Banjo: Recompiled adds widescreen, dual-stick controls, and mod support to

TL;DR

• A new Banjo-Kazooie fan port is now available on PC, Mac, and Linux.
• Banjo: Recompiled adds widescreen support, higher framerates, better controls, mod support, and more.
• The recomp requires an original ROM of the game and contains no copyrighted assets.

The N64 decomp and recomp scene has exploded in the past year, and over the weekend, the latest release was shadowdropped out of nowhere. Despite being a fan project with no involvement from Nintendo or Microsoft (which owns Rare), the Banjo-Kazooie recompilation is fully playable on PC, Linux, and Mac, and fixes and modernizes many aspects of the classic 3D platformer.

Banjo: Recompiled is essentially a full remaster of the original game, improving frame rates and adding widescreen support for modern displays. It also enables the use of a second analog stick to control the camera, providing a much more modern control scheme than the C buttons on the N64 controller.
