Since Banjo XBLA's release three weeks ago, several bugs have been reported -and now fixed- by this port's developer 4J Studios. Users without the BKXBLA bonus code may have noticed a game update popping up after pressing start on the last Xbox Live Arcade title.
[...] A glitch that affected to some weird leaderboards entries has been fixed now, but Rare's George Kelion states that "two of the leaderboards will need to be reset to make everything fair and square again. Resetting the Bubblegloop Swamp [level] and Game Totals leaderboards is an essential but unavoidable bit of backroom maintenance."
[...] Following the release of Banjo-Kazooie XBLA we must also make reference to the new BK classic theme available on the Marketplace for 250 MS Points.
Both Rare classics will feature widescreen and twin-stick support.
Surprised to see so little activity when it comes to evercade news... its been a great retro platform. I know its emulation, but they still believe in physical media. I'm hoping they will do something special with the Doom release later this year.
Rare's 3D platformer, Banjo-Kazooie has been fully decompiled, and a native PC port with dual analog controls is now available.
Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto shares some praise for Banjo-Kazooie and says it impacted Ocarina of Time in resurfaced quotes.
Man this is the 1st Arcade full version of a game I've purchased. I remember playing this game such a long time ago. It's good to be able to play it again. Though it doesn't hold a candle to todays platformers, its nice for the nostalgia.
