1 - No, it doesnt seem that likely, an entire seperate studio was hired to take on the remake of Banjo Kazooie for XBLA, not a port, a REMAKE. This isn't wii virtual console people, this is XBLA. The game has recieved alot of new, higher resolution textures, some new models, standard xbox live integration and displays natively in widescreen.

Point being, this has already been more than confirmed to be much more than a port, so given that information, its very UNLIKELY that its just a port.

2 - It's been confirmed that stop n swop integration lies between BK and Nuts and Bolts now. Newcomers to the franchise will find it confusing if Mumbo prompts you to unlock these items via Banjo Tooie.

3 - It's also been confirmed that all nintendo logos have been replaced with Microsoft Games Studio logos, so it's not strange at all that they would make other minor changes to the game.
