    I got some questions I’m wondering about.

    1. Since Spiral Mountain is back, is it still beat up like in Tooie or did it get repaired so it looks like BK again? If it’s repaired, will we be able to travel through Grunty’s Lair again? If it’s still destroyed, will a path to Jinjo Village be open (I know Isle o’ Hags isn’t in the game) and is Banjo’s house still destroyed?

    2. Will the game start off at Spiral Mountain like the other games? I’d love to get used to the old Banjo feel from the beginning again.

    3. This is a bit of a spoiler for some. I noticed a picture on some site of a level called “Banjo Land” and it had elements from different levels from previous games. Is this what you were talking about for the old levels before? Will parts of old levels be in this level of the game?

    4. I’m guessing with the vehicles, a majority of the old abilities will not be back. Does this mean that Kazooie can’t fly, no spring disk pad (green pad w/ Kazooie’s foot)? Also, will all the standard moves like Talon Trot, rolling, be gone as well?

    5. Will the Breegull Bash from Tooie be back? Awesome move by the way!

    6. Lastly, do you think you can tell us more about Grunty’s new sidekick?

    Que le paso a los huevos, a las plumas, y a los paneles de volar y saltar. T.T
    pork destrulleron la imagen y esencia de banjo,
    la cosa es explorar el mundo metro por metro, a pie( o kazooie) y no en veiculos, o si no k chiste.
    La pregunta es ¿ Que paso con los items elementales de banjo?

    NINTENDO RUUULZ
    Banjo Comen back to nintendo, only banjo, Rare Stay with microsoft ¬¬

    pero la mas importante
    Este es el verdadero Banjo-Threeie, ? pork podria ser un subtitulo de un juego de banjo. y el banjo threeie saldria despues. como al verdadera conticnuacion de Tooie.

    Hi, well my questions are:
    1.-Is there any posibilities to made a Banjo-kazooie for NDS???
    2.-Why you have change the game a lot of the original concept? because i have had waiting an extensive plataform game like banjo-kazooie or tooie for more than 5 years
    3.-In the adventure will we be able to fly with kazooie or only with the ariplanes?
    4.-All the items of the past games will be back in nuts and bolts?
    4.5.- Kazooie will use the gold feathers again?
    The last question: 5.-Kazooie will have a very important role in the game like in banjo kazooie and tooie or her only duty will be repair the vehicles and collect items?
