Virtual Console: Rareless
Well, here's something interesting from the Game Developers Conference 2006. Met with some Rare / Microsoft people who confirmed once and for all that Revolution's Virtual Console will not see any Rare-owned licenses. What does that mean? No-gos include Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, and Conker's Bad Fur Day. Not happening on Revolution. Neither are gamers likely to see Goldeneye 007, unless both Rare and new license holder EA commit it to Nintendo's platform.

On a brighter note, any title developed by Rare that is fully owned by Nintendo could very well show up on the Virtual Console. Donkey Kong 64. Diddy Kong Racing. You get the point.


Btw, since it has been a while since I posted here, if this be the wrong section/old news, del0rt/close it. >>;

Too bad, Rareware was one of my favorite developers.

...wha...what?

That's stupid. But it IS Microsoft. :lol: I can understand not allowing Nintendo to make sequels to Banjo Kazooie or whatever, but not allowing them to have their own games be downloadable on a new system..?

It's not surprising since they're owned by Microsoft, though. In any case, this doesn't bother me much because either I already have the games I care for, or I'd hunt down the N64 carts to play on the older console.

Believe it or not, I actually do that quite often. (I like both old AND new school... know your roots noobs!)

I don't find that surprising at all... Here, I was playing Donkey Kong 64 last weekend. ;)

The earliest I've had is a Game Boy Pocket, but that's because I had a late start entering the handheld world.

I really don't care for Rare, save for games like Donkey Kong Country 1-3, those were awesome games. I already have all the games made by Rare that I could ever want, so I wouldn't need to download them onto my Rev. anyway.

Yeah!!! ROOTS!! I still play the NES! Heck, not too long ago, I was playing on the Atari! I'm surprised it still works.:lol:

the games were made by Rare during their time they were still with Nintendo.

i think Nintendo also has an opinion about releasing them on the Revo.

that's just not fair.

extra strage fact. one of the best games sold during a certain month was Starfox Adventures, by Microsoft. wtf?

I do think this is strange, but most of those games I thought were real blowers. With the exception of 007 Goldeneye.
