In 2000, Banjo-Kazooie's long-time known sequel, Banjo-Tooie was released for the Nintendo 64. It introduced larger worlds, more intricate puzzles, a robust multiplayer mode, improved presentation overall, and the ability for the two heroes to split up and work independently.
In 2001, Rareware was purchased by Microsoft, leaving the Banjo-Kazooie franchise up in the air. Despite being owned by Microsoft, Rareware continued to develop Banjo-Kazooie games for handhelds in the form of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge and Banjo Pilot.
In 2006, Rareware revived the Banjo-Kazooie series with a trailer for a brand new game in the long dormant series. Aptly titled "Banjo-Threeie" by fans, the trailer later evolved into a use of vehicles and racing game elements, along with a new art style. Thus was the creation of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts for the Xbox 360. The game is scheduled for a Holiday 2008 release date of November 11.
In addition to the Xbox 360 game, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Microsoft and Rare announced that a touched up version of the first game in the series, Banjo-Kazooie, would be released for Xbox Live Arcade in December. IN addition, Rare ran a promotional event which allowed people who pre-ordered Banjo-Kanzooie: Nuts and Bolts to be able to download Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox Live Arcade early.
Banjo-Kazooie follows the adventures of Banjo the honey bear and his brash breegull friend Kazooie as they stop the plans of the witch Gruntilda. The game is a mix of platforming, puzzles, and action-adventure genres.
Originally code named "Project Dream," the game was originally designed for the Super Nintendo. The main enemy was to be a pirate named Captain Blackeye (who makes cameo appearances in both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie) who caused trouble for a youthful hero named Edison. Upon the debut of the Nintendo 64, the game was rebuilt using a modified engine of the Super Mario 64 game. The first game in the series, Banjo-Kazooie was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, following a great deal of hype.In 2000, Banjo-Kazooie's long-time known sequel, Banjo-Tooie was released for the Nintendo 64.
