Thanks to Nintendo, retro gaming fans will be able to relive yet another classic: 1998's Banjo-Kazooie.

Available through the Nintendo Switch Online service, the iconic N64 title has now been ported for the Japanese gaming giant's beloved handheld console starting tomorrow. For those unfamiliar, Banjo-Kazooie is a vibrant action game featuring the two titular characters Banjo, a Honey Bear, and Kazooie, a Breegull. The two are tasked with rescuing Banjo's younger sister Tooty, who was kidnapped by a wicked witch named Gruntilda. Throughout the levels, you'll journey through magical environments from Spiral Mountain and Treasure Trove Cove to Freezeezy Peak and more.

For fans of the original Banjo-Kazooie, check out the new trailer above while you wait for the port's release on January 20.

Elsewhere in gaming, a modder has managed to run PlayStation 1's Tomb Raider on a Game Boy Advance.
