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 more games based on ''[[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.
