Banjoo-Tooie Hitting XBLA Soon!
The sequel to the N64 title Banjo-Kazooie will be hitting the XBLA this early 2009. Just like Banjo-Kazooie, which released for the XBLA late 2008, the game will be nearly identical to the original with upped graphics and improved frame rate. We will assume the price tag on this nostalgic beauty will be around 800-1200 (10-15$) Microsoft Points. More news coming as it happens!

Rare Increased Text Size for Banjo
Rare has finally released a patch that has increased the size of the font that appears through the game. Before, the text was not large enough to be read clearly, or atleast without squinting. Although Rare said the text would not be fixed, I guess they changed their minds.
Good news for BK-N&B fans.
Enjoy!

Once again, the game will be available via XBLA on December 3rd for 1200 Microsoft Points (15$ USD).
