Comparing the footage from this trailer with the footage of the XBLA arcade port of #BanjoKazooie , it's clear that the NSO version is of the Nintendo 64 rom and not the Xbox Arcade version. The trees in the XBLA version are sharper and less jagged.

Though Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge is an isometric 2D platformer, the collision that the characters walk on are actually 3D blocks and wedges to carefully and accurately allow accurate 3D platforming on the system.
