BANZAI! is a modification for the game Unreal Tournament 2004.
It aims to be a simple, fun and easy to play game while bringing back the good old fashioned ’side-scroller’ gameplay. Inspired by many different side-scrolling games of old such as Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, and Megaman, BANZAI! is a hail back to the old glorious days of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming.
This however does not mean we are limiting the game to the "old school" looks. Our team works hard at creating something that's not only fun to play but also pleasing to the eye.
If you like sidescroller platform games, anime-ish looks (and perhaps even a few puzzle elements ;) )
Then this mod might be something to try out.

Team banzai has had its fair share of ups and far too many downs, due to facts most fans will already be aware of.
That being the unavoidable fact, that the original leader, Jaytwitch, disappeared off the face of the universe and has been pronounced (rightly so) "retired" by the new leader Suzumiya.
His sudden evaporation left team Banzai in a dire position, without lead nor code no progress could be taken seriously if even thought of at all, most of the team eventually wanting to stop making the mod and move on.
However, thanks to the appointing of a new leader and the arrival of the promising new programming talents Drakk Lord and Buzz, we can all move on from the disappointments of the past and move on finaly getting done what was started long ago.
"We will rise up out of the ashes as a Phoenix!"

Haha took ages to upload it, but it's here :D
Thanks to XenoAisam's handywork ^-^
Ruki, please do not impregnate the video, we will make more by ourselves, that will be all.
ahhh~ how many times i watch that video :P
Good to see things are looking up. Good luck to the team and *bows down* to the newcomers. :P
Couldn't agree more, we owe a lot to them.
Good news, Welcome to the team Drakk lord and BuZz!
dont worry! we try to find new coder~
The Leader of this mod dissapeared way back when. and nobody has really heard from him since, the mod would be going extremely well if he were still around, not only because he was/is/could be the leader, but because he was Banzai's only coder, so nothing really got done after his departure and the mod seems to be alseep.
So if anybody wonders in here things will be dead until, either
1. The leader shows himself and continues with what he promissed long ago
2. The rest of the Banzai team can find a Coder and the will to continue the mod after such great dissapointments.
Banzai - Coder = dead mod - team sanity
Banzai + Coder = exelent mod + team sanity
that will be all.
i cant help with anything =p
or can i? o.O
im not pointing it like a bad thing, im just saying >.<
and sorry about the programmer =/
To contribute I mean to speak, ask about stuff, just general stuff... not anything major...
but just appearing once a month and stating a time of inactivity on the page i find annoying...
^_^;
u know what i mean... everyones busy, and things look bad at the moment... and with almost no support from the leader or fans its very hard to keep faith as is it...
