I just spotted this and I was amazed! Some site called GameRader got these 2 screenshots. Click Here (http://www.rarewitchproject.com/?id=1641) to check it out at Rare Witch Project. The name of this level of the two screens is called Nutty Acres.
Here are the two screenshots:

I still think that Banjo looks really screwed up.
-
What the hell?
Banjo and Kazooie in two huge ass machines? ROFLROFL.
-
I actually never expected a level like this but then again, it's Banjo-Kazooie and the series is pretty crazy.
-
This game is going to rock! Even if Banjo looks mentally retarded.
-
Is this game still X-Box 360 only? 'Cause I would hate to buy the X-Box 360 just so I can play it (well this and Ace Combat 6 but still). I'd most likely do it though.

Well Rare is owned by Microsoft :p It's like asking if Zelda is Nintendo only :p
-
Did I, I think I just...yep, I came.
Banjo Kazooie Three, beautiful in it's own way.

Apparently later in the game, you're supposed to find out why they look like that. I still think they should have stuck with the old look and updated it. I heard splitting up from Tooie is gone in this game.

No, you don't find out why they look that way. I'm pretty sure Rare said that they would explain why B&K look different on the site's Scribes. I like the new look, it really brings something new. Yeah, I loved Spliting up but I guess there might be more characters to control and more things to do. The game is supposed to have most of the moves back. Some moves learned in BT such as the split up won't be present. I'm pretty sure they will keep the Egg Aiming for in air, ground, and underwater.
-
0_o Wow... reminds me of fairly old CGI which is still, really amazing.
-
Meh, looks kinda !@#$%. I'll wait for videos (screenshots these days always look worse than videos :P)
-
I think it looks awesome! I wish I had a 360 :(
-
Indeed; I think they look awesome :P Also, I'm glad I own a 360 XD
-
Well I'm going to buy one for this game, sigh there goes another 200 bucks (and I already bought a Wii and a PS3 :P ).
-
I'm guessing the game will have something to do with creating things or something like that. After seeing these shots and looking at banjo-kazooie.com again, the games got something to do with cogs and stuff. Well, we got less than 2 days to wait for the teaser site to open.
-
I think it looks awesome. It's the reason I bought a 360, so it better be good.
I like that they're doing something new with the franchise, with the vehicles or whatever, and I'm sure it'll be the same crazy game as the others were. At any rate, it might suck, due to Rare's recent history with Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero, though I have high hopes it'll kick ass.

Well, ever since Rare left Nintendo, their games seemed to suck a bit but hopefully that's not the case with BK3.

I'm rather indifferent to the tweaks on character design, it's not like the old design had much to love in the first place

Thanks for lying to me about that. >.>

Well, Rare posted 5 different rumours on April Fools and one of the rumours is the correct one which means the story is in one of these 5 things. The answer will probably revealed on Tuesday but we can still discuss which is the right one. Personally, I think Rumour 4 is the correct one.
Rumour One: Banjo and Grunty team up against a new threat, falling in love in the process.
Sexy post-transformation Grunty makes a return and proves irresistible to our heroic bear, much to Kazooie's disgust. Can the mismatched trio defeat their fire-breathing foe?
Rumour Two: Kazooie is abducted by aliens and Banjo heads out to search the cosmos.
Partway through his low-gravity exploits, he discovers who's taken her... and it's a familiar face from the Rare archives who has been 'turned to the green side' by Grunty.
Rumour Three: Banjo and Kazooie travel back through time in pursuit of the witch's giant T.I.T.
Grunty drives her Time Interfering Truck back to before the bear and bird met. The duo must reintroduce themselves and relearn everything they know in a completely new way!
Rumour Four: Banjo comes out of retirement to stop his home being redeveloped into tower blocks and malls.
To end the struggle, a capricious higher power engineers a bear/witch showdown through worlds of the imagination – with Spiral Mountain's ownership deeds going to the victor.
Rumour Five: War comes to Spiral Mountain, and Banjo becomes a reluctant leader.
Ever seen a Jinjo Tank? Or Grunty's Grappling Grenadier Grunts? You will when you take on our innovative RTS-platformer hybrid campaign.

Remember Dinosaur Planet? And Kameo for GCN? Yeah... Rare's been having trouble since before Microsoft acquired them. Personally I think snatching up Rare was a bad decision on Microsoft's part.

Probably. It wasn't until the late 1990's with DP and Kameo though I'm pretty sure. I still wish Rare were with Nintendo though. I'm sure the games would still be good, lol.

