"Nuts & Bolts represents Rare's first true from-the-ground-up entry into the current gaming landscape, and the result is a very, very interesting direction for the series." - 1UP (preview)
"It's been a long time since we've had a Banjo-Kazooie game from Rare, but it's coming this fall and seems like it'll do the franchise’s history proud. Not only will it bring the return of many of the series' wacky and colorful characters, but the gameplay looks like it'll be cool for the whole family to try out and enjoy." - TeamXbox (preview)
"While some part of us was disappointed to not be shown a classic 3D platformer in the vein of the other BK games, it was refreshing to see Rare innovate in this way and try to move the series forward." - GameSpy (preview)
"Clearly, much could still go wrong with something so new: Multiplayer balancing, performance, accessibility... but when failing is as much fun as winning in most other games, you suspect they may be on to something." - Wired (preview)
"We've seen and played new Banjo and haven't lost a single night's sleep worrying about the direction the bear and bird are going in. You shouldn't either." - CVG (preview)
"Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts looks like it will be a hoot to explore. The custom-made vehicles are obviously a major part of the game, and this feature will suck away hours of your life as you build then rebuild a range of machines to suit your needs. The single-player missions look like they'll provide a solid experience, and the riotous online multiplayer will be a great addition to the franchise." - GameSpot (preview)
"Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is a refreshing ride on a road riddled with cash-in sequels. And you'll only find this creative jewel on the Xbox 360 this November." - GamePro (preview)
"At the end of the day, it was easy to read the smiling faces of the other visitors: This is the game that we've been waiting for Rare to deliver since being bought by Microsoft. " - IGN (preview)

"When we were told that we'd not only get a look at Banjo's new quest, we'd get to play it too, we almost pooed our pants right there on the spot. Thankfully, we held on 'till lunch." - CVG (preview)
