Rare is reuniting Banjo the bear, Kazooie the bird-thing, the evil witch Gruntilda, and other fan-favorite characters from the series and giving them high-definition makeovers. Though most of the original team has moved on from Rare, the company is aiming to retain the series sense of humor and charm.
This will be the third proper installment in the series. The original Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie were N64 titles, but the duo has also made appearances on the Game Boy Advance and wireless phones.
