E3 2008: Banjo Kazooie Classic Coming to XBLA

E3 2008: Banjo Kazooie Classic Coming to XBLA
Written Monday, July 14, 2008 by Dan Webb

Microsoft and Rare just confirmed that as a treat, old skool classic Banjo Kazooie will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade. They specifically said Arcade and not the Classics... Is this right? We'll see as time goes on.

More breaking news to follow.

Banjo Kazooie couldn't come to classics since it was an N64 game. As for Goldeneye, EA owns the Bond liscense now, so Rare is SOL.

I never normally comment on news stories, but I just can't resist on this occasion. This is absolutely amazing news!

Absolutely LOVED Banjo Kazooie as a child and the chance to re-capture that is probably the highlight of the E3 announcements for me!

Convinient because I don't have an N64. Well, I have the console, but no controllers or hook-ups, so it's useless.

Rare = Win.

A perfect way for Microsoft and Rare to introduce the Banjoo Kazooie franchie to 360 owners... Nuts & Bolts anyone?

How come collecting hundreds of items was fun on the N64, but mind-numbingly tedious now?

YES!!!!!!!!! I really hope it comes to Arcade, my brother will be furious... it'll probably have slightly enhanced visuals, but most importantly achievements... My older brother bought an N64 and Banjo Kazooie on it a few days ago.. This is great... best E3 ever.

Heh, reminds me of Soul Calibur. They just released their Dreamcast classic to XBLA before their big SC4 release later this month, and I'm guessing Rare is going to do the same thing by releasing Banjo Kazooie right before their sequel.

Very good move on both their parts IMO.

Must be the first time in my life I cannot wait for something. I keep checking the news on this everyday, hoping to see the achievents and release date. :D

Hopefully they'll release Tooie too, and maybe even Jet Force gemini!
