Banjo's backpack beckons once more for wisecracking Breegull Kazooie. Luckily, any blustering that she might have done over her confinement is blown away as soon as she gets her feathers on Mumbo's magic wrench, and all the responsibility that comes with it.

>Kazooie's appearance is visually different from previous games in the Banjo-Kazooie series, as she has a larger plume of feathers and looks more feminine than her earlier basic cartoon-bird form. In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, she will act as the vehicle parts collector, wielding a series of tools tentatively called "Mumbo's magic wrench," which fires a yellow beam that can lift objects and place them into certain positions. The wrench also allows quick modification of the playable vehicles within the levels. It is pointed out that she will lose her cruel behavior because of the responsibilities of the wrench

I don't mind her appearance change, but completely changing her personality and moves is extremely unecessary. I thought Gregg said that she would bitch about her lack of moves in the game? I hope that the quote from Rare's website is just misleading somehow, because removing her moves is one thing, but taking away the character's personalities? If the characters don't have their personalities or moves or anything from the previous games, what exactly makes this a Banjo-Kazooie game?

Ask yourself this: Why would Rare change Kazooie's personality?

Exactly. Problem solved.

This is the same exact issue with the whole motion control thing. Somebody said something weird and all of the sudden there's a motion controller being used in Banjo-Kazooie. Really, there is nothing to be concerned about. We have no cold hard evidence saying that Kazooie will be dull, so why even talk about it. And even if, IF, Kazooie was dull and different, she's not the entire game. You've got Grunty's rhyming taunts to look forward to!
