Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Xbox 360 Gameplay (2008)

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is an action-adventure video game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The third instalment of the Banjo-Kazooie series, it was released for the Xbox 360 worldwide in November 2008. The game takes place eight years after the events of Banjo-Tooie, and marks the return of series antagonist Gruntilda, who plans to take over Spiral Mountain. In order to defeat Gruntilda, series protagonists Banjo and Kazooie must compete in a set of vehicle-based challenges.

The game revolves around vehicle construction, in which the player must design their own vehicles ranging from automobiles, motorbikes, boats and aeroplanes. Gameplay itself is centred on completing a series of challenges depending on the specific vehicle, although some parts of the game retain platforming traits. Development of the game first began as a remake of the original Banjo-Kazooie, although a game which involved "more traditional platforming" was conceptualised. Eventually, the project evolved into a construction-orientated game which was inspired by connecting Lego blocks.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts received mixed reviews upon release. Critics were largely divided over the concept of vehicle-orientated gameplay, however some critics praised its mechanics and innovation. The game sold a total of 140,000 units by the end of 2008 in the United States. The game has also achieved "Platinum Hits" status, which means it sold at least 400,000 units during its first nine months of release. In 2010, the game was included as one of the titles in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. The game is also included in the Rare Replay retrospective compilation, released for the Xbox One in 2015.

I played that game 8/9 years ago last time. I suppose I'll never find it again but my dreams came true. Best feeling ever guys

Nobody:

Microsoft: let's replace Banjo Kazooie with cars!

[yoshidex]

"We have been in many games before!"
"Not as many as the Italian gentleman"

Damn...

[guillermogazanol]

Fat banjo : exist
Wario: i'm a joke to you????
Me: yes

[zachnewby]

The car idea's good, but cramming it into Banjo-Kazooie and totally disrespecting the previous games was a terrible idea.

[zacharykubas]

Tbh, I actually grew up with this version. So I actually like the game, but I'm sure the original is much better.

I liked making Vehicles and then testing them in that test track,

Planes where the best, I made a really fast one

[melmardiamond]

I used to play this game on my uncles xbox 360 when I was a kid. Good memories.

[GalaxyPolar]

I love how in this gameplay at 33:00, you actually thought you could customize the Trolley and kept messing with it and going back and fourth into the workshop confused as hell. 😂

[aRandomwacko]

Some people loved this game back in the day, some people hate it for ruining the banjo kazooie formula, enough Said

[moisespeguero]

Ngl the soundtrack is actually pretty damn good

[qube]

Nuts n Bolts is actually a really great and unique game. Everyone would like it if Banjo-Kazooie was out of the picture, but either way, it's still good.

[slyflyaquafy]

Ya ok no, i'm not trying to get nightmares man
Kazooie's design is literally my sleep paralysis demon

[deadbeatnetwork]

Unpopular opinion, but I kinda like Mumbo's design here, it looks like he moved to a city, and now is a city folk.

[jojorama]

this game wouldnt have been all that bad if it weren't for that nightmare-fuel design of banjo and kazooie

[alanbrtop]

this game is mad fun, if u forget it is banjo kazooie it is just a ride of fun

[olly]
