Is it just me, or do the graphics look the same?

If I recall correctly, I remember RARE saying that they will re-release Banjo-Kazooie onto XBLA with "updated graphics".

You tell me.

I have both. The 360 'upgrade' is in the upscaling of the textures. The Xbox 360 version sports crisper textures and runs in full HD. It looks awesome.

lol All I noticed was that the intro for the X360 looked pathetic. I agree with sjt. Old Rare logo = better. =] Oh, and I didn't see anything different besides the widescreen. Could've just been youtube.

with updated graphics,
I'm sure they just meant a polish up, removal of Nintendo graphics, and widescreen support.

That's because YouTube quality is ****! Go check it out on GameTrailers, there's quite a major difference.

Make the dark lines a little darker and increased the sharpness

Takes me two minutes to do that to my tv

I call idiot. It's a whole new font, to match the new Banjo, it's sharpened and it's widescreen. Oh and has a better framerate. If you think the N64 one looks better, get some glasses.

It's suppose to appeal to people that haven't played it before. You could say the same thing about VC games, but do they look any better? No. Go cry me a river.

That's a good point. I had those two games, and they did look very similar. Rare were on the cutting edge of graphics at the time for the N64.
