Banjo-Kazooie: The Series was the first ever exclusive to be featured on Rare-Elite back when the site was first conceived on March 23rd, 2004. Nearly 40 episodes of the series had been written and debuted on the site at some point within the last five years. Today, we want to reintroduce the series to all of our readers as preparations are being made for brand new episodes to premiere.
To start things off is the first ever episode, Bear Meets Gull that tells the origins of how Banjo and Kazooie met. We hope you enjoy it and are looking forward to introducing the rest of the episodes along with new ones later this year.

Banjo-Tooie has finally arrived to the Xbox Live Arcade with full high definition graphics and implemented Stop N Swop features. A word from Rare….
This second outing takes place a couple of years after Banjo-Kazooie and several years before Nuts & Bolts, so it’s after Grunty got squished but before she got decapitated. Wait, that makes it sound like some kind of mental horror franchise. It’s not, honest. It’s a prime slice of fondly remembered large-scale 3D platforming, like Banjo-Kazooie but with more of everything. And optional Gamerpics.
We hope that those of you with knee-jerk reactions to the price point will pause for a moment to note what a vast and all-encompassing game it is, packed with epic levels and towering bosses and unusual split-screen multiplayer diversions, then maybe go a bit misty-eyed and relent in your grudging internet way. Especially as the game has been polished in areas ranging from a framerate boost to the inclusion of Stop ‘N’ Swop features linking Kazooie, Tooie and Nuts & Bolts together in mad unlockable harmony.
Hard to say no to that, isn’t it?
