Banjo-TooieThat’s right, at X06 this week Rare announced Banjo & Kazooie are making a welcome return on Microsoft’s Xbox 360. It’s not surprising considering how many fans (including myself) there were of the Nintendo 64 games Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie. I like how the pair of platform adventurers are drawn in their latest outing. Here’s the first teaser footage of a tentatively titled Banjo Threeie.

    #18, you are totally right about microsoft being clever. they bought Rare, so all of you banjo fans who want a banjo on the wii are going to have to live with the fact that it is not gonna happen. if you love banjo so much, buy a freakin xbox 360. i have one and it has sweet games and graphics. it is way better than wii anyway.

    wow the new banjo 3ie is awesome but i really want it for wii too that would be great!

  • kevin

    i am really disapointed that i is being made for the 360 banjo kazooie and tooie are one of the best games for n64, so im not going just buy the 360 for threeie, im just hoping they make it available for the wii

    Why is everybody so irritated its coming out for the xbox 360? I personally own all three systems and find the xbox is the best of the bunch it costs less than the Ps3 has more power than the wii is well established because of it headstart and has xbox live the best online console gaming service and on top of that has more good games. But on the banjo coming to the wii or ps3 subject there is but one anwser… NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it can’t and will not microsoft owns rare outright and would not shoot themselves in the foot like that.For example someone has the recipe for the best tasting doughnut ever and you buy it from them so you can make the doughnut but they’re no longer able to make or sell this doughnut to anyone else.Would you then decide that your going to making the doughnuts and give them to the other shop so people can buy them there too so the other shop can profit off of it just to make a few favorite customers of the other shop happy? NO!! your not going to let the other shop sell YOUR doughnut your only going to sell it at your shop so everybody has to get the doughnut from you so YOU can profit from it and one else can use the recipe but YOU.This is the same idea. it doesn’t matter that banjo was originally in diddy kong racing.Banjo already had his own game and is only part of the dk universe in that game. Banjo also can’t be on the wii virtual console because Banjo is now OWNED by microsoft and Microsoft will not allow them to put there property on another game system even if Microsoft was paid it would still not be allowed because its also promoting the wii.It has more of a chance for coming out on xbox live arcade[no Xbox live arcade do not have to be simple small games that can be beat in one playthrough without saving progress: like pacman]but even this probably won’t happen because it would be hard to put an n64 game on anything but an n64 without emulating and Microsoft would have to ask nintendo if they wanted to emulate an N64 and nintendo would most likely say no.For example in the doughnut analogy would you allow the other doughnut shop to make doughnuts from the original form of the recipe you bought? NO!! If you wanted to make the old doughnuts however you probably wouldn’t be able to because only the other shop’s special oven could make the original doughnut if you asked the other shop for permission to replicate their oven what do you think they would say? They would say No!!!!!!!!!!

    Now sop WHINING and save money to get an Xbox if you like this game!!

  • Brad

    I have some advice

    For WII and PS3 fans: I am dissapointed that nintendo did not keep it as well, but times have changed so live with it.

    For XBox 360 fans:Quit yelling at the other fans about buying their own XBox, why should you care. you guys whine more than they do.

  • eliwookie

    i think its good its coming out on xbox 360 beacause the xbox is so better than the playstation

  • eliwookie

    yeah stop complaining if u dont love it that much then dont think about it

  • Andrew

    You know just because its coming out on the XBOX 360 first doesn’t mean that it won’t stay there. Loads of the rareware games have been for multi consols it might just take some time. we can’t say anything for certain about the game. Its still in its early stages
