A proposed spiritual successor (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/28/ex-rare-staff-want-to-make-spiritual-successor-to-banjo-tooie/) to Rare's Nintendo 64 platformer Banjo-Kazooiehas been called off, series composer Grant Kirkhope confirmed (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/23h2s1/i_am_grant_kirkhope_composer_of_banjo_and_dk_64/cgwxvwl) in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" post this week.
"The other guys actually had a secret meeting in a pub near Rare and we even got as far as having a character drawn up and a demo level type thing but it all fell to bits .... everyone's got other jobs, etc.," Kirkhope said.
Developed by a team of ex-Rare staffers, the "Mingy Jongo" project promised to retain the detailed environments and googly-eyed characters of its N64 inspiration. The team's Twitter account went dark (https://twitter.com/MingyJongo) in December 2012, and a proposed Kickstarter project failed to materialize.
