Will Yahtzee review Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts? Just wondering.

I don't know how often the man himself visits this forum, but I have seen no mention of the long-awaited real sequel to Banjo-Tooie on here or FullyRamblomatic. I don't recall ever hearing him reference the classic N64 titles in other reviews, but going by what I've gathered of his taste (particularly his love for Psychonauts, a favorite of mine as well), it seems he would be a fan of BK. Has this game not gotten the hero's welcome I so expected it would? After 8 years and two overlooked GBA titles, the bear and bird are finally back!
I'm getting an XBox 360 this Christmas along with this title, but I had assumed Yahtzee would give his two cents by that time. I've heard mixed reviews of the game, but the general consensus seems to be "It's nothing like the old games, but it's fun in its own right if you like making wacky vehicles," and from what I understand, the characters are just as witty and subtley naughty as ever, so that's a good plus to just plain fans of the series. Yahtzee's reviews are hilarious, and even if he doesn't care much for this game, I would still be delighted to see him put time and effort into putting it out there for better or worse. Hey, it can't be as displeasing as Fable 2.

Who wants to fill the newbie in this time?
Oh, of course, there's a no "suggestion threads" rule isn't there? Sorry about that, just figured it might get a little more recognition/discussion than simply emailing Yahtzee, like the poor guy doesn't get a few thousand of those every day.

Yahtzee doesn't actually visit these forums, he uses them like the Nazis used yellow stars of David: targets for who he wants to kill. Only without the anti-Semitic overtones. Or the Nazism.

Ah, that makes sense. Well, I mean no harm, I just thought I'd bring it up, in case any of you know something I don't. He usually gives some heads-up about upcoming reviews on his website, but no sign of BK, and you would think it major enough to be worth a review.

A couple of years ago I entered this competition that Rare had on their site, and as you can see, I won with my awful joke.
But that GBA game really was awful. Awfully awful. Maybe Microsoft made them do it.

Um...Yahtzee reviews games, this is a game, therefore Yahtzee will review this?

I wonder if he will review Yahtzee. The game that is.
That may cause a time paradox.
