MTV's Multiplayer Blog recently sat down with Banjo-Kazooie creator Gregg Mayles to discuss Peter Moore's recent comments about Rare's lack of relevance in the current gaming landscape, as well as a number of other topics.

Chief among these other topics was the subject of reviving franchises other than Banjo-Kazooie, which returns in the form of an Xbox Live Arcade port of the original game, and the all-new Xbox 360 exclusive, Nuts and Bolts.

“I wouldn’t say we’ve gotten a set of agenda that we’re now gonna do that same process on every one of our [intellectual properties],” said Mayles. 

“I think for ‘Banjo’ it was the right thing to do. For some of the other IP, the right thing to do probably is not look at them again. Maybe the right thing to do in the future for some of them is to look at them again.”

“But what we’re not gonna do is just say ‘okay, there’s this kind of vocal, fairly small vocal minority of real die-hard fans out there that want to see KI, so therefore, we should be doing KI.’ That’s not how we’d approach it,” he concluded.
