Whether or not you liked the recently released Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts there is no question about it, the minute Banjo-Kazooie, and it’s succesor Banjo-Tooie, hit the shelves for the N64 they became instant classics.

Well, for those of you who didn’t receive the honor to grow up in the era of N64 (or if you just want to give the game another run through) now get a chance to play Banjo-Tooie.

While Microsoft originally predicted the game would hit sometime early 2009, Rare has recently refuted that claim giving the game an April release (re-release?) date.

A yet unannounced sum of Microsoft Points will get you the Banjo-Tooie Xbox Live Arcade port that will feature newly remastered graphics (to an extent) and improved framerate. Sign me up!
