Fresh off the announcement that folks who pre-order Xbox 360 title Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will receive a redeemable voucher code to download the original Banjo on XBLA, developer Rare has revealed that a demo of Nuts & Bolts will hit the Live Marketplace before its scheduled November 14 release. From lead programmer Salvatore Fileccia:

We’ve got various different ideas. I think all the leads on the team all have their own idea what the demo should be, and it obviously makes sense for the demo to happen before the game ships. We all feel that it’s essential because the game is so different.

According to Fileccia, expect it to be a variation of the same four challenge demo that was on display at E3. Rare also plans to include a small portion of the game’s built-in editor, which allows players to build and fully customize their own vehicles.
