Rare handed Evercade original source code for Banjo-Kazooie native ports, saving 9–12 months of work

Rare supplied original source code and unused materials to Blaze Entertainment's Evercade for native ports of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, shipping October 30. CEO Andrew Byatt said having source made a "massive difference," saving roughly nine to twelve months of reverse-engineering from assembly language — unusual involvement from an original developer in a third-party retro reissue.
