OXCGN's Ben Cadwallader takes a look at the old Banjo +Kazooie XBLA arcade game prior to it's new bigger game release, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts-N-Bolts. An interesting visit into the past on one of the most treasured arcade games that had many a retro gamer spending long hours in front of the screen.

Slip over and have a read, pass a comment and check the game out on XBLA.

Celebrating the release of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, RARE has given the franchise’s decade old fans a gift to rejoice over, a port of the original Banjo Kazooie for Xbox Live Arcade. The story throws you into the backpack of Banjo and Kazooie as they venture through Gruntilda’s Lair to find Banjo’s ‘cute and nice’ sister, to stop the ugly witch from stealing her good looks!

Banjo Kazooie has similar elements in common with Super Mario 64, it adheres to the platforming genre of collecting items.

These items will unlock doors, which in turn open more worlds for you to visit with more items for you to collect. It’s a simple theme, but it worked 10 years ago… and it still works today.
