Banjo-Tooie XBLA inbound
Iggy \| 10:24 PM on 07.20.2008	14 comments

According to MundoRare Banjo-Tooie will be coming to XBLA and is being developed by 4J Studios (the studio behind the already announced Banjo-Kazooie port). Rare have already confirmed that there will be some Stop 'N' Swap features brought back to life in Banjo-Kazooie which will work alongside Nuts & Bolts, and now with Banjo-Tooie possibly in the works, the entire concept could be brought back. Lastly, according to CVG, who were able to get their hands on with the game, the BK port will retain all references to Nintendo.

EDIT: Doubly-confirmed via a 1up preview. HERE

Great news! Anyone know how they will incorporate the 6 face-buttons of the N64 controller into the 360's?

I wish each system had 6 face buttons... that was the best part of the N64's controller design.

I might just get these games, though... I hope they sell them together for some kind of discount. $10 each is a bit extreme.

Can't wait for this, even if it's a direct port

Must.. know.. about the fix... to the 6 face-buttons issue!!!!

@Def JM - what a great picture, right?

Clockwork

I never played Banjo-Tooie...

You mean I can have a not-cartridge-destroying Stop & Swop! I knew I memorized the ice key password for a good reason!

Seriously, I tried that trick as a kid on someone else's BK copies. Before I was made aware that it was removed :(

1UP confirmed this during their preview of the new Banjo game, along with the original game, so it's a little more than a mere rumor.

Sorry, I had ran it through google to check and found nothing.
Did some digging after you said that and yeh, they mentioned it in here. Either way didn't make the news on any blogs that I had noticed so still worth posting.

Just reading this, I started whistling the Banjo Kazooie theme without even knowing it.

CANNOT WAIT for the first one, the second one will be the nipples upon the nipples of the icing on the cake.

This is excellent news. Does this mean we can get that key in the ice cave finally?
