Can't wait to play my "free" copy

So, is the N64 logo appearing in the title screen? o_O

And serious LOLs here:

7.5 Graphics
It's been reworked, but that doesn't mean all of the ugly textures are gone.

O rly?

Does the free copy come in the box, or when you put down the preorder?

The N64 screen is gone. When you preorder your game you'll be given a code to download the game. I preordered mine at amazon and they'll e-mail me the code within 5 days of the release.

so...old style platformers are shitty...but try to do something new with the genre...its still shitty because its not like old platformers?
these people need to make up their minds.

IGN Ratings for Banjo-Kazooie (X360)
Rating Description
out of 10
8.0 Presentation
This is a great example of how to bring an old game to life on the XBLA.
7.5 Graphics
It's been reworked, but that doesn't mean all of the ugly textures are gone.
5.0 Sound
Those sound effects can be downright awful. Pleasant music, though.
8.0 Gameplay
If platforming and fetching is your thing, it doesn't get much better.
6.5 Lasting Appeal
The game itself is pretty big with lots to do. The replay value isn't what it used to be.
8.0
Impressive OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

I have no idea how they make the overall

lol, wow wait! I didn't notice this at first, but how can the replay value not be what it used to be? Who's Erik Brudvig!! D:

I'm actually more excited to play this port/remake than the new Banjo-Kazooie. Thanks, Toys 'R' Us!

I wish N64 updates were done like this on the Wii! Zelda, Starfox, and Wave Race!! Oh well, I'll get this for my kid when it comes out. Maybe I'll even spring for Nuts & Bolts. Either way, this will be a nice addition to the library.

I can wait to play my copy! Only cost $36, and came with this free showdown town explore on foot game with some crappy vehicle thing.
