Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO:

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is NOT a racing game. It is still a platformer, you can still control Banjo and Kazooie without vehicles, and it is Banjo-Kazooie 3.

The game is huge, it's one of the largest games Rareware has ever made, and in order to get around in the world you'll need the help of these vehicles. The way Rare has used these vehicles in order to collect Jiggies from what I've seen is quite impressive.

Rareware needed to attract a larger audience, and that's the entire reason behind the gameplay change. The guy who "used to play banjo-kazooie on his n64, lololol" can't cut it sales wise, and the Banjo-Kazooie fanbase isn't very large. Judging by the sales of the two Game Boy Advance games, they need to attract a new generation of fans, in order to increase sales.

Just do some more research before you bash Rare/The game.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts will be released sometime between September and December 2008 for the Xbox 360 console.

From Rareware's website:

It's been a long time coming, but Banjo and Kazooie are back in action - and so, to their exasperation, is dedicated arch-foe Gruntilda. The stakes have been raised, and Grunty's out to redevelop Spiral Mountain into tower blocks and shopping malls. Banjo and Kazooie's future is on the line!

Tired of the feuding between bear, bird and witch, a new player has stepped in: the mysterious Lord of Games (LOG), said to have been involved in creating every videogame ever released. He whisks the rivals away to his creative HQ in Showdown Town, and into an elaborate series of challenges held within his hand-made worlds. The winner gets the ownership deeds to Spiral Mountain, the loser an eternity of toil in LOG's videogame factory. The game is on!

However, things are a bit different this time around. The core gameplay mechanic - and the method by which worlds are traversed, challenges tackled and progress made - is the creation and customisation of vehicles, using components found, bought and won throughout Showdown Town. From wheels and weapons to springs and wings, all of which can be combined in any number and style, there's a staggering level of experimentation and personalisation for those willing to dabble. If you can imagine it, you can probably build it. But any adventurer with less confidence, experience or time on their hands can still jump in and take on the game with a pre-built range of vehicles. The Lord of Games might be heavy-handed, but he's big on equal opportunities.

However, it's not all change in Banjo-Kazooie country, as Banjo will still compete for Jiggies to unlock new destinations and hoard the musical notes that serve as legal tender. Familiar figures on hand to help include everyone's favourite shaman down at Mumbo's Motors and newly appointed tourist information officer Bottles; new faces on the block include porcine police chief Pikelet and overly competitive braggart Trophy Thomas. Outside Showdown Town you might just meet them all again, persuaded by LOG to turn thespian and act out hilarious themed roles in different worlds. You'll also have to take on Grunty's shiny army of mechanical Gruntbots, riding roughshod over Banjo's efforts to save the day.

For the first time in the Banjo universe there's also the opportunity to go online with players across your own world. Combine this with the riveting new solo adventure, and it looks like 2008 really will be the Year of the Bear. You might want to book a seat. When the comedy rattles and clanks die down, the garage door rolls up and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts finally purrs into view, you'll be glad you did.

[ChocolateArse18]

[Tanjo22]

Just out of interest, could you repeat what you just said in english?

[Ashgale123]

this game isn't impressing me much so far, but to be fair i haven't seen to much of it. And also im suprised nintendo haven't complained about them using mario and shooting it's head off in a 360 game!

[Tanjo22]

It's probably a response to Nintendo complaining about Goldeneye being released on the 360. Everyone (Including Activision) gave Rare the O.K. until Nintendo started whining about a Nintendo game appearing on a Microsoft console.

[MMMMMorshu22]

LOL THEY KILLED MARIO!!

[Dekuscrubby]

Oh my god, what a dumbass.

[kallekul99]

This game is awesome.



[TheMarja1967]

@INEEDZALL It was beta trolley, I think. Did you noticed that the rokcet hit to the house? In the final game, rockets only hit the enemies.

[INEEDZALL]

okay this is DEFINATELY beta, for 2 reasons.

1:Only the trolley is available in SDT

2:Mumbo's Motors DO NOT look like that.

[INEEDZALL]

@Dekuscrubby holy shiz, the great Dekuscrubby commenting on a video!

but wait a minute! don't you use the showdown town theme in a few of your videos?

[brunobahia19]

is this game cool? I've never played it, but it seems that very many things have been changed since BK and BT, also, I could never imagine that they would drive those crappy vehicles one day, and Mumbo Jumbo now, does he still on doing transformation and spells or has he become an engineer?

[ironhand132]

@MMMMMorshu22 now i see why rare moved to microsoft.Darn you mario

[spkligh]

[Mcmadness288]
