Banjo-Kazooie on XBLA & Stop 'n' Swop


At Microsoft's E3 press conference, Shane Kim has confirmed that we'll be seeing the original Banjo-Kazooie game available on Xbox Live Arcade. This is a perfect opportunity for new fans to discover the origins of the best video game duo in the world.

The game is being ported by an external developer, but apparently it remains faithful to the original apart from better resolution and tweaked models.

As we know from our chat with Gregg Mayles, he hinted that he had some plans for Stop 'n' Swop. Now we will finally get what we've always wanted and be able to do something with the secrets that have been sat doing nothing for years, connecting with Nuts & Bolts to unlock additional items.

According to IGN

"The game will feature slightly upgraded visuals and the long awaited "stop and swap" functionality originally promised at its release more than 10 years ago.

Many will remember that the first Banjo-Kazooie game promised to interact with Banjo-Tooie. That didn't pan out, but that feature will finally be realized on Xbox 360. By finding specific items in Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox Live Arcade, you will be able to unlock things in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts."


They are hoping to get the game released before Nuts & Bolts, but it's still pencilled in as "end of 2008"
