Among the many presentations and new titles submitted during Spaceworld 2000, we can also find the interesting Banjo-Threeie tech demo. It was not really meant to be a video from a new game, but just a “recycled” footage from previous Rareware games (it contains even some Conker stuff), created to demonstrate the capabilities of the Gamecube.
We can see two situations: in the first Banjo and Kazooie in a canyon (some have suggested that this canyon is the same one from Diddy Kong Racing), chased by enemies from the previous Banjo games. The second situation is set in the disco level of Conker’s Bad Fur Day.
After the purchase of RARE by Microsoft, the third chapter in the saga of Banjo was released for the XBOX 360 and of course the old tech demo for Gamecube has never become a real game.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

IT IS NINTENDOS FAULT, BECAUSE THEY LET MS BUY RARE.
RARE WAS MORE WORTH TO MS THAN TO NINTENDO, SO IT`S BIG N`S DECISSION.

Nintendo should buy Rare back?? hell no, they suck now cos most of the original team left it after they were bought by Microsoft, I hate how they raped good franchises like Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark and I certainlu don’t want that to happen to classics like Donkey Kong, so microsoft can keep their shit games like viva pinata and banjo-kazooie nuts and balls.

Guys, Microsoft has nothing to do with Rare’s downfall. Many of their best developers left. Microsoft just owns the company. That’s it. They don’t have anything to do with why Rare isn’t as good as they used to be. Their games wouldn’t be much different on the Wii.

Guys, you’re all acting like idiots. The comment above me is completely true, Microsoft just owns Rare, since Rare is a Third-Party Developer. I think Rare’s just shooting out games now to fund in becoming an independent company. I also think Rare will listen to their fans, and put more tradition in the next Banjo-Kazooie game, so stop whining. You’re all acting like Sonicfags, one below average game is released, and suddenly, you’re all bitching.
Just calm down, lol.

I AM REALLY MAD THAT THEY ACCUALLY CAME OUT WITH ONE FOR THE 360!
I mean seriously, who wants microsoft stealing the best
things about banjo kazooie! Now they made a crappy Banjo &
Kazooie
I would have loved if Rare didn’t change to Microsoft!
Everything about banjo kazooie is over! Lets have a moment of silence for the past games everybody has deeply loved.
But I can see that like in the past games Starting With Banjo Kazooie N64 You could fully play inside Gruntilda’s Lair, But in Banjo Tooie you could only go in her lair and stand basically at the entrance, But now in Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts you can’t go inside That really ticks me off!
I wish that BK Nuts and Bolts was for Wii or DS
