 | XBLA Reminder: Banjo-Kazooie Written Monday, December 01, 2008 By Alan Pettit View author's profile |
After its week delay, which I can only assume was done to make sure something released this week instead of two last week and nothing this week, the N64 classic Banjo-Kazooie will be available to the public on Wednesday for 1200MSP ($15). | |

| I really think it is worth the $15 - got it free with the new Banjo and I got the 200G on this before I even opened the new one! | ||

| its a great game and I got it for free with nuts and bolts but i would not spend 15 bucks on it cause most people already have it on their 64 still I know I do. Go get netflicks for that price | ||

| This game is better than ever. I got it for free a few weeks ago for preordering Nuts and Bolts, and it's fantastic. The updated and sharpened graphics are worth the price of admission alone. The game actually IS a bit easier due to the fact that musical notes and jinjos that you collect do not reset when you die or leave a level. I'd strongly recommend this game to everyone. Achievements are rather easy to get too. | ||

| This is easily my most favorite game of all time, and I think it is well worth the money. For everybody who hasn't played this game yet, I highly recommend you do. It's money well spent. | ||

| I can say that for $12, this port definitely is not worth it. The game still holds up, but the port is really bad. | ||

| The reason for pushing the game back a week was to make it fair to those who pre-ordered the game, and then didn't receive their code until after the game came out, as part of the pre-order bonus was getting it a few weeks early. Thats what they said on 1up.com, anyway. Anyway, I can't wait for this to come out, as I am a giant fan of the original game. | ||

| ^whoa, that was extremely poorly written. I'll just link the article. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171407 "Microsoft notes that this move 'extends the exclusive window for our preorder customers another week.' Here's hoping those customers can get the code they need to enjoy that extra week." | ||

| So much for my extra week of having the free game. I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I enjoyed that time period because it's the first time I got something before a lot of people did. Most of the time it's the other way around. I'm practically a newbie to Xbox, Halo, and all that compared to all my friends. I will say that, though the price is steep, it's worth it. The game, though now with better graphics and non-resetting levels, is still as fun as I remember. I get nostalgic going through each level and learning all the moves I love. In fact, in a few days once some of my college assignments are done, I'm gonna go back and continue playing. With finals around the corner, I had no chance to beat the game in one sitting. Once all that crap is done, I'm knocking out the game and it | ||

| I got it with Nuts and Bolts and I think the price is a little steep for what it is. Plus the port is bad, the framerate drops way way way too often. Fun for the nostalgic, others will question what the fuss is about, though. | ||

| I'll probably wait until there is a price drop to buy it. I don't feel like spending 1200 MSP on it. | ||

| I definitely picked up one of the free download cards you get for preordering. Except I got it for pre-ordering Street Fighter IV. I think I win either way. And yeah, if you think about it, top 3 adventure games on 64 (in no particular order) were clearly Banjo Kazooie, Super Mario 64, and Donkey Kong 64. Clearly only 1 of those three could have POSSIBLY been an arcade title. Of course I'm nearly positive that if they ever released Goldeneye or even Perfect Dark on XBLA it'd make more money than most retail titles. Can't believe those savages are holding out on us. | ||

| Ouch, $15 is almost half the price of Nuts & Bolts...granted, judging from the N&B demo, the original is at least 250% better anyway. | ||

| Now that this one was out, I'm excited that Banjo-Tooie will be next year sometime! This game is definitely worth the $15! It's an all around great game and brought back many great memories of the N64 days. | ||
