E3 2019: 10 Biggest Surprises That Blew Us Away
4. Banjo Kazooie Joins Smash Bros.
Smash Bros. already has quite the roster, but for fans of Banjo Kazooie, the line-up just got even better.
Announced in a brilliantly done trailer, the two Rare characters are finally returning to a Nintendo platform, no doubt due to the newfound partnership between Microsoft - a move which sets an exciting precedent for future appearances from characters created by the beloved studio.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has since stated that the deal struck to have the pair join Smash was an easy one - meaning that fans of Rare on Nintendo should keep their eyes peeled for similar announcements from now on.
Sure, the announcement of a couple of new characters joining the Smash roster may not be the biggest reveal that Nintendo could have done, but the sheer brilliance of Banjo Kazooie returning to the publisher (if only on loan) is enough for it to make this list.
