Banjo Kazooie on Xbox Live looking nice in high-res

If you missed my previous post about how Nintendo 64 classic Banjo-Kazooie is due out on the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) on November 26, you may not care much for the adventure starring a goofy bear and a sassy bird. Well, you’re crazy, because the game looks amazing – CVG reported that the already gorgeous N64 graphics have been upgraded, so the game is reportedly running beautifully in high resolution. Plus, it features a “stop n’ swap” – famous for its underutilization in the game’s sequel, Banjo-Tooie – as a means of opening secrets in the upcoming Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts on the Xbox 360.

So, if you read that previous post, you already know the game is one of my all time favorites. I don’t understand all the Rare hate that’s been buzzing around lately – this game is 100% awesome, and a misstep or two (ahem, Grabbed by Ghoulies) is no reason to doubt the developer’s talent.
