XBLA: Banjo Kazooie XBLA Delayed, Bonus Cards Troubles

bkxbla.jpg

Microsoft have revealed to 1UP.com that the Xbox Live Arcade version of Banjo Kazooie has now been delayed on Xbox Live Arcade. The game will now be released on December 3rd.

The delay has been attributed to the problems some retailers have been having with preorder cards. Some stores in North America have not been able to get any of their cards, or not enough to fill their pre-orders. MIcrosoft hope to rectify the situation as soon as possible. To give those who have yet to receive the code their two weeks of playtime before release, the game has been delayed an extra week.

Which is fine by me. Most other players will be picking up Street Fighter II HD Remix anyhow.
