There's a bunch of news released today about the new Banjo game, which I'm eagerly anticipating. Here's some of the random tidbits:
- Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts will be released on November 14th for $40 (!). It's coming a little later than I thought but the price point is quite tasy.
- People who pre-order Nuts and Bolts at
unspecified "participating retailers" will get the XBLA release of Banjo Kazooie from the N64 (may or may not include the second game, too). Allegedly you may get the XBLA release a little early, too. Also, you can unlock content in both Nuts and Bolts and the original by purchasing and playing both by using the famous (or maybe infamous)
"Stop 'N' Swop" feature from the N64 versions.
- The XBLA releases will be coming "a few weeks after Nuts and Bolts launches," says Rare.
EDIT: Nevermind! Amazon.com has the deal for preordering Nuts and Bolts. Be cool like me (
