Rare Teases At More Sequels in Banjo-Kazooie
Dear Rare,
Ok, I think the teasing has gone quite far enough. It was funny when you mentioned Killer Instinct 3 in your holiday card last year. I even got a chuckle out of the Killer Instinct pinatas. I never played much of the Killer Instinct games, so the teasing never really got to me. But then you had to go and do this teaser in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Battletoads and Jet Force Gemini aren't names to be tossed around lightly. I had all but given up hope for sequels to either of those games since it seemed like you had forgotten about them. But now I can see that you had been thinking about them all along and doing nothing. Why Rare, why? Is my childhood just the punchline to some joke for you?
Some actual games had better start materializing from these teasers. You know what, I'll make it easy on you. It doesn't even have to be a new game at this point. I'd even be happy with XBLA releases of Battletoads and Jet Force Gemini. But if you do decide to make sequels, I just have one simple request: please put a new, and incredibly difficult, speeder bike level in Battletoads. I haven't had a game that challenging since, well, since I last played Battletoads.
Sincerely yours,
NaviFairy
P.S. what ever happened to It's Mr Pants?

Man, I'm itching for a new KI. One I can actually own rather than having played a few times in the arcades.
Sure there was KI Gold (which I'm still hoping to see on Virtual Console), but I never had a N64.
After Stop N Swop, Rare no longer has the right to tease us like this.
