... next year on XBLA, says Rare in this month's EDGE.

Banjo-Tooie to be released... Highfive

There's a pretty awesome Nuts and Bolts preview in the issue, too. Some teasing about Stop 'n Swop (each egg unlocked in Banjo-Kazooie XBLA will have an effect on Showdown Town, for instance), confirmation of being able to build "flying geneitalia" and not worry about being hit by the good ol' banhammer, and general praise for how well the game plays (non-believers will be having to eat a lot of crow, come November I bet). The new screens look freakin' sweet, btw. Surprised

And this is how many spacebucks it's going to cost. From CVG:

The Xbox Live Arcade re-release of N64 classic Banjo-Kazooie will be up for download from November 26, Microsoft has confirmed.

The original N64 game arrives on XBLA two weeks after 360 entry Nuts & Bolts hits the shops, sharing links to the old game through the revamped "Stop 'n' Swop mode", which unlocks new goodies in Nuts & Bolts.

It's also been revealed that -as rumoured - the massively overlooked sequel Banjo-Tooie will also be hitting Xbox Live early next year, so there's a chance for those of you who missed it to have a go.

Both games will be yours for 1200 Microsoft points (about £9). And if you don't want to pay that, the pre-order campaign - which gives you a code to download Banjo for free before Nuts & Bolts' release - is still open for business.
