Gregg Mayles to answer BK fans today
Your opportunity to ask Nuts & Bolts director
Ok, the big exciting day has past and gone. You have already seen the screenshots, the artwork, the trailers… You should have also read the interviews, the profiles and several hands-on by this time. But probably, as a hardcore Banjo fan, you still have lots of questions. After all, you don’t see a brand new gameplay proposal, like the one that Nuts & Bolts has to offer, every day, do you?
So here is the deal. Rare has granted all the Rare fansites with an exclusive live-chat with the creative boss of the company and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts director, Gregg Mayles, today. The event will count with only one representative of each fansite, these being MundoRare, The Rare Witch Project, Donkey Kong Universe, Perfect Rare, Rare-Extreme, NewRare, Banjo Universe, Spiral Mountain and Roysten’s Fishbowl.
You can post your own thoughts and questions about Nuts & Bolts (please, avoid any Piñata comments for the moment) right here, by just leaving a comment in this news article.
But, please, try to focus on the important stuff. Bear in mind that we are several sites, interviewing a single man with over an hour of his time to pay attention to the whole fan community, just before getting back to his busy agenda (remember that Banjo was brought forward from Xmas to November).
The chat will take place at 8.30pm CET (7.30pm in the UK), so you have time until then to express yourself.
Update: The feature with the complete interview is finally online!

Comment by RARE uprising — 14.May.08 @ 2:32 pmThe action in the game is solely inside vehicles or does Banjo walk, jump and attack on his own, like we’re used to see?
Comment by GFH — 14.May.08 @ 2:47 pmPlease tell me that the musical notes will work the way they did in Banjo-Kazooie rather then the way they worked in Banjo-Tooie.
Comment by Grant McLachlan — 14.May.08 @ 4:33 pmBeing brought up on both Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie, I begin to wonder whether Nuts & Bolts will be the last game in the Banjo series? Is this so?
Comment by JOR — 14.May.08 @ 7:21 pmAt any point in the game will we be able to explore Spiral Mountain? Also, are there still going to be Stop ‘n Swop refrences in Nuts and Bolts? Thank you.
Comment by Mr.Patch — 14.May.08 @ 7:32 pmWhy did you make the decision to remove most of Banjo & Kazooi’s basic moves? The 2 of them working together to create moves was something which made the game stand out and made it a fun and unique experience.
And sorry but I have to ask, is there any hope of a more traditional banjo game ever coming out? I’m not asking will you make one, but wether, is it an option or have you guys decided to move on?
Comment by Jindrich — 14.May.08 @ 8:24 pmHi, 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?

Comment by RARE uprising — 14.May.08 @ 10:48 pmQue 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.
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?

How big is the biggest vehicle the player can build? (How many components it contains max?)
