Banjo Kazooie XBLA re-make is now Live for pre-orderers

By Jeremy Yerby | November 11, 2008

If you pre-ordered Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts at a participating retailer you should have gotten (or will get) a card which has the download code for the full version of the original game’s Xbox Live Arcade remake. Check with your local store for availablility. I’ve tried my code nearly every day for the past week (you know, just in case) and today I hit the jackpot and was allowed to download the game a full two weeks before its announced launch date for all you normal people. To redeem the code, go to the “Marketplace” tab and select “Redeem Code” and painstakingly enter the 25-digit alphanumeric code printed on your card. If you pre-ordered and didn’t get the code, check with your store and see if the cards have yet arrived. They arrived at my store over a week ago. Lastly, if you haven’t pre-ordered, what the heck is wrong with you? The game is only $39.99 and it comes with the fantastic original game if you pre-order (valued at $15 alone)!
