Nuts & Bolts and BK XBLA’s European release date
N&B marks the first dual region release
When we asked Rare yesterday about Nuts & Bolts‘ European release, the answer we got was “around a week after the US’ release.” Thankfully someone over there saw it differently for you guys and today we got a new answer.
As opposed to a week after November 14th, now the official release date for Europe is… November 14th. That’s right, for the first time in… well, ever, a Rare retail game will be released on the same day for both North America and Europe.
As for Banjo XBLA? Same deal as in America. If you don’t pre-order it, it comes out two weeks after Nuts & Bolts, while those that do pre-order it will get the game “around the same time as N&B,” according to Rare.
Good news all around for those in Europe worried that they’d once again be screwed over from the greatest Rare incentive of all time.

I really hope the pre-order bonus applies everywhere.

In Canada, apparently the game comes out on November 9th.

Do we know yet which UK stores will be doing the pre-order bonus or are all stores going to include it?
