News \ E3 '08: Banjo Kazooie N64 goes to Xbox Live

Dying for the original Banjo Kazooie on Virtual Console? Looks like Microsoft just screwed you!

Banjo Kazooie from the N64 will be making its next gen re-release debut on Xbox Live in the lead up to the Xbox 360's Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.

At this point in time it's not known if it's going to be running the original N64 code or a rebuild version for the Xbox 360, and then there's that whole Goldeneye thing....

Aww... Though the chances of it being on VC were very little anyway.. They might release BT too... I was hoping for BT to go to the VC since I believe that someone has stolen my copy of the game..

Oh well. I don't really care that much.

Lol you guys are complete crying fanboys.

Is this necessarily a bad thing? Xbox players who never played this great platforming game can experience it on their console. Does this really hurt you that, well, such a great game can also be experienced by Xbox owners? I can all imagine you guys sitting in the corner of the room, crying like little babies. Grow up please, Its just a video game. You're taking this like civil war here.

You should acknowledge that a lot of you are running Microsoft operating systems while you furiously pound your keyboard with rage because of an old video game being available on a different console.

Its not a good thing that you guys are hating on the competitive consoles, you probably do secretly acknowledge that they do make stuff that's enjoyable as well, but stubbornly refuse to state it to be in favor of just one you want to stick to so you can be biased.

Rare can do what they want, they never "betrayed" Nintendo, they aren't traitors. They're just a video game company. You guys are being such complete ****ing drama queens over this, that it is really annoying.

Flame on, but do realize that you really have no legitimate argument of which you can properly state good points over.

Probably. But then again that's a bad thing, they'll discrase Banjo Kazooie and make people forget about the original Banjo Kazooie which was l33t. Well atleast I have the satisfaction of knowing I have the original N64 Banjo Kazooie and I can play it when ever I like ^^ But I'm still annoyed that Banjo Kazooie is being released on X-box, those bastards don't deserve this awesome game!

They may not, it depends on who owns what licenses and whether it's using the original N64 game or a rebuild
