Ever since Microsoft bought Rare for 310 million(i think) its all been down hill for the company, they haven't really produced anything spectacular and most of their staff have resigned. Now they apparently makeing all the kinect motion sports games.

The company wouldn't be worth as much now and probably won't be able to reproduce the same amount of quality back in the 90's but still do you think it would be a good idea to get Rare back, or at least get some of their top staff to work for Nintendo or Retro Studios.

The staff that worked for RARE back in the days who made those memorable games are all but gone now.
I wouldn't see a reason for Nintendo to buy them back unless they plan to restore them back to their prime.

"buy back rare", implying that they would be getting back the same thing they sold

rareware is dead, has been for a while now. ever since the brothers stamper and so on left the building, they have been a shadow of their former selves. it's one of the saddest tales in the gaming development community.

it's like what happens to companies that EA buys except it wasn't EA that messed with everything

^ usually I'm the first to say that, glad to see two others beat me to it.

Nintendo have enough IP's, they don't need conker and other sub-par IP's, and the talent is gone, so why waste that amount of money?

The only thing I would say would be the IP that rare have, they were making some awesome looking game, but were cancelled due to Microsoft wanting them to do other game, I believe.

Yup Yup... Rare all gone... :(
If anyone is still using the name over there, it's a trick.
The important, original staff are all bye bye.

To be honest, I think Nintendo should buy Rare. They could transfer some staff from their other companies to it. It would be great to play Banjo-Kazooie on the Wii U! :)

No, Microsoft has their exclusives and Nintendo has theirs.

So, you wouldn't like a new Banjo-Kazooie on the Wii U and no Conker what-so-ever? Would you really want to have the same old stuff again and again. It's better to buy Rare and have more franchises.

How old are you? considering most of rare's amazing ip's are before alot of peoples time on this website i assume this is why the younger gamers could care less about rare.

Personally i thought killer instinct was one of the best fighters of its time. and conker and banjo kazooie are amazing platforms that offer a different variety of gameplay than most other platforms besides mario

Rare did have amazing IPs. But "the staff that worked for Rare back in the days who made those memorable games are all but gone now"-Joshua. We don't need Banjo Kazooie and Conker. Nintendo is fine. I like Conker but those staff are just dead and gone.

i dont care about the staff, i would only want the ip's and they have more to offer than just banjo and conker.

like i said they have killer instinc hell they have one of the best and hardest beat em up's ever battletoads.

Rare has alot more to offer than just those two and there ip's are worth getting in my opinion.

don't need Banjo Kazooie


Banjo Kazooie


Somebody either shoot him or me...please. I'm fairly certain my brain turned to slush after reading this.

Nintendo doesn't need to buy back Rare so much as buy some of their IPs, such as Killer Instinct, Banjo Kazooie, and (even though I hate the series with a fervor) Conker. As for Rare themselves...they were declared dead the moment Nintendo sold them.

May I ask why you hate Conker?

Woe is I, who haft been unprepared. I hath entered a sanctuary of forbidden to the eyes of men. 

My eyes shall burn with the images of that which I had seen. Far beyond my comprehension, a ritual. I hath seen them dance and sing.

For they danced and sang with a passion no longer held by my kind. And when such ritual hath concluded I was awakened to the meaning of it all.

I was enlightened to passion of the other kind. finally, I sayth to myself.

"Mine being hath been prepared"
