.
I am so happy I think I'm going crazy.. ahh fuck it ill just go jerk off.

They can do it, distribute it online and off shelves. Advertise through word of mouth and try to get as much coverage for it as you can. It doesn't need to have super graphics, but make it look extremely unique(not brown mind you) and attention worthy. There's probably someone else who can recommend marketing strategies better than me so I'll stop now.
Oh man, BK is the ultimate 3D platformer. I don't even know 'what something new' means when taking about a spiritual successor... New animal(s)? I'm assuming it'll still be a 3D platformer with a growing pool of skills and tons of charm.
If they use kickstarter, I hope they're aiming for enough money to pay for licensing fees to get a console release. I really want a new great 3D platformer, but I really wasn't that experience on my big TV without having to drag my computer downstairs.

Shut up and take my money! All the money! I've never contributed to Kickstarter, but I'd kickstart the fuck out of this. I'd be willing to put down a good $60 if they'd take it.
And Unity you say? Didn't Nintendo just sign a deal with Unity? HMMM...

I loved Rare in my youth, but something happened along the way. Replaying their old classics, the only one I still like is Perfect Dark. I just do not like the Banjo games anymore.
I'm really hoping Epic Mickey 2 fills the need I've been having for a classic 3D platformer like this. I'd love to see these guys do a game, too, though.
Pretty nice, Bajo Tooie is my favorite N64 platformer, and that's saying a lot when that console had Conker, Donkey Kong and Mario.
The banjo games were a big part of my later childhood, so this has me super excited. I still liked N&B but I would do anything for that ammount of google eyed charm again.
@Stealth - it was okay, but hardly a platformer. It was BK's name slapped on a decent vehicle/plane building engine. An hour in, it's a shallow hull of races and flying around a dead set of worlds.
You obviously know nothing about it, yet that didn't stop you from trying to rebut an opinion. lawl

If there was ever a kickstarter that I would support, It would be this. I would work overtime for a whole week to pump a good amount of money into a project for them.
Man, I really do miss those N64 days. If something like good ol' Banjo-Kazooie ever comes out again, they can take all my money.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Holy Shit. If this happens....life will be complete. As stated before, the first BK is my favourite game of all time. End of. HOLY SHIT.
@Stealth...We do not talk about nuts & bolts. Damn that game was terrible.

Never played much Tooie but played the fuck out of the first game. Also played a shit load of Conker. I miss Rare 64 days so much. For some reason I didn't like Donkey Kong 64 at all. I would throw some money if they could put it on Steam.
It won't happen. BUT IT MUST
Considering how many fucking generic open world games that developers make, then fill with literally hundreds of pointless collectibles nowadays, surely the genre can once again show people how collectathons are done.

I'd rather have a spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie. Frankly, Tooie's levels were all too big for my enjoyment. And as cool as the whole "get an ability in this level so you can go back to an old one" idea is, it just led to me losing interest in the game several times. Even the latest 360 version... I gave up right after getting to Hailfire Peaks.
Nuts and Bolts was an interesting experiment, but not a great game, and certainly not what anyone wanted from Banjo-Kazooie. I'd love another platformer with that signature charm. To whom do I entrust money for this?
@CarbonRevenge
Actually, the original team members worked on Nuts & Bolts and came up with the idea of it being a vehicular simulator on their own. Microsoft supported the idea.
The last remaining original key members from Rare left and formed Starfire Studios (and released Fusion Genesis for XBLA) shortly after Peter Molyneux had the company restructed.

I've never gave money to Kickstarter, but I will give $100 to Rare if they make this happen. I might even increase it.
Banjo Tooie is my favorite game of all time. I wish this could be a proper Threeie, but I'll take whatever I can get from these guys as long as the googly eyes are around.
Now is the time for platformers to make a big comeback. I can easily say the golden days of the genre marked my favorite era of games ever. It's time for shooters to move over and share the market space.
This is AMAZING! I would love this soooo much. 3D platformers are, in my opinion, the greatest genre out there. However, they are in a huge slump right now. Sure, every once in a while we get a masterpiece like Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time or Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, but all too often this amazing genre is left to die while cookie cutter shooters are farted on to store shelves.
Few genres can be as fun as 3D Platformers. I think too many people associate the genre with kiddie games, but that isn't the case. Sure, most of the time the art style is family friendly, but the gameplay is what matters. And if you are the type of person to deny yourself an amazing game like A Crack in Time or Nuts & Bolts simply because of the art style, then you are no gamer at all.
We need a 3D Platformer revolution. We need people to put down the shooters, and pick up the 3D Platformers!!!

Hell Yeah, No games since the N64 have in my opinion gotten close to the style that made Rare's games si destinct and awesomely fun to play.
Also. We need more Stop'n Swop :)
