Banjo-Tooie’s Achievements online

Take a look at what you’ll be earning very soon

A week has gone by, and as a bunch of folks observed, there was no announcement on LOG’s Lost Challenges. Instead, there’s an edit saying that it’ll be “out there soon.” In that case, let’s go on to the latest set of news: Banjo-Tooie’s XBLA Achievements. In list form, no less:

Knocked Out Klungo – (20G) He’s out for revenge; not once, not twice, but three times. You need to beat him once.
Treasure Hunt – (20G) You’ll probably end up with many more, but to achieve this you need just one of each.
All Beaten Up – (20G) Kill any 20 bad guys with any of these attacks: Mumbo’s wand, your Pants Attack or the Daddy T-Rex.
A Merry Old Soul – (20G) You’ll find Old King Coal in Chuffy’s boiler and he’s a bit on the grubby side. Scrub him out!
Hatch the Future – (20G) Separate our heroes for the first time, or hatch a Banjo-Kazooie Stop ‘n’ Swop Egg with Heggy.
Calamari Bonanza – (20G) Don’t be suckered! You’ll have to freeze every single octopi.
It Lives! – (15G) Miracles do happen! Bring Sabreman back to life.
After The Storm – (10G) Ahhhh, a pretty rainbow. You did that, you old softy!
My Nemesis – (10G) Do it properly this time! Get rid of Grunty and save us from her rhymes. Off with her head!
Points Make Prizes – (15G) Balloons of any color will do, get 60 points worth or more and you’re a winner… sort of.
They think it’s all over… – (15G) Win a Colosseum Kickball final. The worst scorers rule at this game, so you should be good at it!
Shoot Em Up! – (15G) It’s great fun exploding these little lovelies! Any 20 Ulcers, Clinkers or Mines will earn this.

Judging from this list, it’s, dare I say, an easier set of Achievements than BK XBLA’s were, particularly due to the fact that there’s no “Beat Canary Mary Twice” Achievement. Regardless, you can judge for yourself when BT XBLA hits the Xbox Live Marketplace “in (late) April”, according to the most recent comments from Mike Wilson over the official BK forums.

In the meanwhile, stay tuned for an exclusive Tooie XBLA interview at MundoRare in the coming future… as soon as Microsoft lifts the implicit embargo over the BT info one of these days.
