An anonymous journalist released two images of Rare's mysterious Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts on an italian forum. Of course we were around and immediatly caught them. Here they are for your enjoyment, and we should have a lot more information coming very soon anyway.

Some people are saying that there's a third leaked image.
Anyway what we have here looks quite good, can't wait to see that water in motion.

Man! Who the hell turned on the troll machine today.... I remember I only played Banjo when I got bored with other platformers, but with the scarcity of good ones nowadays, anything is welcome. The artstyle looks pretty good.

Why's that? Because I was giving my opinion?

The manner in which you were giving your "opinion" was rude and obviously intended to piss people off. You weren't discussing anything in a thoughtful or rational way. Instead, you decided to just attack the 360 and its games. It'd be silly not to ban you.

So can we assume vehicles play a large part of the game, going by the two seperate vehicles in the shots and the area/shop or whatever it is called "Mumbo's nuts"?

Wow nice, Mumbo's Nuts haha. Looks a bit like LittleBigPlanet to me too, which isn't bad.

No they're not. My fondest memories of Rareware is their classic stuff--and I'm not talking about the N64 (which is certainly less hit-or-miss-but-mostly-miss as they are now). RC Pro-Am and Battletoads FTW.

Well that's just nostalgia then. Rare has been more consistent than even Nintendo over the generations. You didn't like Viva Pinata? What about Kameo? I actually think Kameo's gameplay is more interesting than some of their N64 offerings, as I dug the switching characters / powerup gameplay.

Stunning... I hope Rare release more shots where the characters and stages are more appreciable... we have to wait and see...

Colourful, hi-res textures, and a good amount of AA... also there´s deph of field implemented...

Rare... make my dreams come true!!!

Wow nice colors. Hope this will be better than viva pinata, kameo, or scruffy's(or sumthin like that) bad hair-day... I'm crossing my fingers and hope that it's a good platformer(it's a platformer right?)... And yes Grift, battletoads "roXXored". :B

I'd like to comment on giving one's opinion, but my spidersense (of the banhammer) is tingling in such a way, that i think it's wise to pass at this time...

Viva Pinata, Kameo and Grabbed by the Ghoulies are all easily on par with anything they released on the N64. Perfect Dark Zero has thus far been their only real disappointment, and to be fair it wasn't that bad, especially if you're a fan of Goldeneye/Perfect Dark. The problem was that it played too much like them and felt outdated, and it clearly suffered from being ported to several consoles back and forth.

Those 2 screeens look awesome. Rare is very competant graphics wise, they made decent 360 games, just nothing AA, but theres still time.

Perfect Dark was not bad, i finished it twice, a bad game i dont finish....

Well these screens don't excite me. I can't judge graphics nor is there much to see, so I can't judge the art style. Will wait untill I see gameplay. Kameo was a very medicore game, not bad in any way, just not very fun. Just hope with Banjo they'll improve on the gameplay so it's fluid...
