In early 2002, Nintendo shut down the site and made ''www.banjo-kazooie.com'' a redirect to the Nintendo website article about the game. Once Nintendo had sold Rareware and its characters to Microsoft around 2003 or 2004, the site was a redirect to the Rareware site. This continued for many years to come until 2008 when ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' was released.

The new website contains a forum, rankings of the players in certain challenges in the game, downloads, a "Fan Site Kit" which includes artwork and sound files and the game manual itself. It also includes a gallery where users with Xbox Live can directly upload the screenshots they have taken in the game to the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' website. The site can be accessed [http://www.banjo-kazooie.com here].
