. Where are the nuts and bolts items going to be placed in banjo arcade?

. How can you coldswap xbox live arcade games? ( the kazooie/tooie sns)

I think you can see why IGN have called it Banjo Kazooie: Stop n swop

Perhaps these new items will be in the levels that never had SNS items before? However, I kinda doubt that there will be 12 items. I think that there will be the SNS from BK to BT that was originally intended (*fangasm*), and then they will be swapped again from BT to Nuts and Bolts.

But hey, who knows. It's all speculation!

OMG!
I just had an idea.
Maybe its called B-K: SnS because B-K and B-T will be in a package together!

I doubt that BK XBLA is currently in development but BT XBLA is still just an idea. (Plus it states that BT XBLA would be coming later anyway).

There really doesn't have to be two endings, and the sandcastle codes don't have to change. We can just legally learn the codes now. And the Xbox can just read the N&B save file info to prevent the input of codes without having learned of them in N&B first, and also eliminating the need for a "swap," rather a "save the game and then open up BT." Also, don't forget that the swop could possibly go like this:

BK SNS items -> unlocked N&B items
N&B SNS items -> unlocked BT items

So they really don't have to add BK SNS items or codes or screens.

Also, I can't wait to see finally how it was actually done. Like, if you hade to go to a certain room or you just went to the sns menu......SO EXCITED

Well, 1. That is the point, so you don't guess them, and 2. you would find them out in N&B.

Also, I'm still a little sketical about the Banjo-Tooie port/SNS, but terribly excited nonetheless!

. . . I am waiting for Rare to turn around and say they're just kidding. I honestly am. After denying us SNS and teasing us for 8+ years, what reason do they have to give it to us now?

If they're not, I hate everyone that has XBLive. XD

Listen, people are saying there are going to be new SNS items...most likely there will be new SNS items in Tooie for Nuts & Bolts....and the SNS items in BK will be the same and used for Tooie
