The '''Banjo-Kazooie series''' is a series of video games developed by the UK-based company [[Rare|Rare, Ltd]]. The first game, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', debuted in 1998 for the [[Nintendo 64]]. A sequel was made in 2000 for the same system titled ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.
In 2003, an inter-sequel that takes place between 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 games based on ''Grunty's Revenge'', titled ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Mobile]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Missions]]'', were later made available as applications for download on cell phones.
Although all four titles in the series were made for [[Nintendo]] systems, Rare was bought by [[Microsoft]] in September of 2002. The next game in the series was therefore produced for the [[Xbox 360]]. That game, titled ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts]]'', was released in November of 2008. To celebrate this release, Microsoft and Rare also released updated versions of the original ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' in December 2008 and ''[[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Tooie]]'' in April 2009 available for download on [[Xbox Live Arcade]].
