we should bring them back. It's a spinoff of the DK series, and we take care of the DK series and it's spinoffs. Mario has DK. DK has Banjo and Conker

No.

[Naesala]

to bad they are owned by Rare, and Rare is owned by microsoft so it wouldn't be on a
Nintendo system

Nintendo and Rare (with Microsoft's support) went to court to see who gets what characters from the Rare Franchises.

Nintendo essentially got any character it already had  from before the DKC (like Donkey Knog), along with some related characters (Diddy, Kranky, Tiny, etc.).

Rare got the completely original characters that their company came up with for said games (Banjo & Kazooie, Conker, etc).

I don't know who got K. Rool.

ah, I didn't know they went to court over it but from what I understand Nintendo got Donkey Kong and all characters related to him, e.g. Tiny Kong, Kremlings including King K. Rool

works for me.

I still hate the Xbox 360 and Microsoft for buying over Rareware. (well, except for the computers thing)

[Member#36]

Well, as long as Mario, Link, and the staple characters stay with Nintendo, I'll be fine.  If, in some harsh reality, they are spit up, I will only be a litle upset as my only concern would be that Microsoft might **** up the games.

Keep in mind, the offer was made to rare, but it was rare who decided to take it. They sold the controlling stock to Microsoft (without notifying Nintendo), and since Nintendo did not want to share things with Microsoft, the company sold it's share as well.

At least, as far as I know.

The problem is that there seem to be several stories how the company changed owners, and noone really knows which of them is the truth.

I heard that Nintendo sold Rare to Microsoft on purpose, because Rare couldn't keep any deadlines, required more budget Nintendo was willing to offer, and their latest games (at that time) didn't sell well enough (Conker's Bad Fur Day f.e.). So they willingly parted with Rare to get a last bit of profit out of the sinking ship.

...or so I heard.

(not the webcomic thread, but i think it still works.)



It was a moving day indeed.

I'm not arguing against or for any theory, i just thought it was relevant.

[Member#36]

It certainly describes my feelings.

[Naesala]

I don't miss them that much, the recent games they have come out with have been awful, look at how they messed up the new Banjo game

[Member#36]

The only thing I care about in relation to Rare are the old games from the N64, like Banjo Kazzoie.

[tacopill]

Out of curiosity, is modern rare under any pressure by Microsoft?  That could be why they are sucking so bad at the moment.
