E308: Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts media attack!

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts marks the return of the beloved N64 platform duo, exclusively on the Xbox 360. Today during the Microsoft press conference, Rare unveiled a new trailer (embedded above) for the title and Microsoft released a stockpile of screenshots and rendered artwork. Could Banjo Kazooie answer Microsoft's platformer mascot questions? Wait, did Microsoft have platformer mascot questions? Anyway, the game looks great so far but we must repeat something we mentioned earlier that's twice as awesome -- the original Banjo Kazooie is coming to Xbox Live Arcade! Sweet.

The original BK coming to XBLA is no big deal for those of us who've still got our dusty old N64 gear and a stash of carts in the hall closet! Nuts and bolts, on the other hand, looks fantastic...

Does this mean achievements for XBLA Banjo? If so, I'm sold.
