The game will feature slightly upgraded visuals and the long awaited "stop and swap" functionality originally promised at its release more than 10 years ago.
Many will remember that the first Banjo-Kazooie game promised to interact with Banjo-Tooie. That didn't pan out, but that feature will finally be realized on Xbox 360. By finding specific items in Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox Live Arcade, you will be able to unlock things in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.
Yeah to stop n swap and upgraded visuals. This game is already on my most wanted list!

It will be hilarious if the game shames Nuts and Bolts.

I really hope they do this with Perfect Dark too, but they probably won't.

I will give Rare the benifit of the doubt, Banjo-Kazooie was one of my favorite N64 games before Rare went right down the gutter hole. However, they've already proven that they only care about graphics and they whore out collect-a-thons to no end.
They could seriously whore this out in an upgrade to an N64 classic. Also, would X-Box gamers ever like an upgrade to a decade old N64 fan that originally was backed by Nintendo's core audience?

Yes, because Nintendo fans with 360s will need something to do in the mean time.

I might need to download this just for its interoperability with the 360 version and to finally get to play Stop 'n Swap!
Also, I wonder just how upgraded those visuals are....

It will probably have AA and run in progressive scan at most, I guess.

If they do the same with Perfect Dark, they could finally implement the mapping of your face onto the multiplayer characters.
