Banjo-Kazooie

"Fans of the series and newcomers alike will enjoy platforming with Rare’s famous honey bear Banjo and breegull Kazooie as they fight to save Banjo’s little sister Tooty from the evil witch Gruntilda in their original classic adventure. “Banjo-Kazooie” launches on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, December 3 at 9 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PDT).

"When the evil witch Gruntilda discovers that Banjo’s sister Tooty is the most beautiful girl in all of Spiral Mountain, she kidnaps her to steal her youthful good looks. Banjo and his best friend Kazooie must team up in order to defeat Gruntilda and rescue Tooty from the witch’s grasp. At first, Banjo and Kazooie perform simple moves like running and jumping to collect jigsaw pieces, dubbed “Jiggys,” but as players progress, the bird and bear will learn new moves and abilities to help them fly, swim and fight to advance to new worlds and save Tooty."

We got the chance to play the game early through Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts preorder deals. I've now completely finished the game with all the achievements unlocked. I love me some platforming. Bring on Banjo Tooie!