It mainly looks like it's going to be 4 or 5. Most likely 4. But I think it would be cool to see 3 because you would get to play from way in the past before they new eachother.
I seriously don't like the look of those new vehicles. :-\
-
Yeah, and that's still before the MS buy-out. The point is Rare had a few great games and hasn't done anything since, regardless of who pumps money into them.
-
Back on topic, I'm starting to think that Mumbo's role in the game will have to do with vehicles. The first screenshot shows Banjo on a plane and Banjo on a boat in the second screenshot. The name "Mumbo's Nuts" gives us that fishy feeling about it and something else...

I'm thinking 2, 3 or 4. 5 just doesn't seem right for Banjo.

Guys, 8 more screenshots were leaked. Some featuring even more vehicles. It seems that the game does feature these vehicles. Underneath these screenshots are vehicles some website got I guess or somebody got them from the BK site, I dunno.

If wish there were an adjustable image tag then I would have had these image on here.
-
This game is starting to look like Banjo-Kazooie Kart.
-
I hope the Bear and Bird will still be able to transform. The fact that the game takes place 8 years after Tooie might have changed that. It's good to see Grunty as a head again, lol.
-
So what are you guys complaining about?
How do they look different? I don't get it...
-

I think they look fine. I could tell Banjo looked more blocky when I saw the screenshot with his arms up. I love the style of this game and I hope everyone would soon enjoy it.

(http://www.zfgc.com/forum/Smileys/takam/cool.gif) This was the only reason i got a 360.

It's the only reason I'm gunna get one except my brother wants it for other games as well. Well, we got to wait a day now for some more info on the game.
-
I sense Nintendo fanboyism everywhere. Seriously.
I got a 360 for the games on the 360. Not just because of Banjo-Kazooie. In fact, I play the 360 more than the Wii!
Anyway, this looks very promising... hopefully it turns out okay. This is going to be Rare's comeback!
Well, I want to get 360 for other games like GTA4 and Halo 3, but mainly for Banjo since BK is tied with Zelda for my favorite game series.

stupidest post I've seen in a while, Banjo Kazooie = Rare, not nintendo.. If you want to make sense, say you sense rare fanboyism everywhere.
-
I'm still curious about some things that Rare confirmed though. Some levels from Banjo-Kazooie will be in the game but they will be played a different way or something like that. Some characters from Banjo-Tooie like Mr. Patch, Welder, and Jolly Roger are back. Bottles teaches moves again, Jamjars is gone, Grunty has a new minion, Mr. Vile gets flushed down Loggo and Mr. Vile has grown, either Tooty, Brentilda, or googly-eyed vegetables are coming back (one of the three). I'm just curious about the gameplay now that Banjo drives and pilots vehicles. I'm sure it won't take away from the platforming gameplay but I hope they are in over their heads. I sure hope you can still transform and that Tiptup will have a cooler role in this game (Tiptup is back btw).
1000th post, finally! ::)
-
Darnit... The 360 has games that I want and this one looks like one I would like to get...
Let's see... Blue Dragon, Gundam Dynasty Warriors, Halo 3 (yeah), and this.
I coulda sworn there were more games I wanted that are X-Box 360 only or at least PS3+360 only.

OMFG BK WAS ORIGINALLY ON N64 BUT NOW ITS ON 360 AND ALL THE NINTENDO FANBOYS LIKE IT WHICH IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SO IM GOING TO POINT OUT THE FANBOYISM ANYWAY BECAUSE DOING THAT SOMEHOW MAKES ME INTERNET COOL
-
all those god damned fanboyisms that folowed finalfantasy onto the playstation!such nintendo fanboyisms!!!!

I found some new information. Seems the title won't be called Banjo-Threeie.
* Title: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
* Slated for a November release
* You create vehicles with parts you find around the levels.
* There will be 1,600 parts including weapons that you'll be able to attach to the vehicles.
* The town is called Showdown Town.
* Despite the large focus on vehicles it still features platform elements from the previous games like traditional platforming, tight rope walking and jiggy piece collecting.
* Showdown Town is 16 times larger than anything Rare has created before.
* Every level has a different intro. Nutty Acres begins with a credits spoof of 80's soap operas like Dallas.
* Note collecting is back and will act has currency that'll allow you to buy vehicle blueprints.
* Rare says there are 15 different challenges spread across 6 different levels. There will also be side missions.
* Building vehicles is basically like playing with Lego. You can always jump in and out of the vehicle editor and come right back to the game with the new design.
* Parts are easily placed and moved around. You don't have to worry about connecting the motor with the wheels for example. Just place everything so they stick together and don't get in the way.
* Vehicle designs can play a large role in missions.
* Physics are awesome in this game and everywhere!
* Pixel art
* Multiplayer is great fun with the ability to either chose from pre-fabricated or own vehicle designs.

