Banjo-Kazooie for XBLA priced and dated

360 News | Oh, and Tooie is coming next year.

The Xbox Live Arcade port of Rare's much-loved Nintendo 64 platformer, Banjo-Kazooie, is set to be released on the 26th of November.

If you're interested - and it certainly seems like a lot of you are - it will come at the cost of 1200 MS points. If that's a bit rich for you, all Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts pre-orders will come complete with a download code for the original free of charge. Best of all, the code will work two weeks before the game's official release on Xbox Live. Not bad.

This comes as no surprise, given that Rare is keen to push the Stop N' Swop aspect of the series, where achievements obtained in the Arcade game will unlock various features in Nuts & Bolts.

Banjo fans will be in for another treat early next year, with a Live Arcade port of Banjo-Tooie, the dubiously titled N64 sequel to the original game.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is scheduled for release in November.

Woohoo well for that price (of 70 bucks with b-k from n64 I am happy to bite.) Now if I only new if JB or Big W would do the deal (better than EB the rip off they are).

Its $69.95 at EB....I would say all the major game retailers (JB, EB, GAME etc) will have the bonus code on offer

$70? I'm totally pre-ordering that in the next month! I was kinda hesitant towards buying it because it strayed from it's origins, but at that price with Banjo Kazooie 1, I'm totaaly getting it.

At $70 Nuts and Bolts + the original is worth risking the wrath of Jibbs and the posibility of it being a good game rather than dismissing it entirely. If you were going to get the original anyway it's only $50 and if you don't like it, trade it back.

My whole reputation, nay, my whole existence rests on banjo nuts and bolts being a sub-par game.I will be shunned and hissed and booed and small children will be hushed away from my path as i slink by the internets should banjo turn out to be a great game.

But it wont.

To those tossing up tooie, don't expect it to be as great as the first either.It's a solid 'good' at best, still worthy of a run through but feels a lil underwhelming after the sheer magnificence of the first.
