Banjo Tooie Heads To Xbox Live Arcade

You may have noticed that we were very impressed with 4J Studios impressive conversion of Rare’s Banjo Kazooie. Well no sooner had we completed it, Rare revealed the first screenshots for the excellent sequel.

But that’s not all. For the first time ever, the Twycross-based coders have also confirmed that the fabled Stop ‘N’ Swop will now appear exactly as they had always planned when the game was first released on the N64.

Obviously those cheeky little scamps refused to divulge any further information about this amazing but of news, but needless to say it’s left as excited as a very excited person who has a special reason to be excited. There’s no firm released date yet other than “sometime in Easter” so expect further news to be drip fed over the coming months.

Now where’s Jet Force Gemini and Blast Corps eh?

Hooray, it’s nearly time to get jiggy again.

    They’re on a shelf just above my desk; in fact JFG is in my still warm N64 right now ;)

    Loved Jet Force Gemini, very overlooked with the disco dancing and typical Rare humour. A worthwhile title for any N64 owner.

    As for Blast Corps, never did complete that cruel game!
