Nintendo 64 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A sprawling sequel that trades the first game's tight worlds for sheer size, and a Rare platformer that still sits above the library's median price.

Banjo-Tooie is Rare's sequel to Banjo-Kazooie, published by Nintendo. It came out in North America on November 20, 2000, in Japan a week later as Banjo Kazooie 2, and in PAL regions in April 2001. Banjo and Kazooie return to stop the witch Gruntilda and two of her sisters, who plan to vaporize the inhabitants of the island setting. The worlds are significantly larger than in the first game, and there is a multiplayer mode for up to four players built from minigames repurposed from the main campaign.

GameFan's March 2000 news said Banjo would return on the N64 that summer, and its June 2000 issue named Banjo-Tooie on a list of N64 titles that would use Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. Reaction at release was admiring, with praise for the graphics and the scale of the worlds, though the inconsistent frame rate drew criticism. N64 Magazine's Mark Green found it a decent set of clever puzzles and run-and-jump moments but not as fresh or exciting as Rare's earlier platformers.

How it was made

Developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. Development began in June 1998, directly after the release of Banjo-Kazooie.

What the press said at the time

“What's most refreshing about Banjo-Tooie's enormous variety of minigames, bosses and character transformations, though, is that they're all incorporated into the trickiest puzzles ever to emerge from fiendish minds at Twycross.”
— N64 Magazine, February 2001

“Enjoyable enough, but lacks the spark we've come to expect from the folk down Twycross way. Go for Bad Fur Day instead.”
— N64 Magazine, May 2001

Before you buy

The US cartridge is one of the pricier loose carts of the library and the fake risk is medium, so ask for a photo of the board, which is the reliable test; a cart that boots proves nothing. A Not for Resale demo cart sells for much more loose; no published way exists to spot a fake one, so buy it graded or with a board photo. PAL copies cost more loose and about the same complete, while Japanese copies (Banjo Kazooie 2) cost far less. The Rumble Pak is optional.
