It's time for another exciting edition of the too fun and too exciting Xbox 360 video game box art reveal of awesomeness reloaded! Where today, thanks to Microsoft, we bring you the official box art for Rare's Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts in all its bear, bird, nuts, bolts and wrench glory. And we'll admit, it's a pretty nicely designed box art. Our favorite Nuts and Bolts box art design decision has to be the centering of Banjo's square nose on the cover, because we have something about adorably square cartoon noses.

leaves me with a bad taste. Seems like Banjo is now a mechanic or something. They better have a demo of this game if they expect me to buy it.
I like how they made kazooie with eyelashes now. Now she looks lmore like a girl then a guy like she used to. which brings me to another point, in animation, guys dont have eyelashes and girls do while in the real world, we all have them.

Female eyelashes are more lauded and widely used as they form around the contours of the very prominent female eye shape, to the extent that many females enhance the natural contour of the eye and length of the lashes with products such as mascara and false eyelashes. Males, don't normally display their eyelashes in any fashion other than their normal length, color, and growth pattern.
Animation and other forms of characterizations reflect this real world ideal through exaggeration as it does with many facets of reality. Bold eyes / eyelashes on female characters and subdued or nonexistent eyelashes on male characters. No different than any other secondary sex characteristics and how they are portrayed in stylized recreations.
Didn't everyone think Tweety was a girl when they were growing up :P

It's missing the Rare logo. Every game Rare has developed since the Microsoft acquisition has prominently featured the Rare logo on the front cover, likewise with Bungie. Just trivial nonsense I've found worthy of a small complaint. :P
Nice box-art though, for what looks like an amazing game :)
