Banjo Kazooie 3 has been confirmed by Rare, but there is no release date set. It's possible it will be one of the games showcased/talked about at E3 in July. If I was a guessing man, I'd guess sometime in 2008, as fall 2007 is getting pretty crowded.

BK 3 is made by Rare, and is owned by Microsoft. So it's an absolute exclusive as much as Halo is.

Rumors are floating it'll be a Nov/Dec release this year, but I haven't seen much info to confirm this.

Realilistically, there are no December releases aside from Lost Odyssey - August through mid November, however, is taken.

IMO, late November would be the perfect time, as MS really wants a family-friendly Christmas. A price drop + BK3 would equal a win for families wanting a cheaper-than-wii next gen system @ $199.

giev banjo back, you can keep every other game just give banjo back plix =((

Wow you think Microsoft would drop it to $199??

If Microsoft wanted to drop an awesome bomb on the gaming world this holiday, they would slash $100 off of all models, bringing them to Core $199, Premium $299, and Elite $379. Hell, they could make the Elite $399 if they wanted. That would be awesome.

I seriously have no idea when I can get any of the next systems. 360 is my first choice though.

360 is awesome! you should try to get b4 halo 3 comes out because lots of people will be buying xbox 360s to play halo 3.

I´m not really informed but I hear thar there might be a price drop soon putting the Core version down to 200-250, http://www.megagames.com/news/html/console/xbox360tocutpriceandfollowwii.shtml
plus a new processor that uses less juice, these are the things I´m waiting for,

It will be a very good move to release BK3 in November, although it depends if Mario Galaxy gets released in that time. Most families will go for the Mario game, I think we can agree in that. Anyway, the sooner the better, I´ve been waiting too long for a new Banjo game.
