In addition to the new Banjo Gamerpics, a Nuts & Bolts demo is on the way. And unlike every other Rare 360 title to date, it'll actually be before the game's release. At least, that's what BK.com's forum moderator, Mike Wilson, says. Take it away! "As far as I am aware, the demo is completed or is in certification. A 'demo coming soon' image on Xbox Live is fair enough. I doubt it will be here before the end of October. The team are hoping to get it out before release but there are no promises." And as for what this demo will be offering, Wilson adds: "It's awesome, I am sure you guys will love it. I don't think playing the demo will spoil much and it will give everyone a little taste of what is to come."

Donkey Kong Country is probably my favorite game of all time but I've not connected with much else Rareware has made since other than maybe Killer Instinct. Sea of Thieves has got to be close to my worst $60 purchase I've ever made.
Wonder why some series just seem to feel lackluster as time goes on? Well, it's because some later installments really mess up the formula. Check out ten times sequels really screwed everything up.
Ugh Musashi: Samurai Legend is so meh. Don't understand how you can go from Brave Fencer Musashi to that. I really want a Brave Fencer Musashi HD Remake or a true sequel. It's one of the best games I've ever played.
Grant Kirkhope, the composer of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, explains what he thinks the issue was with the often-criticized Xbox 360 title.
I actually liked it for what it was. But then again I'm not a Banjo fan. I actually hated a lot of the N64 style games that all followed the same Mario 64 style. Except for Conker.
I really enjoyed this game, the building was fun, I thought it was a well made platformer.
I kind of agree. The game had many new ideas that would have worked better in a new IP as people wouldn't be so upset that Nuts & Bolts played so differently from the older titles.
I seriously hate how angular the redesigns are for so many of the characters in the game
The X06 trailer built people’s hopes only for the final release to ruin those dreams
Damn right it should have
Can we just get Banjo Threeie and write this game off as Kazooies bad dream or something. An in game joke.
Really?
I can't wait /sarcasm
Awsome can't wait Banjo-Kazooie kicks LBP butt to kindom come
But no, they had to put vehicles. It's suppose to be Banjo and Kazooie, not Banjo and a bunch of mechanical parts.
but im fuming that australia doesnt get in on the reduced price and bk original pre order deal.
I must say that i use to be very intrested in this game, but ever since I played Little Big planet, that has changed. Im very slowly starting to think that the PS3 is the better system overall, just to many good exclusives coming out along with Home.
