One of 2008’s most pleasant surprises was just how approachable and engrossing Rare’s N64 original Banjo Kazooie felt on its Xbox Live Arcade release — it ended up being one of my year’s most played XBLA games.

Now, in an expected but still surprise announcement, Rare has updated their ‘Banjo Blog’ with news that a similarly hi-rez version of its sequel, Banjo Tooie, is headed to the service in April, “appropriate since Easter is the designated time for hunting multi-coloured eggs.”

Fans of the original will also be happy to hear that, finally, the game’s original “Stop ‘n’ Swop” feature will be properly implemented, saying “the Stop ’n’ Swop items collected in Banjo-Kazooie will ‘magically’ appear in Tooie, resulting in… well, you’ll just have to find out.”
