Marking the first time since the bear and the bird has appeared on a Nintendo home console since Banjo-Tooie\u2019s<\/em> release on the N64 back in 2000, Banjo-Kazooie<\/em> will release on Nintendo\u2019s Switch Online Expansion pack on January 20th.<\/p>\n

The classic 3D platformer was confirmed to be coming to the Expansion Pack last year, but its exact release date was unknown until now.<\/p>\n

While Rare did release a few Banjo-Kazooie<\/em> titles for the Game Boy Advance in the mid-2000s, the last main entry in the series was 2008\u2019s Nuts & Bolts<\/em> on the Xbox 360 following Microsoft\u2019s acquisition of the developer. Banjo Kazooie<\/em> and its sequel Banjo-Tooie<\/em> are also part of Rare\u2019s collection of classic titles for Xbox consoles, Rare Replay<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With this latest Switch re-release, it seems Nintendo and Microsoft have come to some sort of licensing agreement regarding the iconic characters. For added context, Banjo and Kazooie were added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> back in 2019.<\/p>\n
