Before I begin, let me say I edit pretty much any Nintendo or classic gaming wiki there is, under differant names, now let's look at JollyDodger! I enjoy anything involving video games really. The one exception to that is FPS's, I personally think there are too many, too similar, and too stale. Aside from that, my favorite company will always be Nintendo and the characters that we're born from them (and Rare!) While I do own all 3 of the new-gen systems, I believe that Nintendo's Wii isn't all that it's hyped up to be, and we aren't experiancing the gaming renaissance that we're being told we are, though provided, we do have a few diamonds in the rough that push the limits of creativity (think BK:N&B and LittleBigPlanet). The classics are still the best, and always will be, because you couldn't hide behind graphics to make a good game, and Mario, Link, Banjo and Kazooie and all our favorite characters from the past are perfect examples of that. I own BK, BT, and Nuts&Bolts. And yes, I enjoy Nuts and Bolts very much, it's a worthy successer to BT

Gaming Status
Banjo-Kazooie: While I haven't played it in a few years, I beat it twice, once at around 80% when I first played it, then at 100% a few years later. One of my favorite games of all-time.

Banjo-Tooie: The best of the bunch IMO, it polished up some of the very few things Banjo-Kazooie had wrong with it, and expanded the worlds 2-fold. 3 100% runs later and I still have an itch to kick Grunty's bony arse.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts: While I've only made it to the Terranium of Terror as I write this, I personally think that N&B deserve a spot in my favorite games list, while not on the same level as BT or BK, seeing my favorite characters after 8 years of quiet made me really smile, especially seeing that old hag Grunty start rhyming again. The vehicles are a bit odd, but they really let you play the game as you want it, and you can build all sorts of crazy things with all the parts.

Explanations
To explain the more interesting choices I made in the above lists, I made this section. Jolly Roger may seem like a strange choice, but when I first got Banjo-Tooie, I was young enough to look over the sexual innuendo he made in the tavern, playing it a few years later, I had a "WTF?" moment talking to him every couple seconds, seeing the way he acts in N&B makes me always laugh, and the "slightly" homosexual pirate earns a spot on the list. Trophy Thomas is an arrogant punk, Mingy and Blobby made Grunty stop her wonderful rhyming, Mr. Fit never stood out to me in Tooie, so it always made me wonder why put him in N&B. Oh, and Banjoland is my favorite world of all time, it was like riding through my childhood.
