Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge is the third installment in the Banjo-Kazooie series and the second in chronological order (in terms of the point of the beginning and end of the game - in fact, as time travel plays a significant part in the plot, most of the action takes place decades before Banjo-Kazooie). Developed by Rareware and published by THQ, it was the first Rare game released after being purchased by Microsoft from Nintendo. Ironically, it was for the portable Game Boy Advance (a Nintendo handheld), and the first Banjo-Kazooie game only licensed by Nintendo. The game used an overhead platform design similar to Conker's Pocket Tales to replicate the 3-D feel of the console entries in the series but on a smaller scale. It is the first Banjo-Kazooie game that was not released in Japan. [source:wikipedia]
