Forums - Microsoft - Is is true that the original Banjo Kazooie is coming to Xbox Live Arcade?

Supposedly the graphics are being updates somewhat.
I was really hoping for a banjo HD remix, and have always hoped for another battle tanx and vigilante 8 game and BAM both vigilante 8 and banjo kazooie arcade announced, both with better than the original graphics!

I thought it was meant to come out around the same time as the main game, like a few weeks before, and that release date is still unknown

Yes. It's coming to XBL. Rare still has a good working relationship with Nintendo (they still do DS games), and they worked something out with Nintendo.

I need to find the quote, but that's nearly verbatim (the good working relationship part).

I will go out on a ledge and say that BK will be coming out just before Banjo Three.

 

If that's the case then there will be a favor returned haha.  Companies don't do that for nothing.  Either Nintendo is getting a piece of the profit(the most likely) or Rare is returning the favor with a game or a project for their VC. 

 

Anyways it's cool that its coming over but I have my N64 hooked up right next to my 360 with that game in the slot haha so don't know if I'll download it.

Why would there need to be an additional favor for this? Rare already made Diddy Kong Racing for DS and is working on Viva Pinata for it too. They also ported all of the Donkey Kong Country games onto the GBA, along with spinoffs for Banjo-Kazooie.
