Am I able to buy Banjo Kazooie for Nintendo GC or Wii?

Question

I remember the game Banjo Kazooie on Nintendo 64 (it was fab) and wondered if it is or ever will be available for the Nintendo Wii (or alternatively the GameCube)? Have tried searching on play.com and the likes but no luck so far.

Answer 1

No, Microsoft currently owns Rare. Unless something like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro no longer being exclusive to Sony's PSOne and their others consoles, we won't see anything on the Wii/GC.



The games Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie are the only console games released so far, which as you know, were on the N64.



Banjo-Pilot and Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge were released on the GBA because they were still organising their contracts.

Answer 2

No, Banjoe Kazooie 3 is only coming out on the Xbox 360 and it's supposed to come out Late 2008.



Even though it's coming out on the Xbox 360, I wouldn't be surprised if Banjoe Kazooie 3 came out for the PC, because that's what usually happens to a lot of 360 game titles.

Answer 3

Nope. Rare (the company who made the game) is owned by Microsoft now, and I'm pretty sure that Microsoft doesn't want Nintendo reaping profits from a company that Microsoft owns. You can only play it on N64.

Answer 4

No to both, and since the third game is appearing on the 360 and is owned by Rare I'm guessing that they wont be appearing on the VC at all.
