[flippysam]

its one of the best games ever and now there releasing a 3rd, banjo kazooie nuts and bolts, comments?

[Greenday5136]

Yes, I am speechless about it. After waiting 8 years, we finally have information...

[milk buddy]

Hey did my post get deleted?

Well I said the I have played 1, and 2 and can't wait for 3.

[Conker]

I never have played a Banjo Kazooie game but i hear they are very good games.

They're both coming to XBLA because of the 3rd's release. You can try them then, with better graphics.

[Happlecot]

The original game is the only one I've ever played. What system is the new one for? I'm guessing the Wii

No, Xbox 360, Rare (the developer) was bought by Microsoft a long time ago.

I loved that game. There was this one part where I could never pass. All in all, it was a hard but fun game. I can't wait for the new one.

There were some cheats for it via the sand castle in Treasure Trove Cove. I used them when I got stuck.

Microsoft's ownership of Rareware is the reason why their Nintendo franchise games are not being released on Microsoft owned consoles. Goldeneye 007 was rumored to be released on Live Arcade, and again on the Virtual Console, but because Rare is no longer affiliated with Nintendo they could not agree on a proper release for the game and it probably won't be released on either arcade. I'm afraid the same goes for the original Perfect Dark and more than likely Banjo Kazooie as well. It would be really nice to have BK in XBLA though.

I'd nail those achievements like nobody's business. Last time I played was a few years ago but I was able to clear the game 100% (with the 6 eggs and Ice Key) in about 9 hours.

[Greenday5136]

Viva Pinata and Kameo releases were awesome, though...
...and I'm sure BKN&B will be great. Hands-On reviews of BKN&B's Banjo Land level (level made up from parts of the old worlds) have pretty much confirmed that it will be great. After I watched the review from Ken Lobb, I was amazed...
(fat banjo ftw)

If Goldeneye came out on XBLA, id buy it as soon as it came out. The achivments would be so easy on 007, I could get them real quick. I have 12 or so levals beat on 00 Agent already. I played a demo of the newer Perfect Dark and it sucked eggs.

I belive the part I could never pass in BK is the Egypt place.

I'd tear up the joint in Goldeneye 007 as well, I played the heck out of that game when it came out.

I'm glad to hear that BK is coming out though, between this and Vigilante 8 III I have a lot to be excited for. :D

I know that Nintendo had an agreement with Microsoft to release BK on XBLA...
Maybe it might have something to do with Goldeneye...?

Vigilante is coming back? Man, I tore that game up on the N64. It was one of my favorite games. I miss that game. The PS1 V8 sucked. I sure would liek to play you sometime and kick you butt.

Luxoflux was re-created as Isopod Labs and they're working on Vigilante 8 Arcade, set to be released in the fall. It combines players and levels from the first two games (plus story mode, etc) and also has newer levels and stuff too.

Oddly enough I preferred the PS1 versions.

[Greenday5136]

Stop 'n Swop is returning, it's confirmed. I just wonder how it will work on the 360...

[Puppy Love64]

Ken Lobb

Lol, Klobb, worst gun on Goldeneye. Im going to download the demo before I go buy it. But it seems fun enough that I might just go buy it.

[Aero]

Yeah. Its an awesome game. My best time is 4:3x:xx. (OH YEAH). Infact,I go to a website that has a forum that is BASED around Banjo-Kazooie. :P

...we may never find out stop n swops true purpouse...

I do too. :P
We might find out soon...

[Dracophile]

Since I plan on getting it the day it comes out, we should have a contest to see who can beat it the fastest and get all of the achievements. I'm in. :)

I'm also in. I wonder if the sand castle codes for SNS will be changed...
EDIT: Thinking about SNS

[Dracophile]

No cheatin' butthead. :shout:

[Puppy Love64]

I might get it when it comes out. It depends if I have any money with me. Can you get it for me RFS?:P You seem to have tons of money.

While I do have "tons of moneys" I can't afford to be giving out free games. I'm fairly certain with the caliber of quality Banjo Kazooie has it might be one of those $15 or $20 XBLA downloads. I hope not though, I'm hoping for $10 (since Vigilante 8 III will be $10).

Banjo-Tooie has been confirmed, also.
At least they're both coming close to Xmas.

EDIT: When I said that I meant the codes for SnS...
Might be an achievement...

Ive never played Banjo Tooie, is it better or worst than the original?

[Greenday5136]

Oh man, it is 5x better in my opinion. Banjo and Kazooie can even split up.
There's even a FPS multiplayer. ^_^

I know, that's what I meant too, don't be usin' the Sandcastle to make cheats. :P

If Stop N Swap is supposed to be a function I think they'd try to incorporate it into play instead of hiding it behind codes.

I was thinking Tooie would tell the codes and you would use them in the sand castle...
meh, I guess there might be another way.

Sounds cool. So is the plot the same in Banjo-Kazooie? The witch takes something, and they have to get it back. (I think)

No, that's Grunty's Revenge for the GBA. In Banjo-Tooie, Grunty has been trapped under a rock for 2 years, and is just a skeleton. She tries to get her body back by zombifying everything in Isle O' Hags, so Banjo and Kazooie try to stop her.
