The '''''Banjo-Kazooie'' series''' is a series of video games created and developed by [[Rare, Ltd.]] The game stars two characters, [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]], with the main antagonist usually being [[Gruntilda]].

== History ==
The first game, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', was released on [[Nintendo 64]] in 1998. It received a sequel on the same system in late 2000, ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

In 2003, an interquel/prequel to the first two games, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]], and in 2005 a spin-off racing game, ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', was also made for the Game Boy Advance. Two ports of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|Grunty's Revenge]]'', called ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Mobile]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Missions]]'', were later made available in 2004 and 2005 as downloadable cell phone applications.

Although all four titles in the series were made for [[Nintendo]] systems, Rare was bought by [[Microsoft]] in September of 2002. This resulted in the next sequel, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', being published on the Xbox 360 was in late 2008 . In celebration of this release, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie]]'' were ported to [[Xbox Live Arcade]] shortly afterward.
