Banjo-Kazooie was one of the most anticipated platformers for the Nintendo 64, though the combination of bear and bird often cops flack for collection focused gameplay, despite being nowhere near as absurd as Donkey Kong 64 in the collection stakes.

Banjo-Kazooie was one of the finest platformers of the Nintendo 64 era, even if it is unfairly criticised for its collection focused gameplay. The game has a fairly storied development history – it originally started on the Super Nintendo as a game named Dream, starring a boy with a wooden sword who fought pirates.
