Footy New Beta Banjo Tease?

I was checking out the Rare Website and found theses three cards of Banjo, Kazooie & Gruntilda along with this Jinjo one found earlier this week.

SO i also found some a couple more cards while looking about the internet on Mundo Rare.
One of Gobi and one of Captain Blubber:

http://rareware.com/games/vivapinata...ds/card05.html

http://rareware.com/games/vivapinata...ds/card06.html

http://www.rarewitchproject.com/?id=1744

http://mundorare.com/news/wp-content...zooie-gobi.jpg

http://mundorare.com//news/wp-conten...ie-blubber.jpg


Now, look at the background of the cards. It appears to be concept art for the original Banjo Kazooie game!

Banjo Card: Concept art for I DONT KNOW?!?!?!?!? DISCUSS Mt. Fire Eyes? Giant's Lair? SOMETHING I FORGOT ABOUT?!

Kazooie Card: Concept art for Intro? Piccolo (Tooty) appears to be sleeping and dreaming of honey. Kinda like good ol' Pooh Bear

Grunty Card: Concept art for Grunty and Spiral Mountain, cool stuff!

Jinjo Card: Concept art for Bubble Goop Swamp, neato!

Gobi Card: Concept art for Gobi dating back to June 16th 1997 when he was just know as "Camel"

Captain Blubber Card: Concept art for what seems to be a cinematic. At the top i think it says False Ending but I could be wrong.




ALRIGHT.
Lets discuss this Banjo Card business. Whats in the background?

With the release of more Banjo themed cards, should be expect concept art of Fungus forest and more beta worlds?


DISCUSSION BEGIN!

I love the concept art no matter how badly drawn it is. Real genius right there. <3

I don't really know, but that first one sure seems a lot like Mt. Fire Eyes, now that you mention it.

Please excuse me if this is an ultra-stupid question, but... just what the hell are these card things? What do they do and what can they be used for? The news article on the main RWP page mentions having VP:TIP and a Live Vision camera, but I still can't figure it out.

EDIT: Oh Jesus how stupid am I. I just read it on the Rare main page. I'm so sorry, please forget you ever saw this post.

The first picture has some similarities to the old Giant's Lair, if you ask me.

But I'm surprised they still have old beta concept art from a game that was released 10 years ago, let alone release it 10 years later, even if it is just a background image.

Wow, that's awesome! Yay concept art! <3

And the first one looks EXACTLY like the original Giant's lair. You know the one that's shown in the spanish Beta Video?

My first thought was Mt Fire Eyes, but then i realised this could just be me wishing it was so i thought of gobi's valley. But it really doesnt seem so...

Maybe its the Giant's Lair? But the Giant's Lair was a real quick idea and was dropped quickly as well. also its got switches and paths to jump about, and if thats the outside of a hub world (Wasn't that what the Giant's Lair was?), switches seem a little odd...

BUT THIS IS SO COOL

That's really cool. It's neat to see the concept art.

I remember a while back that I made a thread about the concept art and that Rare still had it and should distribute it to the Banjo/Rare communities. We should get more concept art atleast, after all it has been more then ten years.

I think the Giant's Lair art looks like that when you beat a level, a light turns on and you get to go further up the Lair until finally to the Giant.

I'd love to but i don't own the game.
Through scanning we might just get pinata that is some how relevant to Beta Banjo.
Though could just be a Frizzly Bear named Banjo..
