>What made it a beloved classic?I don't know for sure but I'd put it to a combination of several things
>The nintendo 64 used cartridges when others moved to CDs so it didn't have nearly as many games, therefore the ones that it did have got more attention and were more likely shared as an experience by the console owners>Banjo games were made by Rare who was a 1st party nintendo developer at the time, so they got a lot of exposure and push>Rare had made a lot of big games already including the Donkey Kong Country series for the SNES which were some of the best selling SNES titles>It isn't that bad of a game, 3D platforming and collecting was still fresh and Banjo Kazooie had cute designs, funny humor to a kid and loads of places to explore and things to find and moves to unlockI don't think there is that much cruel to BK outside of the grunty questions needed for the quiz challenge and the giant difficulty jump for the final boss
