Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
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."
While the statement seems to confirm that Banjo-Kazooie will stick to conventional controls, it by no means denies that Microsoft is preparing a magic show for E3. Will the wand be waved? Stay tuned.

"All of the motion controller hopes and complaints regarding the Banjo video on IGN are false," he said. So long, rumor.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
VG247: Salvatore Fileccia, lead programmer of Rare's Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, has said his game isn't in direct competition with Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet, despite the two platformers sharing a passion for furthering the genre.
"I don't think we're a competitor," he said. "I think, obviously, we compete in a completely different dimension; we're 3D, they're 2D. I mean, I don't know the complete details of LittleBigPlanet, obviously, but I'm pretty sure the two games are going to be pretty different."

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Microsoft has begun chest thumping over it's 2008 line-up of games, saying its invention of Xbox has led to a "Christmas Eve like never before" every week of the year.
In an update on its official website the company cites Gears of War 2 (Nov 2008), Ninja Gaiden 2 (June 6), Too Human (August 29), Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise (Sep 2008), Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (Holiday 2008), Fable 2 (2008) and Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One (out now).
It says: "It's going to be very tough sleeping at night with this amazing haul coming so soon."

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Videogamer writes: "In a post over on the Xbox.com forums, Rare community manager George Kelion (under his XBL gamertag Monkeythumbz) has offered an insight into the "blocky" visual style seen in the developer's upcoming Xbox 360 video game Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
"Banjo's new look is meant to be self-referential," explained Kelion. "Videogames have developed their own visual language - from the pixels of 8-bit gaming, through the parallax backgrounds of 16-bit to the blocky, low-poly designs of 32 and 64 bit gaming. We reckon it's fun (and a little bit cool) to purposefully incorporate and celebrate these themes as an artistic endeavour."
Kelion also shared the thoughts of Steve Mayles, Banjo team's lead creative artist and brother of Gregg Mayles."

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Speaking in a live chat with some Rare fan sites, Rare's head of design Gregg Mayles revealed that that Banjo-Kazooie 3 as we see it today is actually the third iteration, with the two previous concepts having been scrapped.
"This is actually the 3rd Banjo 3! We scrapped two other approaches, didn't think they offered a big enough step forward," said Mayles. "So I would say it started after Ghoulies. But then got scrapped a couple of times. Then I worked on Piñata. Then came back to Banjo again! Oh, and I think I did some puzzles for Mr. Pants too!"

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
VG247: Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts dev lead Gregg Mayles reckons platform adventuring of old is over - and the new Rare game is the true evolution.
"It's true that anyone wanting a carbon copy of the previous two games will be disappointed, so I'm not even going to make out that it is," he said in a live chat with Rare fansites.
"What I believe it to be is an evolution of the platform adventure genre. The genre is too stale: it needed shaking up, so we're trying something different, but within the framework of a 'traditional' Banjo game."

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Rare's head of design Gregg Mayles has revealed that approximately 80% of game time in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts will be spent with vehicles.
"I would say around 80% vehicles, but just a rough guess. Banjo gets in and out of the vehicles all the time, but the travelling is done in the vehicles. A lot of the tasks require Banjo to get out and either do something to the vehicles, put something in the vehicles and so on," explained Mayles.

Joystiq writes: In case you missed it, check out the Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts trailer one more time. Watch closely, especially at the 1:45 mark. Yep, that's an 8-bit Mario in all his planar glory, as both a testament to the user-generated nature of the game as well as we suspect a not-so-subtle nod to their former publishing partner.» Read More
