Tra le tante novità ed i tanti titoli presentati durante lo Spaceworld 2000, troviamo anche l’interessante Banjo-Threeie: in realtà non si tratta di un vero e proprio gioco, piuttosto una tech demo “riciclata” da precedenti giochi Rareware per Nintendo 64 e creata per dimostrare le capacità dell’allora appena presentato Game Cube. Possiamo distinguere due situazioni: nella prima Banjo e Kazooie corrono in un canyon (alcuni hanno ipotizzato che questo canyon proviene da un tracciato di Diddy Kong Racing), inseguiti da vecchie conoscenze tratte dai precedenti giochi di Banjo. La seconda situazione, è invece ambientata in un livello di Conker’s Bad Fur Day, per Nintendo 64. Dopo l’acquisto di RARE da parte di Microsoft, il terzo capitolo della saga di Banjo è stato annunciato per XBOX 360 e naturalmente la vecchia tech demo per GameCube non è mai divenuta un gioco.

    This pisses me off. We could have had an amazing BK3, but now we have a crappy one coming for the 360.

  2. FullMetalMC Says:

    why is Nuts and Bolts crappy? with the stronger hardware on the Xbox they can make a better game tho I do think Rare shouldve stayed with Nintendo they couldve made a good game for the Wii

    I heard people say the first part with the dancing guys was for another canceled game, Conker’s Other Bad Fur Day.

  4. Fdtyui Says:

    No, the dance scene was just re-used from CBFD to save time. And the Wii would be horrible for BKNB because the 360 has much greater game possibilities.

  5. FullMetalMC Says:

    not saying Nuts and Bolts port on the Wii but a totally different game that would be built ground up just for the Wii

  6. Fdtyui Says:

    I still think that would be horrible, they might kill it with the motion controls, but, eh, that’s just my opinion.

    poor rare , microsoft! you can go to the $@it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    conker and banjo are in bad moments now

  9. ObviouslyNot Says:

    If anything Nuts and Bolts is blessing, not only finally giving us another installment, but also introducing more people to the franchise. Too be honest I couldn’t imagine Rare using the Wii’s motion controls if it had been released for Wii anyway.

    However, I’m apprehensive about the fact that transformations have been replaced with vehicles. But saying that, Kameo has pleased by need for a Rare-made game with transformations.

    Nono, everything was replaced by vehicles, nearly all the game is vehicle platforming with race game physics/controls, rare screwed up again. Only good thing is BK coming to VC to introduce fans to the good games.
