E3: Stop N Swop Lives

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Many of you know by now that Banjo-Kazooie will be releasing this year on the Xbox Live Arcade and I’m sure you also know that Rare-Ware ended Stop N Swop before Banjo-Tooie on the N64 but it’s being revived for the Xbox 360 and this time we finally can swop. IGN reports that there will be a feature in the Live Arcade version of Banjo-Kazooie that will let you take some items over to Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for the Xbox 360, this means that we could possibly end up doing what several hundred thousand have been trying to do for the last ten years and that is swop the 6 eggs and the ice key to another game.

In other news, Banjo-Kazooie for the Xbox Live Arcade will feature 12 achievements for the game and online leader boards. Banjo-Kazooie will release for the Xbox Live Arcade later this year.
