Forums - Gaming - Stop 'n' Swop

I didn't know where to place this thread, seeing as it belongs in the micrsoft section just as much as it does in the nintendo section.

I just wanted to know if I'm the only one here genuinely excited about the unveling of stop n swop via XBLA and banjo threeie.  For those of you who dont know what stop n swop is, here is a brief explanation: Stop 'N' Swop is a hidden feature in Banjo-Kazooie. Evidence suggests that the feature was never fully implemented due to the Nintendo 64 revisions completed in 1999 that kept the feature from being practical.  The feature was widely publicized through a column published by Nintendo Power.

Rare announced that special areas and items in the game could only be reached by completing certain tasks in its sequel, Banjo-Tooie. It was later discovered that Banjo-Kazooie contains seven special items which can be accessed using in-game cheat codes or by using a cheat cartridge. These items would then be viewable in a menu entitled "Stop 'N' Swop".

Rare scratched the idea, seeing as the process of stopping and swopping harmed the N64 and cartridge,a dn so gamers have ever since, been trying to find the secrets and extras that stop and swop offered.  Finally, after 8 years of hacking and searching, the secret is going to be revealed.

Am I the only one excited about this?(I probably am, but what the hell)
