First Banjo-Kazooie 3 shots emerge

The first images from Rare's upcoming Banjo-Kazooie 3 (said to be called Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts) have been leaked online, showing off the art style and a vehicle creation screen for the very first time.

As we reported last week, Microsoft is rumoured to be showcasing this year's Christmas line-up tomorrow at a North American media summit.

Banjo 3 was tapped to be unveiled, along with Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. Unfortunately for Microsoft, the bear has jumped out the door prematurely.

It's not all bad, though. As you can see from the screens we nabbed from NeoGaf, the game looks set to be not only a lot pretty than previous Banjo games, but a little different to your usual platformer.

We'd like to point out that this isn't a Banjo kart racing game even though most of internet seems to think it is.

A spokesperson from Rare told us, "People haven't seen the half of it yet and we'd rather people wouldn't draw their own conclusions until Rare's had a chance to properly talk about the game."

They'll get their chance tomorrow at 5pm (BST). Be there (here). We can't say any more than that. But check back tomorrow.
