9 Franchise Revivals That Could Save The Xbox One
2. Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Kazooie (yes, another Rare game because they are that damn good), holds a place in the hearts of gamers the world over. It's a charming platformer with fun characters, intuitive level design, and a cracking sense of humour. So why did we never get a traditional third entry?
Banjo's return to Xbox would mark more than just a comeback for the franchise; it's Microsoft's chance to revive two iconic mascots. Unlike many other IPs, Banjo has the legs to set up years of content, and having a triple A franchise that can be enjoyed by all ages would do wonders in creating the system seller that Xbox so desperately needs.
With Yooka-Laylee raking in over £2 million from backers alone, Microsoft would be foolish not to capitalise on an area so high in demand. It's also a genre that Sony haven't explored too heavily yet, providing Xbox with an experience that's absent on their biggest rival.
