For those of you that don't know, Nintendo is currently in negotiations with Microsoft to buy Rareware back since mid-July of this year. A recent report reveals that if Nintendo is successful in the negotiations, Rare, as well as all their franchises, including Conker and Banjo Kazooie, will be integrated into Retro Studios, one of their divisions. Rumor says that Retro Studios already has the next Banjo Kazooie game made, and they're just waiting on Nintendo to close the deal on getting Rare back into their ownership to make the game official.

Now, me being the eternal optimist, believe that Nintendo could very well achieve this feat. Let's be honest, Rare hasn't been doing very well since they released that ghastly BK Nuts and Bolts game. All they do now is avatars and stuff, nothing really worth while. They're not making the same money they were making when they were making games for the SNES and N64. And to make things worse, Microsoft has forbidden Rare from making some of their best franchises, including Killer Instinct. So by now, the Rare peeps must know what's in their best interest and go back to where they started and redeem themselves.

So with that in mind, I took it upon myself to make a cover of what could be the first Banjo Kazooie game to be on a Nintendo console in over a decade.

And before anyone says anything, yes, I believe it will be called Banjo Threeie. No person in his right mind would accept Nuts and Bolts as canon.
