Banjo & Kazooie are a duo of heroes created by Rare. Both Banjo and Kazooie have seen many releases alongside Conker.

Development

Both Banjo-Kazooie and Twelve Tales: Conker 64 were both being developed by two different teams at Rare. Seeing how development for Banjo-Kazooie was going a lot better than Twelve Tales: Conker 64 was, and also due to the fact Banjo and Kazooie were universally loved and it would take a lot for Conker's game to be as popular, this is one of the reasons Twelve Tales: Conker 64 was canceled and reworked into Conker's Bad Fur Day.
