Everyone needs to buy this. Collectathons may have gone out of style, but this is still a fantastic game that's even better than it's predecessor.

Latest screens and trailer for Banjo-Tooie XBLA excite
You know what today is, don't you? An average, boring Wednesday. But exactly one week from now? Why that's the day Banjo-Tooie comes out on Xbox LIVE Arcade, of course. At 1200 Microsoft Points, I can understand how some of you might be hesitant to purchase the game, especially if you already own the N64 cartridge. Still, there are a couple of enticing reasons out there, like full support for Stop 'N' Swop, an improved draw distance, and a smoother frame rate. Or, if you're a competitive prick like I can be from time to time, there's always the online leaderboards to look forward to. Rare has given us a few screenshots and a trailer for Banjo-Tooie, which should bring back both the happy and painful (see: Saucer of Peril) memories. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I can't wait to play this again. I'll probably get it closer to summer break, so I have something to do. GLEEEEEEEEEE!
Everyone needs to buy this. Collectathons may have gone out of style, but this is still a fantastic game that's even better than it's predecessor. I'm hoping Amazon's XBLA store will have this for $10 instead of $15, like it's doing with Flock! I think I'll just wait until then since I could easily just play an HD version of this using Project64 on my PC. Can't wait to see how Stop n' Swop works. And this looks amazing. I'm buying both of the XBLA games and not gonna bother with Nuts & Bolts. Hopefully others do the same so we get a true B-K3. Will it have the mutliplayer modes available online? (too lazy to look it up myself)
They we're actually fun together with some friends. I really didn't like Tooie the most recent time I played it, but this trailer has got me psyched for all the things I did love about the game as a kid! I think next week i'll be downloading both this and Banjo Kazooie for the Xbox, just for Stop-n-Swap awesomeness! My curiosity requires it. I just finished Banjo Kazooie the other week and got all the Stop 'n Swop eggs, so this will be a must buy. i can't wait to play it on the xbox, just so i can get to mr patches, hear his awesome music and acctually have a chance of aiming at the patches lol 1200 points is a bit too much, how about knocking down a couple hundred points? Although the stop and swap feature is cool. I did get a vague understanding of the features thanks to game shark on the N64 version. 5:00 PM on 05.16.2013 Preview the upcoming Banjo-Kazooie SymphonyAbridged soundtracks to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie were recently released online for free, and Banjo composer Grant Kirkhope has been popping his head seemingly everywhere.
