Update: Added eight new shots to the gallery.

The first screenshots from Rare’s forthcoming Xbox 360 title Banjo Kazooie 3 have unofficially hit the internet, mere days ahead of the Tuesday embargo date set by Microsoft. Visually, the game looks a hoot, sporting colorful and vibrant textures.

From looking at these shots though, it’s hard to make any sensible judgments in regards to gameplay. However, if recent rumors are to be believed, the game will utilize Microsoft’s long-rumored Xbox 360 motion-sensing controller.

We’ll find out more soon enough. Banjo Kazooie 3 will be officially unveiled at Microsoft’s press event on Tuesday.
