Nintendo wants to know who fans think the next Super Smash Bros. champion should be – and Xbox head honcho Phil Spencer is on board to make that next champion Banjo Kazooie.
In a tweet to user @PedroDarkinson, who had messaged Spencer about Banjo’s popularity in the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, the Xbox boss mentioned he’s definitely not opposed to seeing Banjo as the next champ in the popular Nintendo property:
@PedroDarkinson I think it would be cool if Banjo was in the next SSB DLC. We’ve worked with Nintendo on Rare IP before, no issues.

Spencer’s tweet was all the encouragement his followers needed to bombard him with support for the idea – at the time of this writing, the message had been retweeted 2,292 times, favorited 2,297 times, and had a long list of replies rooting for Banjo’s inclusion in the next Smash DLC.
You still have plenty of time to vote for Banjo (or any other champion you’d like to see included at the game) – the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot is open for voting until October 3, 2015.
