It has been eight years since a new Banjo-Kazooie video game was made available for non-portable gaming consoles. Rare Ltd, the developer of the Banjo-Kazooie series, officially announced today that a demo for the latest game in the series, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, would be made available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The official release date for the game is set to Christmas 2008. The new video games marks the tenth anniversary for the series. The new game includes all the characters from previous games as well as somenew characters. Unlike previous Banjo-Kazooie games, this game utilizes vehicles to transport the two main characters around. Keep an eye out for that demo!
