Is it Christmas yet? No? Well it sure feels like it.

Rare has just shocked the entire online world by releasing a video talking about how the mysteriously named Project Dream became Banjo Kazooie. This is incredibly important because this is the first time in 20 years that we’ve gotten more info on this game. Not only that, but the mysterious beginnings of Banjo Kazooie with a somewhat 2D look and a very odd looking giant’s lair have also been shown and explained. Check out the video below and fall in love with what could have been.

Exciting times for fans of Banjo Kazooie and Rare alike! Not only has the release of Rare Replay and development of Sea of Thieves signaled a return for the legendary company, but to top it off, they’ve been revealing Behind the Scenes secrets on some their most beloved properties. Yesterday, the company revealed that they are hard at work on more Behind the Scenes documentaries.One is on an unreleased co-op mode for Banjo Tooie entitled Bottles Revenge. Bottles Revenge was a co-op mode that would have one person playing as a devil version of Bottles the Mole; as he possessed enemies in order to stop Banjo and Kazooie from defeating Gruntilda. It was even going to allow the player to take control of bosses,but the mode was sadly abandoned. Oddly Enough the mode is still accessible using a Game Shark, but bosses can’t be controlled(video link of Bottles Revenge being played at the end of article.). The other video is a bit more interesting, as that one will focus on an unreleased 2.5D prototype of the original game. There are even hints that we could possibly get our first glance at gameplay of Dream, which was the first conceptual prototype of what would become Banjo Kazooie. Are  you excited for these videos?
