Microsoft
announced today that gamers can now pre-order
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Much more exciting is the fact that the rumored price of $39.99 is true, making
Nuts & Bolts a real bargain. Making the deal even sweeter, gamers that pre-order the game will receive a download code for the Xbox Live Arcade version of
the original Banjo Kazooie. Even better than
that, the code will work starting on November 14, the day of the
Nuts & Bolts launch, a full two weeks before the XBLA game hits Xbox Live Marketplace. The XBLA release will include a feature called "Stop N' Swop" which allows players to unlock new features in XBLA game by playing
Nuts & Bolts.
Finally, a new
Nuts & Bolts world called Jiggoseum was revealed. You can check out the first images of Jiggoseum in the gallery below.

Awesome!
Still not getting this pile though.

I'm not really interested in this game, but I have zero doubt it'll be a good game. Just not my thing.
This is a hell of a deal.
RockerAnimeFreak @ Aug 19th 2008 3:45PM
A must buy! =) and free Banjo and Kazooie even BETTER!

I have next to no interest in this game, but it is a good deal. I'll probably end up pre-ordering it just for the XBLA game though (I love the original, I just think the new version looks baaaaaad).

Uuuu...new comment entering system! :D
Hmmm...at $39.99 this game surely has my attention. At $59.99 it was a no buy...but now I just might have to get it...
dicknjane @ Aug 19th 2008 5:02PM
um, can you say day one buy for sure? cuz i can.
Iced_Eagle @ Aug 19th 2008 5:56PM
I already pre-ordered when Amazon had it listed as $40 a few weeks back. I thought it was a mistake though.
But now I'm really happy with my purchase because I get Banjo XBLA for free :-D
Awesome deal Rare/MS!

I was planning on purchasing this game one day one at the 59.99 price seeing as I have great love for both the Banjo Kazooie franchise, and user generated content. However, now that the game is only 39.99 I am absolutely flabbergasted...
I'm still planning on buying it on day one, but I just keep expecting there to be a condition... How and why would Microsoft make this game 39.99?
Greg @ Aug 19th 2008 7:50PM
How much will the original game cost?
flameofdoom666 @ Aug 19th 2008 9:39PM
I am thinking $5 (400 MS points) or $10 (800 MS points).
No more then that- but I would guess the sweet spot would be $10.
AnthonyGalindoX @ Aug 19th 2008 8:46PM
What a great deal. Not only do I now have incentive to buy it but there's also a pre-order bonus for an XBLA game. I'm loving this and the Fable II Pub games pre-order bonus.
Spinal Fish @ Aug 19th 2008 9:04PM
is this a us exclusive, considering rare is English I am hoping itl be Europe too
Clinton oxendine @ Aug 19th 2008 9:36PM

flameofdoom666 @ Aug 19th 2008 9:40PM
Go to IGN.com and read about it.
It is amazing.
SeneorGoat @ Aug 20th 2008 3:40AM
nuts and bolts out on my bday!!
Boff @ Aug 20th 2008 9:57AM
Shit. This is going back on my (already too full) must buy list now - provided the deal isn't US only.
blank964 @ Aug 20th 2008 2:29PM
That's a hell of a deal, too bad I have no interest in playing the new game but the first game was great when I was in fourth grade.
