Mario spotted in new Banjo-Kazooie trailer

Joystiq writes: In case you missed it, check out the Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts trailer one more time. Watch closely, especially at the 1:45 mark. Yep, that's an 8-bit Mario in all his planar glory, as both a testament to the user-generated nature of the game as well as we suspect a not-so-subtle nod to their former publishing partner.

1.2 - It's typical Rare

On the one hand they're saying thanks for the memories and on the other hand they're saying traditional platforming is dead.

Light hearted or not. That's confidence!

We'll see when the game is released whether or not Banjo can hold up to Mario Galaxy. Rare better pray it does or else this Mario joke would be ironic as hell.

It was a light-hearted joke.

I wasn't a tribute just as much as it wasn't a real shot at Nintendo or Mario.

People trying to make this much more than it is...

So how is it a tribute if you blow it up? Seeing as how they blew up Mario and the 'Nuts & Bolts' moniker not only sounds suspiciously Ratchet & Clank like, but also LOOKS like they were inspired a little too much, I took this video as a pretty bold statement that they pretty much just made fun of two franchises. After looking at the press materials, which also featured pictures and a biography of two of the programmers (?) that was available for download on the Xbox press site, it sounds too much like Rare is tooting their horn.

Weird that it is on 360 when it looks like a PS2 game from the video..Not trying to hate but it is seriously the least next gen looking game I have seen so far. Ratchet and Clank looks far superior to this game. Hell it looks like its not even on the same level as SMG..Maybe I just watched a poor quality video

i agree with DailyAddict, it looks a little too much like Ratchet & Clank/Jak and Daxter....a poorer looking version of those two games.

as for the mario part, meh.
i didn't see them blow up mario. it cut away.

When I created jumping man I would of never guessed "he" would be this big

Its a clear fact that Mario is the father of all great video games

Nintendo has revolutionize the world time and time again

The competition has nothing that can compare to that

Definately have to give it up for Mario. The most iconic character to ever be created in video games, right above the Pac Man.

Cool to see RARE giving some props to the Nintendo of old.

Not surprized MSFT/Rare have deals being worked out where MSFT Game Studios will be releasing MGS titles/or their IP's on NIntendo's Wii. Despite KIM's denial of the showing of the MSFT Motion controller or it not being real(hard to read KIM so who knows) there may be many multi platfrom motion titles between the two consoles.

In other words what PoG here is trying to say is.

"MS will try to copy Nintendo to the fullest, this is a step in trying to copy Mario. Right not we are busy coping the Wiimote in every way we can."

Watch the thing the entire way through? It gets blown up, that's more of a slap in the face than a tribute.
