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.

Lets see we got jet pack that is half way decent and Banjo-Kazooie there worst platformer other than donkey kong 54, well it could have been worse it could have been grabbed by the ghoulies special edtion.
Maybe if I really have some spare time I'll try it again.
....Yeah I know I'm cheap
By the way, I never heard about the delay, so I was fucking PISSED when it didn't come out on the 26th, since I've been waiting for this for ages....
I tried playing Banjo on my N64 a few weeks ago, but my analog stick is way too fucking loose from playing Mario Party.
Chad is going to have a BEST WEEK EVER!!!!!!
GOD DAMMIT I can't wait to play this again!
Hurry up Banjo-Tooie, I wants my Stop n' Swop itemz.
Great port, possibly better than the original when I think back to the short draw distances and such. Can't wait for Banjo-Tooie, as I never got to play it as a kid.
When you are asked "have you ever seen the physical embodiment of failure?" You can say, yes, yes I have.
Just die please. We all know that you hate every n64 game in existence and damn near every rare game. So just shut up already, tired of reading your negative comments every time rare is mentioned.
You make my hours at work doing nothing when I should be work Just so much more enjoyable with your rambunkious comments and blind following of certain gammes.
I do not even get this happy when I watch a bad teen comedy films or make fun of how bad the Resident evil games are in large groups during there demos at game events to watch the demo staff and fanboys squirm.
And that was a lot of fun until gizmodo out classed us by turning off the demo TVS damn you gizmodo for your brilliance.

also Cube is really fucking annoying, can we ban him now please?
BAN CUBE!
(Speheres are where it's at anyway.)
PS: And cube, seriously man, I think people would take you much more seriously if you took the time to write coherent sentences in your posts. Just a thought.
Oh and cube, a Master Troll knows how to ellicit his desired reactions withought seeming like a two-bit raging child. Just sayin'.
