Rare just dropped us a line to let us know that the second game in their bear and bird buddy game Banjo-Tooie will be hitting Xbox Live Arcade in April, with added ties to Banjo-Kazooie.
Not only with the Xbox Live Arcade version of Banjo-Tooie be a faithful recreation of the original Nintendo 64 title, 4J studios is actually making it even mo9re faithful by implementing the Stop ‘n’ Swop features that never made it into the sequel.
4J Studios have dredged the Banjo teamās collective memory and implemented the original plan for Stop ānā Swop, for the first time on any platform ever and after many long years of waiting. Without going into too much detail, the Stop ānā Swop items collected in Banjo-Kazooie will āmagicallyā appear in Tooie, resulting in… well, you’ll just have to find out. What could be cooler than that? Nothing, thatās what ā not even Kazooie turning into a dragon.
Cooler than Kazooie’s secret dragon transformation? There is no way. It must be lies.
Check out the first official screens of the Xbox Live Arcade version of Banjo-Tooie below.
