Rare’s sequel to its beloved 1998 Banjo-Kazooie follows the fan-favourite bear and bird as they attempt to stop the evil witch Gruntilda and her sisters from vaporizing the island’s inhabitants.
Notably, this will be Banjo-Tooie‘s first re-release on a Nintendo system, following ports to Xbox 360’s Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox One via Rare Replay, as Rare and the Banjo-Kazooie series are now owned by Microsoft.
Banjo-Kazooie has been available on Nintendo Switch Online since 2022, so as of October 25th, you’ll finally be able to play through the classic N64 duology on Switch. A $63.99/month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription is required for these titles and other Nintendo 64 games on Switch.
