their shooting themselves in the foot if they do this the rare they used to own is DEAD they havn't made a good game in decades after being sold. they even killed their own ip to with nuts and bolts!

It's fucking dumb. Nintendo wouldn't start work on a game involving an IP they don't even own let alone would they waste money on a dev that's worthless to them now.You...and some others miss the point.their shooting themselves in the foot if they do this the rare they used to own is DEAD they havn't made a good game in decades after being sold. they even killed their own ip to with nuts and bolts!
This isn't about Nintendo wanting Rare hoping it will make good games again ( that's unlikely as most of the old team is long gone ), it's about Nintendo wanting to reacquire some of his old IPs and have maybe Retro studios develop for. The only way , is to buy Rare altogether. Nobody gives a shit about today's or future Rare, all they want are the IPs ......
If that is the case, and the company ( which didn't do any good in a decade or so ) is more then affordable, I don't see how this could be a bad idea at all.........
Some people keep asking for new ips. While they aren't exactly new,they would be ips we haven't seen for a while.
It almost sound like some people don't want them to come back or/and they do not want Nintendo working on them.
If they buy these ips, surely they would work on them as if they were a new ips. I see no reason why they can't work on ips
that wasn't their own from before. I mean they go out their way to help other developers, so what's stopping them?
If I'm not mistaken DK64 did in fact require the ram expansion and was even sold with it for those who didn't already have it. Also Majors's Mask required it and that game was ported to VC.Donkey Kong is a Nintendo IP, so I have never understood why DK64 was never released on the Virtual Console, though if I recall correctly there were problems with porting some games that used the N64 Expansion Card, however DK64 wasn't one of them.

Zelda Informer is just as credible as sites like Wii U Daily, i.e, not credible at all.
Back in the good old days RARE used to make some of the best games around.
Jetpac is why they can't release DK64. Jetpac is owned exclusively by RARE.
If true, and Nintendo's trying to reacquire some of the IPs we know and love, I will be greatly happy.
However I am highly skeptical.
YES. Give Rare back to the more superior company. God knows that every rare game with Microsoft has done so well...
When you think about the N64, I instantly think of RareWare. That's how good of a company they were. Nintendo should have NEVER sold them. and we would have had Banjo-Three-ee. and not this nuts and bolts bullshit (Yet again...sequels lose their charm after a while)
sounds too silly/too good to be true. while i would love to see Banjo Kazooie back to its former glory I cannot see MS giving up the ip with the original 2 being available on live arcade

why not ? it would mean that those two games could finally arrive on the virtual console and even goldeneye would be available on the virtual console if nintendo was to buy rare
Goldeneye is a whole other story as activision currently holds license for any bond games being released. Nintendo would have to aquire rights to the bond franchise and I'm not sure activision is going to give up their hold on it yet. Now if their contract expires and Nintendo works out a deal with the film studio for the franchise then we mighty see goldeneye on VC.why not ? it would mean that those two games could finally arrive on the virtual console and even goldeneye would be available on the virtual console if nintendo was to buy rare
