Latest in BK: N&B News... -15 May 2008 by Drew.
...some interesting stuff actually!

Earlier this afternoon several lucky people from various sites throughout the community had the generous opportunity to engage in a chat with Gregg Mayles and ask questions regarding BK: N&B - myself included. Although I wasn't able to stay from beginning to end, I did manage to get a couple questions in. The contents of that chat can be viewed here.

There is also another interesting article I came across that is (more or less) worth a few minutes of your time to check out.

If you're not to keen on reading, perhaps you'd rather take a look at this video. It contains some small tidbits of N&B game play - well worth watching.
Three more... -14 May 2008 by Drew.
Screen shots just keep rolling in! We now have three more to gaze at - take a look.

Screen Shot One
Screen Shot Two
Screen Shot Three

Screen shot number three seems to be of the mysterious 'Banjo Land' that we saw in the trailer. It looks rather interesting too, might I add. The structure near Banjo seems to be the Cloud Cuckooland Trash Can, if I'm not mistakin'.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts -13 May 2008 by Drew.
With the embargo lifted, loads more of information has drifted in. The bulk of everything shown today can be found at the sites listed below - take a look.

GamePro
IGN
CVG
(With an exclusive interview with Gregg Mayles)
GameSpot
(As well as a video interview)
Official Trailer (YouTube)
Gameplay Footage
New Images!


Have a look at the official site while your at it. It doesn't have much other than a few lovely desktop wallpapers to gaze admirably at, but oh well. You may as well take a gander at Rare's official site as long as you're reading this. It actually contains a noticeably bit more info, including: a cast list, an introduction, and images.

It now appears that the game will function heavily around the vehicles. It's actually quite interesting how they've included them into the game play mechanics. BK: N&B is definitely not what we were expecting, but this game undoubtedly holds a great deal of promise. I will continue to update this - I'm doing this rather quickly! I myself haven't even read through everything yet. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but just take a moment to sit down and let the information sink in.
One More Day... -13 May 2008 by Drew.
Banjo-Kazooie 3 news is on the agenda, and it's approaching full steam! The game will be shown tomorrow at a Microsoft Press event in San Fransisco. Try to hold off your savage desires until then, okay?

I will (hopefully) be here as soon as I can to post all the news we've so patiently waited for; that is, updating the BK3 page, chatting on the forum, and such. Hopefully we get loads more in addition to the leaked images that we all drooled over yesterday.

For all those who seem to think this will be some type of race game with gimmicky vehicles, it has been stated numerous times that this is what it won't be. No need to worry. Check this if you are in need of more reassurance.

We have yet to wait a fair number of hours, but hopefully you can still tide yourself over by looking at these screen shots (added larger scale images) we have right now. You will definitely want to get on the internet tomorrow. Hm, possibly the dumbest thing I've said all day.
Banjo-Threeie Leaked (!) -11 May 2008 by Drew.
Urgent Update: We have major leaks! View photo album! Discuss! Amazing images! Spoilers obviously, duh.
-------------------------------
Apparently two screen shots of BK3 were leaked earlier this afternoon, and may I say they are quite an eyeful! If you don't want anything to be spoiled, I suggest you not click this link. I am unaware of the authenticity of these photos (I am sure they are most definitely real), but there is no denying that they look pretty sweet. Head on over to our lovely forum and chat away!

I just added the screens to the BK3 Gallery as well. Check them out! Interesting enough, the place we are looking at seems to be named Nutty Acres. Hmm...

First Screen
Second Screen

The visuals will no doubt take your breath away! Try not to blink!
GTS - Round Two! -10 May 2008 by Drew.
I had some spare time earlier, so I was able to finish and upload a new Guess that Screenshot contest. I don't think I made it too hard, hopefully. Everyone is invited to send in their response to one of the images (Let's let everyone have a chance to guess one, don't need one person guessing all ten). Good luck.

I have one last small bit of news for you to dredge through. In an attempt to provide you with a small bit of amusement, Rare has launched a new section on their official website. If you happen to be pondering what that may be (you most likely already know), I will tell you that it happens to be a movie player . Enjoy.
Scribes! -09 May 2008 by Drew.
The stupid Rare letters page has returned once again. Check it out; you can just see the fragments of BK3 information oozing from the pages! Well, actually you can't.
BK3 Page -06 May 2008 by Drew.
I have finally begun to work on the BK3 page. It took me far too long, but hopefully I can update it more after more BK3 information comes out; which should be soon.

We live in hope, anyway. wink
We're Back -27 Apr 2008 by Drew.
We had a bit of downtime earlier. Sorry guys. Box 5/10, 13 of our host went off line due to some sort of abuser. It should be all better now.

NE joins the... affiliate list! -23 Apr 2008 by Drew.

