Banjo-Kazooie Nintendo Switch Online Release Window Confirmed

The next Nintendo Switch Online N64 Expansion Pack game has a release window. We now know when Banjo-Kazooie will show up on the Switch. It will appear in every region in January 2022. So long as someone subscribes to the optional, more expensive version of the service, they’ll get access to it immediately at launch.

Banjo-Kazooie is a 3D action-adventure game from Rare. Banjo’s little sister Tooty ended up being kidnapped by Gruntilda the witch. They have to save her before Gruntilda steels here good looks. This means visiting different worlds, finding collectibles, and also setting additional captured characters called Jinjos free. The game ended up spawning two sequels, Banjo-Tooie on the N64 and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for the Xbox One. There were also two GBA games, Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge and Banjo-Pilot.
