One of the surprise hits at the Tokyo Game Show was Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Yes, a non-RPG Xbox 360 game literally stopped crowds. Every time a Nuts and Bolts video was shown, hundreds of people would stop what they were doing and watch it (as shown in the above picture). Take notes, Microsoft.

Discuss in the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts forum

Believe it or not, the video presentation that was showing at the time was for Rare's Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Really. And every other time I saw it shown, people stopped, turned, and watched, where for most other titles (Star Ocean 4's STUNNING cinematics aside) they'd just keep on walking.
