GOLD COUNTRY - Banjo Kazooie Soundtrack Tribute Remix Album by Video Game Rapper Mode 7

Mode 7 is back and more grizzled than ever with this Banjo Kazooie tribute album! Gold Country is 23 tracks of Banjo Kazooie raps, remixes, beats, bars, and bears! Oh my!

This album is a tribute to the fans that have recently discovered the game, along with those long time lovers of the bird and bear, who remember getting the game all the way back in 1998. The album is also Mode 7’s way of looking back on his first year of live performances, along with a look at what the future holds!

From classics like the Banjo Kazooie Main Theme, and Click Clock Woods to more obscure tracks like Bad Magic Bayou from Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge, or the Golden Feather theme from Banjo-Pilot, Mode 7 mixes it all together into one cohesive album from the perspective of a rapping bear straight out of the backwoods of California!

Can you collect every collectible, and uncover every secret in GOLD COUNTRY?

Yoshi's Story's commercial is dripping with attitude

This is a commercial for 1998 N64 release Yoshi's Story, the most maligned of many maligned sequels to the classic Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Clayfighter 63 1/3 for Nintendo 64 box art review

Nintendo forcing developers to go 3D really killed momentum for the fighting genre on Nintendo consoles. Even on playstation and in the arcades, by 1997 fighting games in general had lost some of their luster. Though a decent idea for a cash grab initially. This idea is well past the expiration date for seeing decent returns. The only chance a middling game like this has is to launch on the N64, where owners were desperate to buy anything for a reasonable price. I'm actually surprised this didn't get the "Only for" N64 tag up in the top right. I guess they were still planning that PSX release when this ugly box landed on store shelves…
