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]].


The '''''Banjo-Kazooie'' series''' is a set 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]]''.
== 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 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 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 applications for download on cell phones.
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. 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, both of which are currently available for download on [[Xbox Live Arcade]].
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.
