360 News from N4G | Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
360 - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Two previous Banjo 3 concepts were scrapped 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!"

360 News from N4G | Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
360 - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - New Banjo will shake up 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 3 is 80% vehicles N4G
360 News from N4G | Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
360 - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Banjo 3 is 80% vehicles 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.

360 - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Mario spotted in new Banjo-Kazooie trailer 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.
