Xbox Studio Rare "Immensely Pleased" About Banjo-Kazooie's Arrival On Switch - Nintendo Life

It was a bittersweet moment yesterday when Banjo-Kazooie arrived on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service?

It's now been nearly 20 years since Rare was acquired by Microsoft, and almost 24 since the original Banjo-Kazooie game was released on the N64, if you're counting.

Leigh Loveday, a writer and designer who joined Rare in the '90s, has used the game's Switch Online release to reflect on the company's Nintendo era - noting how Rare was "immensely pleased" that it could team up with its old pal once more to bring the bird and bear to a new Nintendo generation:.

"The question of classic Rare games resurfacing for a Switch audience is one that people have been asking for a long time, so we're immensely pleased that we could work with Nintendo to bring the bear and bird to this platform.".

"In the spirit of preserving the game exactly as it was alongside the other titles available, this version of Banjo-Kazooie is the Nintendo 64 original as you remember it.

In addition to the kind words shared over on the Rare blog, here are some other messages shared by Rare and some of the team members who worked on Banjo-Kazooie:!

Will you be trying out Banjo-Kazooie on Switch this weekend?

What other Rare games from the N64 generation would you like to see make a return to Nintendo's hybrid platform?

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

Nintendo and Rare: awwww.

But boy howdy, sure would've been nice to have gotten the Rare Replay collection for those sweet XBLA visual upgrades...

I very much doubt the rumors of GoldenEye 007 coming to Switch are accurate, but that would be great - especially with online multiplayer.

I hope that Microsoft and Nintendo bring this relationship farther to the point where Rare is able to develop new and modern games for both sides

The majority of the n64 best games is made by rare i hope theres more to come

Man its never going to happen, but I'm I the only one that wants some kind of rare replay on the switch

Nintendo should’ve upped their 49% share to a majority stake in Rare when they were given first dibs to do so

And what other Rare N64 games do I want on the Switch?
