Original N64 game to be made available on XBLA.
Speaking today at its E3 media briefing taking place at the LA Convention Centre, Microsoft has announced that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is to be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 this holiday, but didn't go as far as to pinpoint a precise date.
The Banjo-Kazooie titles are some of the most highly regarded tiles on the N64, for many rivalling the wonderful Mario 64, and Rare fans will be hoping for similar magic with this long overdue sequel.
Speaking of the N64 titles, Shane Kim announced that the original Rare platformer is to be released on XBLA later this year - good stuff.
Update: A post conference press release has now confirmed that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will be released in November.

Also 360 users can have the original banjo & kazooie which is great for me. Just need XBL now and then I'm all set.

Was half expecting the original to be made available, It's a great idea, and i'm honestly expecting Rare to do it when they release Perfect Dark 2. Anyway, can't wait for this game, looks terribly good fun :P Just like the good old days...
