Microsoft today released -- and promptly pulled -- a press release via Gamerscore blog (
original link; via
TeamXbox) announcing that the
Banjo-Kazooie Nintendo 64 remake is coming "exclusively" (i.e. we're guessing no Virtual Console release) to Xbox Live Arcade on November 26 for 1200
($15). Additionally, Microsoft announced a
Banjo-Tooie remake is coming in early 2009.
Those who pre-order
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will get it
about two weeks early (the game launches just under two weeks prior on November 14). Achievements in
Banjo-Kazooie will unlock content in
Nuts and Bolts via the "Stop n Swop" mode.
We don't know why Microsoft pulled the press release, but we'll let you know when it's back up. Update: It's
back up.
