Comment on Yooka-Laylee: A Patient Gamer Review
turkalino@lemmy.yachts 1 month agoIs Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts a good representation of the series?
Definitely not. While I do enjoy Nuts and Bolts, it’s like they took all the good aspects of the N64 games and thought “ok but what if cars?”.
Or is the original Banjo-Kazooie (or its sequel) so good that I should look past the age of the game and give it a go?
Definitely yes. The official N64 emulator on the Switch has Banjo Kazooie and I think it’s a great way to play it. The controls translate to a Switch Pro controller pretty well and the graphics look nice, except for the text dialogue.
RetroArch with the Mupen64-Plus Next core and the ParraLLEl plugins also run Kazooie & Tooie without issues

Thanks for the advice! Difficult controls was one of my main worries about playing such an old game, so this makes me feel a lot more comfortable. There are a lot of legendary N64 games I missed and this seems like a great place to start. Actually pretty excited!

You’re welcome, you caught me at a good time lol I’m currently playing through the series (currently on Tooie) after not touching them since childhood
Usually, the N64’s C-buttons get mapped to the Switch’s right stick, which is actually perfect for these games since they mainly control the camera and aiming
