What ever happened to RARE and Nintendo.....I miss Banjo Kazooie and Conker.....

Yes I know there is a Kazooie game for the 360 but it seemed better with Nintendo.

Anyone else feel the same? :?

Oh I'm over it. I just like the nostalgic feeling I get when I pop in Conker's Bad Fur Day in my N64 :P

I just recently bought Conker's BFD for the N64, and I thought about a Conker on Wii. That would be awesome, being able to swing the wiimote to smash the frying pan on sum1s head. lol

You don't know really? Well this is what happened Miyamoto did not like rare and this was the time they were working together so they just seperated and Microsoft bought them. That is what happened to Rare and yes it deos stink how nintendo and rare are seperated.

Yeah I don't think Rare makes good games anymore. Their time was back then. Would be cool if they came back with a hit though but I don't see that happening.

Big N sold them and made a tidy sum while the news of Rare going to Microsoft got them some good PR. Though some of us cackled at the folly of microsofts actions with the knowledge the developers they wanted had long since moved on.

Rare wanted to be protected by a larger company

Nintendo in their usual style was not going to spend one cent they didn't have to and since Rare wasn't able to top Nintendo in any of the genres they both shared decided not to take Rare into the fold.

Rare then asked Nintendo to sell back it's shares in the company so it could find another company to merge with.

Nintendo sold back it's part of the company and then Microsoft bought out Rare completely

It worked out for both sides.

No, they did Microsoft doesn't have a handheld so they allow Rare to make games for the DS. Nintendo has no control over Rare whatsoever. They're completely helpless when it comes to Rare owned games.

No Way. Rare where awesome and i think we would have a lot more good games if they were still a 2nd(?) party with nintendo
