Banjo-Kazooie
Putting Banjo and Kazooie in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was a no-brainer, but I’m always wary of companies cashing in on a beloved franchise with zero commitment. It’s been 16 years since the last Banjo-Kazooie game, and even that wasn’t the platformer fans have been asking for since Banjo-Tooie in 2000. The company is busy with Sea of Thieves these days, but if Microsoft has enough money to acquire a bunch of studios then promptly gut them and shut them down, it could instead nurture the IP and talent it already has. — Kenneth Shepard
