Get Jiggy with new Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts video and screens

I dunno about many of you but the more I see, the more I think I'll love this type of game - less classic platforming or not it looks & sounds like a blast. :D

For SW purposes ;) this game will move more 360's then will LBP move PS3's this holiday - Bank on it.

We got to spend a little more time behind the controls of Rare's re-invention of its Mario-esque N64 platforming series and ... it was pretty much a more polished version of what we tried out at E3. The vehicle creation element of the game is still its most endearing aspect by far, and we continue to be struck by the non-platform-game-ness of it all. (What with Kazooie being relegated to wielding a wrench and the fact that most of the game is based around purpose-built vehicles.)

It's no longer a hardcore platformer; the game instead feels skewed toward a younger (or at least wider) audience -- although we're pretty confident that series diehards will still find it enjoyable (especially the vehicle creation). We'll have multiplayer impressions next week; until then, check out these latest screens and video of wild bear-bird (or is it bird-bear?) action.

the game looks lame to me at least and theonly reason it'll move systems is becauseof stupid parents buying it for there kids, and becauseof peoples nostalgia for banjo

As for the game, looks really good to me, but I don't see it as pushing more systems than LBP, not the least important is the amount of advertisements for the two products. Sony is pushing LBP where as MS is not really pushing Banjo a whole lot anymore.

OP you wish it could sell more :P

On topic. Screens looking good, cant wait for this. I vote for longer days becuse 24 hours just isnt enough time for all the games i'll be getting soon.

I don't understand why people are still trying to compare this game to a game that came out 10 years ago. Yes we know it isn't like the old Banjo games, OBVIOUSLY!

As much as I love the N64 games, I don't think there is anything that could make me get this game.

Maybe if it was a new conker game....

OP you wish it could sell more :P

Using a single game store as your basis for who is buying games in the world is a pretty poor generalization.

This along with Fable 2 is my most anticipated game for 2008 and me no youngster, nope, not by a long shot. :cry:

Seems to me the only reason this game is even on the radar at all is because of nostalgia for Banjo and Rare. Overall this game looks ugly.

As for the game, looks really good to me, but I don't see it as pushing more systems than LBP, not the least important is the amount of advertisements for the two products. Sony is pushing LBP where as MS is not really pushing Banjo a whole lot anymore.

Now you saying Kameo is not a stand out this gen game when it comes to visuals is as wrong. :evil:

No need to die; Banjo 1&2 confirmed XBLA tiles coming soon which makes this ALL NEW Banjo that much sweeter.

This game looks incredible. I've alwasy wanted a game in which you could design machines or vehicles to deal with obstacles, and I am glad that Banjo is one of these games. I am seriesly considering a 360 for buying this game. organic_machine

Just a thought: Dead Rising, Crackdown, Lost Odyssey along with a must buy :) copy of Banjo N&B would most certainly make for a Happy, happy holiday.

Throw in a little bit of Halo, Gears & Forza and be prepared to be impressed and happy as a gamer. :)

Of course, IMHO.

Indeed, thanks a bunch Rare. :D

Oh lawwwwd...

Animal mother, how are parents being sucked into buying this when its not even out yet? How have you seen this in stores?

I don't understand, you, or the "English" that you try to speak. I dont see how parents could get sucked into buying a 360 just for this game, when the Wii is obviously in the same store, and they have seen that everywhere, and it generally, has more games focused towards younger users.diped

dude im saying that they will be, and trust, me when your writing scripts all day long, you dont care what a bunchof people thinkof youon a video game board, call me illogical, call me a moron, but i just dont have the patience to type perfectly all the time.
