i must say i allways like BK
i hope there will come a free demo or a free game for the wii
or maybe an entire game

Nintendo doesn't own them, Rare does. rare had a contract with Nintendo, then Microsoft bought Rare. So no Nintendo no longer owns any of the Rare franchises.

Though Rare was a second party to Nintendo, so Nintendo somewhat owned them and anything created while they were under Nintendo was also owned by Nintendo except Rare owned the copyright for the content. So technically, just like the issues with Goldeneye, Nintendo still owns Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie no?

Nintendo owns DK, not B-K, if they did, B-K:N&B would be on wii instead of 360. Not sure about all the legal stuff, but i know they don't own b-k

Does anyone know of some really good, upbeat Nintendo songs I could play? I can't find any good ones. And I don't want them to be super-hard/-fast, etc..

this one is amazingly awesome:
Windy: Conker's Bad Fur day/Live and Reloaded

it's upbeat, catchy, and awesome. That's the remade version, the original was on N64. Recommend that one

What happened to the Piano Videos sub-forum?

You're not putting your reading eyes on. Nintendo doesn't own the copyright to the Banjo-Kazooie franchise or the characters, but I'm pretty sure that the two first games, because Rare was owned by Nintendo, are under Nintendo's name because they published the game (same way a label can sue people for downloading an artist's album). The franchise itself is owned by Rare so they can do whatever they want for the future games (same way an artist can go to another label if he wants to). To prove my point, the Nintendo logos will still be in the XBLA versions. So Nintendo probably said sure you can let people download it, as long as we can put Banjo-Kazooie on the Virtual Console and you keep the Nintendo logos.

well that makes sense, but i'm not entirely sure (gamer might know). So the same would apply to Conker's Bad Fur Day right?

Fat chance you'll ever see that game on a Nintendo console again.

so its true that there is a BK game for the 360

[KefkaticFanatic]

...there has been one in production for some time now.  And the first game is going on the Xbox Live Arcade.
