'''''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''''' is the latest game in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]], taking place eight years after the events of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. It was announced at [[Microsoft]]'s X06 in 2006 at Barcelona, Spain and was released on November 11, 2008. <ref>http://play.tm/wire/click/1894716</ref> Before the name was finalized, the game was commonly referred to by fans as ''Banjo-Threeie''. It is the first game published in the series that is unaffiliated with [[Nintendo]], as it is exclusive to the [[Xbox 360]]. Many fans were disapointed with the game, as the gameplay features next to no relation to the original two games.
