Banjo Tooie XBLA Gets Release Date

1
4J Studios' downloadable Xbox 360 port of Rare's Nintendo 64 platformer Banjo Tooie will hit the online Xbox Live Marketplace on April 29, Rare announced today.

The Xbox Live Arcade release delivers enhanced graphics and a smoother framerate over the Nintendo 64 original, along with support for the fabled Stop 'n' Swop feature.

No word yet on pricing, that'll have to wait until the release is a bit closer, but it's worth noting that 4J's downloadable port of the first Banjo game, Banjo Kazooie, is $15.
