Ready your spring-loaded propeller boat and fasten your seatbelt, “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts” is hitting U.S. store shelves on November 14, and pre-orders begin today. For the retail price of $39.99, those who pre-order at participating retailers will get in on all the Banjo fun right off the starting line, and as a special bonus, will also receive a free download code for the original “Banjo-Kazooie,” launching on Xbox LIVE Arcade later this fall.

That is pretty rad. Free games by pre-ordering is a great trend.

The EB by work had the Pub Games, I'm gonna preorder this shit from there.

Any word when the SR2 preorder bonuses will hit stores?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #3 on:** August 19, 2008, 12:36:06 PM »

Does this deal work by pre-ordering online at EB?

Guybrush Threepwood · « **Reply #4 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:46:15 PM »

It also says that people who pre-order the game get to play Banjo-Kazooie on the XBLA two weeks sooner than everyone else.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #5 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:52:52 PM »

So you need to put down a $40 deposit? Or is the game $40?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:54:15 PM »

Sweet, $40 and you get the original game.

demi · « **Reply #8 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:54:21 PM »

Game is $40, they'll probably make you deposite $10, like they did Fable 2 Pub Games

GilloD · « **Reply #9 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:55:52 PM »

$40? Totally sold. Great call.

MCD · « **Reply #10 on:** August 19, 2008, 01:57:41 PM »

VP2 is also 40.

Seriously? Oh god. I was sos ketched about dropping 60 bucks on it, but now I'm SOOOOOLD>

MCD · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2008, 03:27:18 PM »

yeah, i can't find any PR for it but i am certain it is priced the same.

It kinda worries me that the game is only $40. Wasn't it supposed to be one of MS's big titles?

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #15 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:17:07 PM »

Big FAMILY titles.

Anywho, anyone ever gotten a download code through Amazon? Can I trust that I'll receive it or is it better to get it at brick and mortar?

y2kev · « **Reply #16 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:39:14 PM »

i preordered two weeks ago yaaaaaay

Crushed · « **Reply #17 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:42:14 PM »

I almost wish I had a 360.

Or at least a 360 controller and a PC port of Banjo.

cool breeze · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:43:03 PM »

I had this pre-ordered for a week or more. I don't know anymore when I pre-order things. I actually got a call saying my copy of Too Human was in, and I never pre-ordered it.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #20 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:43:41 PM »

I believe you, Kev. Trolls are always more effective if you actually play the game.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:46:33 PM »

God damn what a mess this game is, visually. It being by Rare sort of suggests that it will be a mess in most ways, but holy crap at that clutter.

Color is fine, bug nasty clutter and overall shit balance is not.

What the fuck are you talking about? Bug nasty clutter? What the hell does that even mean?

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #26 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:27:13 AM »

I don't get the complains about the art. Banjo's a better looking Lego game than the actual Lego games.

Also, it's only $40!

duckman2000 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:33:22 AM »

Bug nasty, cluttered and poorly balanced. Another Rare game developed seemingly without an actual art director on staff.

But hey, it's got lots of detail, that makes it look great! /Xbot

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #28 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:36:25 AM »

You realize that that particular stage is a combination of previous Banjo levels in one area, right?

And poorly balanced? You haven't even fucking played it so how the hell could you possibly come up with that conclusion?

Doesn't matter what it is, it's a cluttered, nasty mess.

So let me get this straight. You motherfuckers can say that it looks great, but I need to have played it to determine that its visually poorly balanced? Brilliant.

this plus the first game for $40 piques my interest, but man there are already a lot of games i want to buy this fall/winter

cool breeze · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:41:07 AM »

While I do agree that Rare has nasty ass aethetics with their games, there are parts of Banjo that do look nice.

Yes, but that is the style they are going for; that whole robotic/natural thing or something. I don't like it most of the time, but some places like Showdown Town look quite good.

I mean, this is a huge step up from shit like Kameo and PDZ. Although to be honest, Viva did look good.
