Quote: "Raven. That is wrong, its the original Banjo Kazooie with all the same features but they put a new feature which wasn't implemented in Banjo Tooie. So whatever you unlock like Puzzle pieces then unlocks features in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and bolts. Edit: And it has very few graphical updates."
Well if what they're releasing on Nov 26th is the original game on Live, then no... there are no graphical enhancements other than being able to run in all HD formats.
There was work on a new adventure that was suppose to be finished in-time that bridged the gap between Banjo Tooie and Nut & Bolts, the nice feature it had was if you owned Nuts & Bolts it would enhance the graphics with the media from that game (provided your disc was in) rather than the so-so graphics the Arcade space limitations allowed.
Guess that has been canned while I've been down at Guildford though. Shame as it was a nice touch, especially over the emulated originals.
There is another old title that might recieve that sort of make-over, but a few projects were recently canned or put on-hold for the next generation with primary focus staying on the current three titles in development (first of which was just released)
Banjo Kazooie, isn't much like the other Rare platformers. In that it really is more aimed towards children than adults. Some of the jokes within the game are more adult orientated, but gameplay wise it's a fairly bog standard platformer. Go to an area, navigate around the puzzles and fight a boss.
Conker's had the same style (and in the case of Reloaded basically a graphical boost) but it's the raw humour and piss-taking of movies of the time that made that one quite enjoyable. Although believe me the better graphics and sound from Reloaded make the experience less frustrating than the N64 original.
Mind in the remake they did cut out A LOT of swearing; also think being able to do things like jump on a plants giant breasts to get to a secret area was cool, plus I can't think of the last game where you fight a giant operah singing poo. Conkers was... special
