By Jorge Ba-oh 19.02.2007 7

Ahh good old Stop 'N' Swop, probably the biggest Rare game conspiracy.

Along with Devil Bottles in Banjo Tooie, of course.

It was a feature that never made it into Banjo-Tooie. There were some secret areas in Banjo-Kazooie, that when Rare finally released Banjo-Tooie, you'd be able to access those areas. They'd probably have done it by having Banjo-Tooie prompt you when to switch Banjo-Kazooie into the cartridge slot. But even to this day, the locked areas in Banjo-Kazooie remain... locked!

Would love to see the interview, but my computer is too crap to run videos. According to the blurb, they give more details on Banjo-Threeie, and talk more about Viva Pinata.

Viva Pinata looks like great fun, so it'd be nice if they were planning a sequel.

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

I assume people have managed to get into those areas though right? I mean... Glitches mean you can go ANYWHERE in most games, even places that don't exist

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society

There's actually some codes that you can enter in the Sand Castle in Treasure Trove Cove that'll open the areas. A Banjo site cracked out these codes through a Gameshark years ago!Smilie
