Banjo-Kazooie is coming to XBLA this Wednesday, can you dig it?

Banjo-Kazooie is coming to XBLA this Wednesday, can you dig it? screenshot

Anyone who pre-ordered Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts already got early access to the Xbox LIVE Arcade port of the original Nintendo 64 classic Banjo-Kazooie, but for the rest of us, it's finally going to be made available starting on Wednesday.

Admittedly, the price of admission (1200 Microsoft Points) is kind of high for Banjo-Kazooie, but if for whatever reason you missed out on the platformer/collectathon back in the day, I'd urge you to not pass this opportunity up.

From what I hear, it's supposed to be a decent XBLA port (for once), so that should be reason enough for fans to give the game another once-over. And for those who aren't thinking of trying Banjo-Kazooie, Chad and I are going to come over to your house and harass you into playing it. No, seriously.
