Rare: No Truth Behind Banjo Motion Control News
The UK studio flatly denies rumours of motion control functionality in the upcoming Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts...
By Jon WilcoxPosted: 10/07/2008
In an industry where rumours and speculation is usually dealt with quotes of "...does not comment on rumours and speculation", today's response from Rare to whisperings of motion control functionality in Banjo-Kazooie is nothing short of a breath of fresh air.
Flatly denying the rumour, which appeared online yesterday, Rare representatives commented that:
"There's no truth to the Banjo motion control rumour. Banjo has been designed to be played using a gamepad from the outset.
"People shouldn't take rumours that gestate in comments sections so seriously. They can often turn out to be red herrings, as is the case with Banjo and motion controls."
Rumours of a Wii-remote-like controller for Xbox 360 have been floating around for months, with increased speculation that an announced could be made at next week's E3. Due for release on Xbox 360 this autumn, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts marks the first time the bear and bird duo have made an appearance since Banjo Pilot on GBA in 2005.

sorry i dont quite understand where you think nuts and bolts sucked i think the games awsome and very refreshing not the same old platformer (run jump kill a few enemys jumps some more) this is where platform games need to be heading, not going back in time otherwise they all play the same just having a different hero ie sonic mario (yes 2 different platformers but the actual gameplay hasnt changed all that much though mario is the better game by miles)

Will banjo kazooie 1 work for xbox 360 itself?
I need the game to unlock stop and swop in nuts and bolts, so i can complete the nuts and bolts game 100%.
If anyone tells me, Then i will reveal the answer to stop and swop. [i will! I figured the answer out long ago]
