Unofficial Sequel ‘Banjo-Kazooie Returns’ In Development For Nintendo 64
For many the likes of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie are the definitive 3D platformers.

Blue’s Journey
Blue’s Journey was a pretty beautiful game. In 1990, the amount of sprites it threw around, the scaling effects it used and the depth of colour on show just weren’t common.
