We have no intention of doing any such thing, but some people out there might fancy a bit of dual-pronged Banjo action. This update is dedicated to them.

Should you pre-order Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, you will, through the generosity of your participating retailer, be given a code. A code which will let you download the original Banjo from Xbox Live Arcade (puzzlingly not through the Xbox Originals retro service) for nothing. Plus you'll also get it two weeks before the "general public" get their sticky, unwashed, saliva-covered hands all over it.

Which makes the sub-news "Original Banjo-Kazooie coming to Xbox Live Arcade" - giving you a sensational TWO news stories in the one update. PLUS! Playing through new Banjo will unlock "extra content and features in the Xbox LIVE Arcade game."

Imagine THAT.
