Rare itself is worthless now a days. But the IP's are, shame Microsoft isn't doing anything with most of them.

Microsoft doesn't know what they have. Rare has a lot of IP they can use.

What do you mean? "Doesn't know what they have."

There are so many IP's they could use. Rare might not be as great as they are. But they have a lot of games they could make. Killer Instinct was just one.

So who wants to start the kickstarter and call up microsoft?

[Hitomi]

Action Role Playing Game. Things like Kingdom Hearts and Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

KH is JRPG =P, and castlevania isn't rpg

Kingdom Hearts is more hack and slash than RPG, and SotN has things like weapon upgrades, experience points, level ups, stats for the usual RPG fare (magic, attack, defense, etc.), and since it also incorporates elements from action games like Metroid and the earlier Castlevania's, it is an Action RPG.

Retro is the new RARE  

 

Retro is nothing like RARE.

KH is still a jrpg, and CV is an action/adventure game with rpg elements but it's not rpg

what's Arpg's?

 

Fallout 3, Skyrim and Borderlands 2(Which I think the Wii U  is capable of handling).

So who wants to start the kickstarter and call up microsoft?

 

Sorry to burst the dream but even if you call up Microsoft they probably wouldn't sell due to them actually still using the company. Also if they know that Rare is worth someone to nintendo fans, they would probably increase the asking price and that would be if they were selling in the first place. As much as I want it to happen I think Publishers should not get involved in the Developer's work.

Wow lets shell millions from our own pockets so that we may finally have kinect sports 3 on the WiiU

All the main talent from Rare has long gone, the IP's themselves are what we want and them in itself are worth millions, not to mention Microsoft is not going to let go so easily.

Eh, it's really hard to label RPGs nowadays, but your original question was what ARPG stood for, and it's an Actiom RPG. A better example may have been Mass Effect.

[BrosBeforeGardenTools]

I hope this is a joke thread. I mean, potentially you could start a Kickstarter, but like I pretty much said in a status update, you will get $50.00.

Lets buy banjo kazooie and conker

Yes it is. 

 

People could deny it all they want, but Retro and Rare are very similar.

the Term Role playing game has LONG lost it's meaning ever since people started calling JRPGs RPGs. technically WRPGs are the only video games that can be considered true role playing games but now stats and a lv system are the only requirements [sigh].  

 

anyways if people are going to call games like final fantasy RPGs then kingdom hearts is just as much of an RPG.

Role Playing Games started in Japan, but whatever...

[Julio93]

Buy the franchises, not the developers since the main guys left.

do some research, your knowledge is severely lacking.

[TheUltimateWaddleDee]

I'm getting that Squaresoft and Enix made the RPG big on consoles with Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Those two companies were the reason RPGs are what they are today. I will give you that RPGs on PC started with Dungeons and Dragons and others, but those were based on Pen and Paper RPGs. Not to mention the split occured after Squaresoft and Enix became big. Not to mention that when you think of RPGs in general, you tend to think more of Squaresoft.

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

Just let it die and have the IP's auctioned to highest bidder, then maybe people will at least get the games they want.
