Rare's press embargo for Banjo-Kazooie 3 is supposed to be lifted on Tuesday, allowing them to release screenshots and major info. But today quite a few screenshots of the game were leaked already. I do feel terrible for Rare that someone spoiled their surprise early, but as an obsessive fan who has waited for this specific game for over five years, I couldn't help myself from looking at them and nearly crying tears of joy as scene after glorious scene met my eyes. The game looks INCREDIBLE.

In one of the scenes, we can plainly see a character that was already confirmed to be in the game... it's our old friend JOLLY ROGER!!!! With a totally fabulous new look, and since I love the guy in all his glorious gay pride, I had to draw him. Immediately.

Check it out: [link] He's in picture 7. (EDIT: Or now, picture 10. I swear it was picture 7 last night, or maybe I was just high on nerdy ecstacy.) Also, that appears to be Big Al, the burger vendor from Witchyworld.

Jolly (c) Rareware, bless their hearts.
