Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts getting fixed for SDTV owners

They always said the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and yet again that adage has proven true. After demo players of RARE's Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts found the text to be unreadable on SDTVs, word was passed on that the issue would remain in the final version of the game. Now, however, RARE's George Kelion has stepped in to announce that a fix is indeed in the works. To quote: "We would like to assure you that contrary to earlier reports, we are aware of the [text] issue and [are] currently working on a title update to be released within the next 30 days that will fix it for those with standard-definition TVs." Nice job raising cain, people.

Playing current-generation (or even last-generation) games on an SDTV...wow, those folks are missing out.

Shut the fuck up. Some of us can't afford an HDTV, but why should we have to miss out on enjoying Nuts & Bolts? I hope that Rare releases this patch soon...

We got our TV just before the HD age began. Sorry if it isn't our first priority to get the latest technology. Our first priorities are mortgages and taxes, not the best TVs

Jeez, calm down ladies. I'm not saying you are inferior people for not having an HDTV. I'm not saying you should neglect your mortgage and taxes for a better TV. I'm simply saying you are missing out (because you are). You'd be missing out if you stuck to black & white TV vs. color, or VHS tapes vs. DVD. No difference here.

Because this website is called "EngadgetHD," you should expect readers here to espouse the virtues of HD, if not flat out own an HDTV. Is this really out of the question? No reason to be so defensive or get offended. Sheez.

Despite the fact that this is a little kids game and maybe that means its more likely to be hooked up to an SDTV I still think pandering to the lowest common denominator is a big no-no.
