Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)

Banjo-Kazooie is a port of the game of the same name for the Xbox 360 as part of the Xbox Live Arcade. It was published by Microsoft in 2008 and made several minor changes to both the graphics and gameplay, as well as adding some extra content through Stop 'n' Swop. This version would later be included in Rare Replay and Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) service.

New Features

 * The game now has an online leaderboard.
 * Stop 'n' Swop, a feature originally scrapped in the original game, is now fully functional and works with both the Xbox Live Arcade port of Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

Gameplay

 * Musical Notes stay collected even after leaving a world or losing a life.
 * Instances of framerate drops have been almost entirely removed.

Presentation

 * The game compatible with High Definition Resolutions and a higher frame rate, compatible with up to 1080p, 60 frames per second.
 * The textures have been redone with much higher fidelity.
 * The game can now be natively displayed in wide screen.
 * All Nintendo references have been removed or replaced.
 * The dialogue is in a different font, Andy Bold, instead of Comicrazy.

Trivia

 * On release, a glitch existed where, if Musical Notes were collected by Banjo in Bottles' Moving Picture Game before they were obtained in the actual level, they would be permanently unobtainable. A patch was shortly released that fixed this issue.
