I really miss the days when developers took their time and composed games with care. Remember before Rare was bought out by Microsoft? The best games, in my personal opinion, on the N64 are Rare games.

 It will be a shame if Rare and Nintendo can't work out an agreement on releasing all the old VC games on the Wii. BK, Goldeneye007, Perfect Dark... etc.

Anyone else feel the same?

All I want is Goldeneye.  I put more time into that game than any other.

Goldeneye was so great.  Definitely still to this day the greatest game made ever coming from a movie.

You miss Rare? They are terrible now. All of the good people from there joined Free Radical. Nintendo should really consider buying Free Radical

just cause they take time to delay it shows that they do care how it comes out.

compare it to Blizzard. 

they probably have the best computer games, or all of them are right up there.

they don't release many, but when they release one, it is sure to be kickass, and last years.

I also enjoy Goldeneye, but let's see some new games here. I just recently started playing Goldeneye 007 for N64, and I finally beat the Facility on 00Agent in 2:03, unlocking the cheat. I feel so proud of myself. And because you have to run through the entire level without stopping pretty well, my little brother made the hilarious caption for it : "the highest octane Bond in years". It was so funny, and appropriate.

I'm pretty sure that Viva Pinata is made by Rare. Althought that game is not even comparable to Perfect Dark or Goldeneye, it is a good game that is worth playing.

Too Human is not made by Rare. It's Silicon Knights that is developing it.

As for Rare, I think Nintendo should either sign a non-exclusivity with Rare for the Rare games on the N64 for the VC or let it die with Microsoft. As far I'm concerned they are dead. All the good people of Rare are now with Free Radical.

Yes, they did make the best games on the N64. Conker, Bk, etc etc. And i am really considering buying a 360 because of the new Banjo game they are developing.

RARE is one of the finest developers ever and they've brought us gems like Killer Instinct, Goldeneye, Jet Force Gemini, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, StarFox64, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, and it goes ON. But I cant really miss 'em that much cuz I own a 360, which I'm totally psyched for Banjo-Threeie. But yeah... the Rare/Nintendo days were the BEST.

The new Banjo game might be good because the original Banjo team is the only team still intact after they got bought by Microsoft, few left to form Zoonami, the whole Golden Eye team left shortly after production started on the original Perfect Dark, so the team that took there place didn't need to work that much because the Engine for Perfect Dark was basically the same as the Golden Eye engine, the only team that is still around from the N64 days is the Banjo team except the Stamper Bros. left this year and they were in the Banjo team.

Didn't Rare make Viva Pinata? That was a really good game, it just didn't sell well.

Weren't all of Rare's classic Snes and N64 titles brilliant coz they were working with Nintendo on them?

I don't know, I've always just thought that since how they've produced nothing but rubbish since joining MS

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it, should have changed it.  Just very excited about Too Human...lol. 

 

Anyway, I don't think Rare is that good.  Granted, it would be nice to have them, but it really isn't hurting me that much.