I have to say, that is win.
Ontopic, that reminds me of treasure trove cove O_o
-
Should be good as long as all the driving/building doesn't eliminate too much of the platforming.
-
I just saw a gameplay video, and I understand now why Nintendo sold Rare.

Seriously, the game looked much better from the old trailer >_>
-
Mario gets decapitated at 01:56-01:58. I guess Rare is mad at Nintendo for selling them.

Rofl, seeing that Mario still puzzles me...

By the info posted, it looks like we're going to be seeing a new RTS-style Banjo. If that's the case, then... DAMN. I don't really like RTSes.
Except it's not going to be an RTS.

Rumour 4 is the real story. Rumour 5 is the RTS story rumour but it turns out that it is not going to be an RTS.
-
Holy !@#$% I want this game...
-
Rumour 4 is the real story.
And your source is?
-
I just saw a gameplay video, and I understand now why Nintendo sold Rare.
Angry and irrational fanboy is angry and irrational, as usual.
-
I don't know about you guys, but I still think it'd be pretty cool. Sure it probably won't be AS classic as the first two, but it should still be fun. I think it'd be cool to try out all these new vehicles. Perhaps they may have some levels where it's more or less "classic-fied" with no vehicles, but just straight up Jiggy collecting. I dunno...
-
I hope the vehicles and stuff don't ruin the game.
-
I hope the vehicles and stuff don't ruin the game.
That's exactly how I feel. They better not be really gay. :-\
-
Rumour 4 is the real story.
And your source is?
The Lord of the Games (aka LOG) is tired of the petty squabbling between Banjo and the evil witch Gruntilda (aka Grunty) over the years, and has arranged a showdown to decide the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain.
-
Hmm...I am a tad disappointed at the trailer...but I still want to play it. I'll refrain from judging it until it comes out.
-
Seems like a big departure from the previous two. Of course I couldn't be bothered to go through all the way to the end of either when I had the chance to play them, but I've watched some speedruns.
Either way I won't be able to get this game, so it doesn't matter, but I probably wouldn't buy it anyway.
-
Looks and sounds absolutely awesome.
The Mario sprite is interesting... it's the first time Mario has appeared on a non-Nintendo console. I wonder if Rare is allowed to do that? Anyway, indeed this game does sound awesome. The vehicle creating and maneuvering and detail of physics in the game is fairly cool. I'm happy to see regular platforming and jiggy and note collecting is still in tact. All Rare need to do is not mess up with any of these cool ideas. Oh please, don't mess up, Rare.
Oh, and "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" is kind of dumb title. It reminds me too much of Ratchet and Clank.
Also, November release date n___N. Can't wait to pick it up.
-
As soon as I point out that many of you seem to hate the fact that Microsoft bought Rare, I get persecuted. Makes alot of sense, doesn't it?
Yeah, the 360 is different from the N64. No getting past you, eh? They're not allowed to like the 360 just because of Banjo Kazooie? I may have implied that buying a console for one game was a stupid reason, but still. I did not say that. I pointed out the fanboyism and that makes me internet cool? I was not going for "internet cool", perhaps I was going for "stating my opinion". Next time someone does something you disagree with, don't !@#$% freak out. At least stay civil about this.
Also: Whoever said that "Rare =/= Nintendo" didn't understand what I said. At all.
EDIT: Nevermind, corrected about the RTS. I think I like this story!
one guy said he hates that he has to buy a 360 if he wants to play this game, now all of a sudden you sense nintendo fanboyism everywhere?
HAHA, NO, you don't have a leg to stand on you assuming !@#$%.
And I didn't understand what you said at all? no I assumed you were stretching reality to back yourself up, but it turns out you were just exaggerating like a fish thiiiiiis big.
swish, nothing but stfu
-
I found out about a new world called Banjo Land. Basically, it mashes up things from different levels from the old games. I'm gunna try to see if I can find the screenshot I was looking at of it. I guess Rare was right about some levels returning in a way you wouldn't expect.

I'm actually satisfied with the idea of making vehicles, it's a nice addition to the series. The fact that Kazooie wields Mumbo's "magic wrench" is something to laugh about but it is cool though.

Apparently it was a custom built vehicle. It's not going to be in the game, but you can build it on your own.
-
Well, I guess that shows just how much control you have over vehicle creation.

A couple days ago, some Rare fansites got an opportunity to talk to the head director of BK:N&B, Gregg Mayles.

???
How does that make any sense? Rare wasn't a part of Nintendo, ever. Nintendo never owned Rare. They had stock in Rare, but that's it. Back then Rare was 2nd party, sure, but why would they be mad about having more money and more power and flexibility for more creative control?
-
Rumour 4 is the one! It was on the new edition of the Pantsboard.
