MS haven't even tried with Banjo annoyingly enough, but even just a remake ala Crash/Spyro trilogy would do great. None of this requires rare to be sold though and the new Spyro was greenlit under their (microsofts) ownership so I think it's just a matter of time, especially with a multiplatform release blowing the sales wide open across Nintendo/Playstation.
Edit: It's worth noting Rare actively did not want to work on more straight forward platforming which is why Banjo Nuts & Bolts turned out so removed from the core DNA of the franchise. That right there is a perfect example of how not to do a sequel. If you want to do something so different, simply make a new IP or Spinoff. I imagine anything new from Banjo will come from a separate team or co-development vs Rare dedicating themselves to it.
