Banjo-Kazooie arrives on Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo has recently announced that the Nintendo 64 classic Banjo-Kazooie is now available to all Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members.

The original Banjo-Kazooie game was released on Nintendo 64 in 1998 and was developed by Rare. In the Banjo-Kazooie game, players will venture forth with the titular pair on a journey that will take them from the top of Spiral Mountain, along the shark-infested Treasure Trove Cove to the icy hazards of Freezeezy Peak and back.

According to Nintendo, this marks the first time Banjo-Kazooie has appeared on a Nintendo system in over 20 years. The title made its way onto Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online library – available to everyone with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

Embark on a wild quest with an unlikely pair! The adventures of Banjo and Kazooie begin here!
