Microsoft denies that Banjo-Kazooie will make use of a motion controller

Tyranitar24 | July 09, 2008 | News | XBOX 360 Gaming Tech/Hardware

In a Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts IGN video yesterday, Microsoft Game Studios creative director Ken Lobb said "So you basically grab with the wrench, and then you twist the controller around...", which lead for some to think a motion controller could be coming for the 360. Microsoft has denied this, saying "Ken's comment is in reference to rotating the left analog stick while hitting the X-button to move different things in the game."

Back to button mashing for Kazooie. Microsoft has sent along a brief statement allegedly clarifying what Microsoft Game Studios creative director Ken Lobb meant when he said, "you twist the controller around and it'll move different things in [Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]." The explanation goes a lil' something like this:

"There is no truth to this speculation. Ken's comment is in reference to rotating the left analog stick while hitting the X-button to move different things in the game."

Not exactly a big surprise, I wonder if we'll have a situation like Sony with the PS3 last year, you know saying there was no price drop and then turning around and saying they were three days later
