First off, I'd like to state,
If you do not want anything about Banjo-Kazooie 3 leaked to you, do NOT read this article!!! Banjo-Kazooie 3 has literally been known about since the credits of Banjo-Tooie. At the end of the game, both the main protagonists, and sub-protagonists are all playing hacky-sack with the antagonists skull, and she proclaims "just you wait until Banjo-Threeie..."
AGAIN, THERE ARE SCREEN SHOTS OF THE NEW GAME BELOW, I TOTALLY WARNED YOU.
So, you wanted to see the full versions? I applaud you, you're not missing out. The pictures really take the old Banjo feel, and completely build onto it. You'll see what I mean. Clicking the image will bring you to the image's full size, a whopping 1280x720, or HD quality.
Both screenshots appear to be from a level titled Nutty Acres, though whether or not this is true has yet to be confirmed.
I. Cannot. Freaking. Wait. This game is literally the major reason I'm buying a 360, because I grew up on Banjo-Kazooie.
The real buzzkill though, is that this is coming out on the 360. As you know, Banjo-Kazooie, and the sequel, Tooie, came out on the N64 almost 10 years ago. Then, two spin-offs, Gruntilda's Revenge, and Banjo Pilot came out on the
GBA. Because now that Rare is owned by Microsoft, the game that
should come out for the
Wii, is now coming out for the 360.
What doesn't make sense, is that the rumored Wiimote for the 360 may be designed specifically for Banjo-Threeie. This shows how much Rare believes this game should be on its rightful system, the
Wii.
Let's all thank
Rare Witch Project for finding this information for us.
