BK Nostalgia64 Finally Releases This Month

BK Nostalgia64 Finally Releases This Month

If you're into Banjo-Kazooie as much as me, then you'll no doubt have been following KurkoMods' progress on the eagerly anticipated BK Nostalgia64 mod, a game that we first got a sneak peek at through the Banjo-Kazooie: Stay at Home mod Mark released during the Covid19 global lockdown. Well, the finished article is finally arriving this month, with early access arriving on May 7th for Mark's Patreon subscribers and a public release coming on May 17th.

Based on nostalgic N64 moments over the years and with worlds from classic games making a cameo appearance, it's going to be the ultimate Banjo-Kazooie game for retro gamers like me to sink their teeth into. Ok, it might not beat the majesty of Jiggies of Time, but I think it's going to be a close second.

And the best part is that if you have an Everdrive cart, it will actually work on your N64 console alongside your original controller for those old-school RARE vibes. I'm a big fan of Mark Kurko's work and am excited to put this game through its paces when it releases in a few days. If you're looking to get hold of the early access, then make sure to join Mark on Patreon to get the game on May 7th!
