Impossible. Banjo 1 and Tooie will NEVER be on XBLA. Iwata to blame. You say what he did with Goldeneye 007.

Goldeneye was due to nintendo pressuring activison, they infact have no legal ground to stand on regarding goldeneye, same goes for banjo i believe. Still, i wouldn't really expect to see either Banjo 1 or Tooie come to XBLA. Don't ask me why, i just don't lol.

Great news. Too bad that nothing can be exchanged between Three and Tooie or Banjo-Kazooie 1.

Or will they?

judging by the fact that it says "The answers are coming...." i'm guessing that it'll be a complete explanation of what it was and how it was supposed to work.

Holy shit ICE KEY!!

Was it ever possible to get the ice key and the two mystery eggs in the first game without using a cheat code? I think I did, but I may have just imagined it. :lol

Aaah man, fuck that ice key. I wasted so much of my life trying to get it.

JohnTinker · Mar 31, 2008

why must you taunt us, rare?

why must you make me seriously consider using my economic stimulus money on a 360 and pre-order for this game instead of putting it in my savings

Firestorm · Mar 31, 2008

Agghhhh I want this and I want it now.

I feel like going back and playing the first two Banjos again but I think I sold them =( It's been so long.

Only way I can play them is via emulation. I've been going through BK slowly (got to Treasure Trove Cove after two months of playing), but playing with the keyboard is so damn awkward.

I'm going to play BK 1&2ie all fucking week now.

I spent dozens of hours trying to get all that secret shit.

They are batting .666 with co-op X360 games so far and we know it is being designed around multiplayer. If it doesn't have pure co-op, it should have something to satisfy friendly gamers like us.

Didn't they just add all those hidden items in Banjo-Tooie anyways?

Though I did manage to get them in BK.

I love banjo and rare, but stop and swap has always been a subject of humor for rare and considering the timing just makes me suspicious.

Even if this is the case, it means that Rare is talking and something should be coming soon.

..Yeah, I'm feeling a bit less confident after sleeping it off. Not fooled by Rare, though- first unveiled on The Rare Witch Project, no mods posting in the thread on those forums..

FFChris · Mar 31, 2008

Some keywords I found in the page source code:

jiggy, Bottles Revenge, Ice Kazooie, Blackbeard

Having not played a Banjo game before, what do any of those mean?

Not very much important. Except for Bottle's Revenge. Bottle's Revenge was locked code in Banjo-Tooie that allowed a devil Bottles that a second player controlled to follow Banjo around and occupy enemy creatures and bosses to torment his friend. You couldn't get to it in the game at all because it wasn't ever fully implemented, but there are videos on youtube of people who've dug into the code and played with it.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it in some form in the new Banjo.

MCD · Mar 31, 2008

jiggies act like the stars in super mario 64 (10 jiggies in every stage iirc)

bottles is the mole character.

Jiggy is the Banjo equivalent of a Mario 64 star.

Bottles Revenge is a hidden mode in Tooie that lets Player 2 play (Evil?) Bottles as he tortures Banjo.

Ice Kazooie and Blackbeard are from Tooie.

Bottles is a mole character in BK and BT. A jiggy had something to do with the jigsaw pieces if I recall correctly...

Blackbeard sounds like a pirate, but I have no idea what Ice Kazooie is. Would've made more sense if it was the Dragon Kazooie, one of the secrets in BT.

Edit: beaten with more accuracy.

Michan · Mar 31, 2008

It would be great if B-K3 arrived on the date of B-K's 10th anniversary.
