Eggstreme Easter Eggcitement

TooieLogo.jpg picture by Brothersic

Has an epidemic of rabbits been stealing chocolate eggs only to hide them around your garden in some kind of elaborate ruse? Well, that can only mean one thing… it’s Passover! Oh - and it’s Easter too. 

 

What with it being Easter and all, that makes it the traditional time for… Rare to put fresh Banjo trinkets on Xbox LIVE (yay!). Is it really a tradition, we hear you cry? Who cares! Just show us your appreciation.

 

As previously promised, a seasonally themed Banjo-Tooie teaser trailer will be available to download from Xbox LIVE Marketplace tomorrow. Just like the holiday itself, you’ll only be able to enjoy this multicoloured egg laden trailer from Friday April 10th to Monday April 14th. Make sure you don’t miss out, especially those of you that are especially fond of stopping and swopping.

 

Also due to materialise over the weekend are the two sets of equally provocative Tooie-themed Limited Edition Gamerpics – especially limited as they’ll only be available to take home for a few days.

 

Lastly, in answer to what is quickly becoming the question I’ve been asked the most in my life, classic Banjo-Tooie for Xbox LIVE Arcade is still scheduled to arrive later this month. Just hang tight and we’ll have more details for you really rather soon indeed.

 

All that remains to be said is to wish everyone a very happy Easter! (Chag Sameach, too Smile [:)])

like I said on the other post... I wish you guys wouldn't choose such income-unfriendly times for limited content like this....

I get paid on the 22nd.

and I also cannot afford to spend more than 1400MS points this month, 1200 should be enough for BT, but then I have Fable II's new DLC to deal with soon... and why can't the egg pics just be FREE if they are so limited? its uncool that people that don't have the funds at the times you decide to release content can't get the things some have been waiting throughout their childhoods and more for.

I think those pics are free. The premium theme isn't. The trailer's free too! Calm down, Vosh! It's gonna be okay! I think BT XBLA will be out around the 22nd anyway!

I'm really starting to get overweight from having all these Banjo-related edibles shoved into me in one single month! Happy Easter to you guys too!

If only they could keep this up month to month. Meaning we could be constantly getting new BK stuff. That would be a dream.

\ o /!

thanks for the freebies Rare!

but. on the other hand....
unlocked moves from the stop and swop eggs??!?!? I thought that was the EXACT same thing they did in Banjo Tooie PREVIOUSLY?

hhhhmmmm
or is it going to be that both games "eggs" and key "collabarate" with eachother? like the eggs from BK going to BT and vice versa and the Ice Keys (the shown "dark" one and the original) do something ELSE..... :D

The Mystery Is Coming Closer And Closer To A Close.

I laughed my butt off when Banjo said the 10 Years thing though (the easter trailer) XD

Happy Easter Everyone!

I forgot to add (and I can't Edit... X_X): if you download the Egg Trailer bewteen those dates, will you be able to KEEP it past those dates ( I assume so) but if you delete it you can't get it back, right?

I just wanted that clarified (and I'm too lazy to post on the forums these days, I have alot to do during the normal day)

Cheers.

Ok, I have a few problems with that trailer..sorry for keep commenting but I do.

1. Why do lines of the music randomly loop?
2. Banjo didn't put a full stop after one of his lines. This is extremely unprofessional.

Gargh, that new Banjo theme looks hideous without a widescreen TV. I can't even see the characters or anything in half the shots (eg Canary Mary's).