Sounds easy enough, right? laughing
May 13th? -22 Apr 2008 by Drew.
Some rumors seem to be circulating the web that BK3 is going to be unveiled relatively soon - May 13th to be exact.

It seems a fellow fan recently got in a personal peek of the game, stated here, in his post on NeoGaf. Here's a picture as proof of his visit.

Seems pretty legit to me. I guess we'll just have to wait until May 13th to find out if this is true. True or not, be sure to keep your eyes on the teaser site.

If you want to discuss this, head on over to this thread.
New Affiliate -05 Apr 2008 by Drew.
We have a new affiliate that goes by 'Banjo Comet!' It's a pretty sleek French site, and so far it's off to a great start.

I've also added the captions and a new poll, sorry it took me so long. If I somehow missed your caption, let me know. I went through them rather fast...

Edit:
Sheesh... I can't believe I forgot to mention this. Disinformation Central
New Captions & Affiliate -22 Mar 2008 by Drew.
I've added five (Six really) new images in the Caption Contest. I'm hoping to get some good captions to put under them too; which is where you come in... don't disappoint me. I want to thank www area for sending me the images, he was kind enough to let me use them (thanks a buch)!

Also, I will try to get "Guess That Screenshot" round two up in my spare time, and it won't be easy, mind you. I'm gonna make it harder!

We also have a new forum affiliate; the Banjo-Kazooie Forums! Check them out!

Until my next update... have a nice day, or night. wink
Official Website Launced -20 Mar 2008 by Drew.
Microsoft has launched the official Banjo-Kazooie website, which you can view below.

Banjo-Kazooie.com

Have a look. It's dead interesting. Discuss it on our forums.
New Affiliate! -14 Mar 2008 by Drew.
We have a new affiliate today. Crash City! -A Crash Bandicoot website. It's pretty good, so go check it out.

On a side note, I'm working on some new things which I hope to have finished sometime next week. smile
New Poll... -05 Mar 2008 by Drew.
A little late on the update, but I've manged to compile another ultra fascinating, unbelievably interesting, and endlessly entertaining poll. Go vote in it; it represents the opinions of the entire Banjo population -not too mention several others who couldn't give a crap.

You know, as I watch myself ramble on about nothing particularly meaningful ...maybe even downright useless... I think I may be forgetting something. *thinking*...Got it. Go join teh forum!


<< Oh yea, New avatar thingy! Lovely, no? tongue
Are you ready? -14 Feb 2008 by Drew.
Two updates in one day? You've gotta' be kidding me! I would just like to take this time to wish you a happy Valentine's Day...well not really. Actually I wanted to take this time to announce that the new forums are here. I've got three words to say, GO SIGN UP! Don't just sit there and stare at it, that just ruins the whole purpose. SIGN UP and POST peoples'! =D
Scribes -14 Feb 2008 by Drew.
Rare has updated their website with the latest edition of Scribes. Just to be nice, I went in and took out some of the interesting bits. See below.

"Banjo won't be a shooter but it also won't be a traditional platformer..."

"Clanker fans worldwide will be pleased to know that Clanker is making his comeback in the new Banjo game. Also making a welcome return is the snowman from Freezeezy Peak, the Mad Monster Mansion and of course videogames' premier toilet – Loggo."

"EVERYONE will love the new Banjo game because it is great." -Ooh confidence.

1) Do you plan on having a double level like Hailfire Peaks?
"1) No. But we have got one that features a volcano with double entendres."

2) Do also plan on having a level as trippy and confusing as Cloud Cuckooland?
"2) Yes, if you like inflatable sheep and polystyrene buildings."

"Both Mumbo and Humba will return, having spent the lengthy time between games learning new skills. Bottles will also be back but loudmouth Jamjars was fired for being too annoying and has been consigned to the videogame character Hall of Shame..."

No name yet, to my knowledge. Banjo-Threeie would make sense, but has the disadvantage of sounding bloody awful.

Grant says: "I'm still not decided on whether to use orchestra on the new Banjo game or not. The Banjo games have always been a real mixture of instruments, some orchestral, some not. You'll just have to wait and see, won't you..."

New Forums Coming... -05 Feb 2008 by Drew.
Hey there. I'm back sooner that I expected with an update. :D I just thought I would like to mention that we will be getting some new forums soon, so I encourage you to keep an eye on that. The new forum software we will be using is MyBB, if you have a problem with that.. too bad. Feel free to sign up to our "current" forum to talk about it.

wink
Update Delay -01 Feb 2008 by Drew.
Sorry for the lack of updates everyone. :( I've been busy with other more important things lately, which is why I don't update as often as I would like. I hope you all understand. :)

With that said, feel free to vote in the new poll, send some User Feature stuff in, or join the forums. Don't be afraid to register. ;)

Hope to see you around. wink
