While only the original 'Banjo-Kazooie' game was announced for Xbox Live Arcade very quickly during the Microsoft E3 2008 conference, it appears that 'Banjo-Tooie' will also be available!

According to the latest episode of the 1UP FM podcast, both classic Nintendo 64 games will be coming to the XBLA. While they weren't able to look at these games directly, they did learn that the famed Stop 'N' Swop technique will be finally utilized!

Stop 'N' Swop was originally something mentioned in the end of Banjo Kazooie, where if you bought the Tooie sequel you'll somehow be able to swap your carts or lock on your cartridges and unlock new areas usually unavailable in the game. Unfortunately, this was never realized and couldn't be done with the cartridges.

But now we have digital downloads, and we'll be able to Stop 'N' Swop with ease! This webpage on Xbox.com also mentions "The original Banjo-Kazooie also debuts with Stop 'N' Swop on Xbox LIVE Arcade later this year."
