Spoilers:
At the end of Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts you can see Battletoads 2010 in the background and there are several references to KI3,I even heard Bottles is gonna be on it (Instant buy if true).
Although you can also see Viva Piñata Kart and Grabbed by the Ghoullies 2 as well (Weird,not PD references at all but Banjo's Suit could be a reference to Goldeneye)

Perhaps you should pay a bit more attention to what Mr. LOG was saying. He tells you that they're actually making sequels to ALL Rare games, including Jet Force Jemini and Killer Instinct, but then goes on to mention a sequel to Ghoulies and then says and then jokes about how you'll never believe him now.
It was obviously intended as nothing more than a joke. Rare have been teasing us for years about KI3, and it's no more likely to happen now than it was then.

This reminds me of the blizzard "glacier" fiasco before the announcement of diablo III.

Because there is the color blue in the photo?
I see no more similarities other than that.

Moreso the finding of "hidden" messages by connecting the stars. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Clever, but not the conclusive evidence I'm looking for before REALLY getting my hopes up for it.... evidence like a mention of it in another game made by the same company. Oh well.

Yeah.. but how hard is it to just draw lines between stars making letters that all consist of straight lines? That's a crazy assumption, but maybe.

Thus the humor.
But that's ok, perhaps it's you're low serotonin level. Might I suggest a reuptake inhibitor?

Rare is so awesome.
I bought Banjo Kazzoie for the x360 a few days ago to use the Stop nd swop feature also because I was a PC fanboy back in the day so I never had the chance to play Banjo before and let me tell you it kicks ass.I don’t understand why Banjo and Nuts and Bolts are so underrated.Hell both games are under 8 in Metacritic.
Also I want to say F*CK YOU EUROGAMER.COM. 5.0 What the hell where you playing?

Its the most fun game I've played this year. But I may be a little crazy.

I just refuse to play it because if I wanted a good Banjo-Kazooie experience I'd dust off the old N64. I think its great they put it out on XBLA too. It feels like Nuts & Bolts strays too far from the Banjo format... but good for them for trying something new.

It's normal. Look at almost any game on Metacritic and you'll usually find Eurogamer near the bottom with low scores. I don't think they really like any games.
