Banjo Kazooie coming to XBLA later this year

I would imagine very little.

Isn't Banjo a wholly original franchise? Almost.

Wasn't Nintendo the one holding them back from releasing this, along with Goldeneye, because of the N64 label? I wonder what kind of deal Microsoft cut with them? Will we see Goldeneye on the Virtual Console exclusively? Will we see BK on the VC as well? Or will Nintendo just get 50% of profits?

Nintendo published. In other words, Nintendo took the risk and funded the entire project, and also controlled the production schedule. They also paid for all the advertising and marketing, as well as printing, and paid for the shelf-space.

So I'd imagine Nintendo is being cut a deal, unless it was in the contract that said otherwise, but developers typically get screwed in contracts.
