Microsoft has revealed to 1UP that the public release of Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox LIVE Arcade has been put back by a week; the game will now make its debut on December 3.

The delay means that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts pre-orderers who got their hands on a special Banjo-Kazooie XBLA code can enjoy a three week exclusive period over the rest of the Xbox 360 user base.

No reason for the delay has been given.

Banjo-Kazooie will be available to all Xbox LIVE members from December 3, 2008, priced 1200 MS Points. Fans will be able to get their hands on the second game in the series, Banjo-Tooie, early in 2009.
