Banjo-Kazooie

Banjo is a bear, Kazooie is a bird. They both work together. Banjo's first appearance was Diddy Kong Racing 1997. This is when Nintendo and Rare worked together. Now Rare works with Microsoft the company. So Nintendo dosen't have Banjo-Kazooie or Conker the Squirrel anymore. In 2003 thats the year when Rare had left Nintendo and worked with Microsoft. Kazooie's first appearance is Banjo-Kazooie made in 1998. Rare still had the opportunity to develop games on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance because Rare had a deal with THQ. So they made Banjo-Kazooie Grunty's Revenge and Banjo Pilot a racing game. They were gonna make Diddy Kong Pilot but Rare had left. Later in 2008 they made Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. It was different gameplay instead you build stuff and Banjo does not have his original attacks. He also appears in Sonic All-Star Racing as a Bonus Character on Xbox only. So far Rare hasn't made a Banjo-Kazooie game for 7 years. They may bring him back and their other old characters.
