The original N64 version of Banjo-Tooie was met with near-universal critical acclaim, though some were disappointed by the cancellation of one of the title's most lauded additions -- a feature known as "Stop 'n' Swop," where special eggs located in Banjo-Kazooie could be imported into Tooie to exchange for various prizes.
Now, nearly a decade later, the feature has found its way into the XBLA re-release of Banjo-Tooie -- but this time around, the rewards are a tad more tangible. As seen in the video after the jump, an achievement, gamer pic and a Banjo-Kazooie NXE theme (as well as a few in-game cheats and items) are all up for grabs if you've got the mettle to go egg hunting in Banjo the First. And by "the mettle," we of course mean "the GameFAQs guide."

Aren't there also eggs in Tooie that unlock things in Banjo-Kazooie and Nuts & Bolts?

I agree. I would like to know.
If it is an NXE theme- even though the game is 1200 points, that would technically only make it seem like 960...
EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS!

Now I fully understand why you would want to buy xbox live marketplace stuff on amazon.com. I thought amazon.com was good for mainly gifting stuff but knowing you can buy something for exactaly how much it cost. I might actually buy some xbl stuff from amazon.com now.

I already got all of the Stop 'n' Swap Items because I got Banjo-Kazooie for free with Nuts and Bolts, and I bought Banjo-Tooie Casue I love it. The theme is a Premium NXE theme.
I also noticed in addition to that last egg, the N64 cartages that used to have a couple of eggs and the ice key in them have special eggs that bring up another notice saying they are prizes for Stop 'n' Swap II.
