The new Banjo game for GBA, after months of silence from Rare, now has a publisher, and a US release date!

After Microsoft bought Rareware, it was announced that Rareware still had ties with Nintendo and would produce GBA games. Yet since the sale we have heard next to nothing on any Rare games, including the highly anticipated Banjo Kazooie. Yet now, it seems, there is an answer to our prayers.

Rare have now confirmed that THQ will be publishing the game, and the release date was said to be 15th September 2003 for the US, with no UK date just yet.

EB Games have also confirmed this information and have the game up for pre-order.

So, Rare GBA games are back on track, then. Better start saving...
