During the Nintendo Direct for E3 2019, Nintendo announced to it will be adding yet another character(s) to the already very large roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is safe to say that these new characters will be paid DLC but we do not yet have a price point. Now see below for what will be someone’s favorite duo at myPotatoGames.
For a moment there they also had us with the silhouette and that Duck Hunt fake-out! The amazing characters that are Banjo and Kazooie “are Raring to go”. Fans have been really missing the cheeky bird and bear pair so this is most welcomed news. We haven’t been hearing much about them either since 2008 with Nuts & Bolts on the Xbox 360. Rumors were going around about a Microsoft and Nintendo collaboration and as it turns out, it’s not a Banjo-Kazooie 3 but we’ll take it for now!
Use Banjo’s brute force to punch and Kazooie’s ability to spit eggs and fart grenades. Kazooie can also be used to walk faster, jump higher, and smack people with. As for the other characters, it looks like we will be able to fight Gruntilda and The Mighty Jinjonator with a possible Gruntilda’s Lair stage.
Enjoy that along with that wonderfully catchy music, iconic Jiggies and Feathers, coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this Fall 2019. Check out our other article with more characters announced for this game here!
