you know with all the games that MS could have improved and would have suited there image, I am suprised this never got an arcade make over or a sequel

 

[koolking97]

RARE is just a name Nintendo needs to buy the rights to banjo kazooie

 

[KingVamp]

I really doubt this rumor is true tho.

 

[Bladexdsl]

mic won't let rare go just to piss ninty off

 

[ForteGospel]

if all the rare staff are making casual kinect stuff, then nintendo can keep them making casual wiiu stuff while letting retro's studio work with the old ips

 

[shakirmoledina]

make the same game with another name. wont that work? dont u have the idea on how it works? square did the opposite.
as they progressed 13 became very distinct from ff1

the problem is that the name also sells...

chances are you would not play a game with the name as "monsters catcher" or "monsters dungeon" but if the name is pokemon or pokemon dungeon you will play it

If Nintendo did that, everyone in the world would be happy.

Bad Fur Day for U.

I think it's funny that you'd think Nintendo would ever endorse a game like Conker's Bad Fur Day in this day and age.

Also...

We don't need Rare for DKC.

Well you seem to be in the minority here thinking that's " fucking dumb ". It might very well be unlikely,but your argument is pointless. They could have a really good platform game half backed and then " if " they acquire Rare could slap a Banjo/Kazooie skin on it, I've seen it before ( even Mario Bros 2 in North America was just a Mario skinned Japanese platform game which I can't remember the name of ) . And Rare might be worthless to you, but some may still care.
Thus, do I dare to say your comment is " fucking dumb "

It's fucking stupid to think that Nintendo would spend millions of dollars to acquire a company just to get a valueless IP. If they did indeed have a game in the workings, it makes much more sense to slap the Mario or Donkey Kong brand on it than Banjo Kazzoie.

 

[giavol]

maybethey want to port banjo kazzoie on 3ds.That would be cool, thou we need new games as well.

I call this bullshit.

Rare doesn't have ANYTHING Nintendo needs. Their titles are just not mainstream enough, even Banjo Kazooie hence why they're reduced to making poor "Mii too" titles for Microsoft and also they have very little talent left.

If Nintendo wanted a core title like Perfect Dark or Killer Instinct (personally, never felt they were great...but then my rose tinted specs are off)...they could just do them themselves under different titles, they don't need those names at all. Also if those titles were really that viable, then why does Microsoft not bother with them at all? In a business sense this would be stupid for Nintendo to even consider, Rare take far too long to make even something half decent. Maybe they may buy JUST Banjo Kazooie but that's about it but then Nintendo has Donkey Kong, Mario, Kirby and others that they could easily make a good platformer out of and they would sell more.

If the game that Retro is working on turns out to be Banjo Kazooie, I'd be highly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I like the series but if Retro isn't working on a new IP I personally think there are more worthwhile Nintendo IPs that would rather them do, especially in this day and age.

Rare owns Banjo Kazooie, not Microsoft.

Rare owns Banjo Kazooie, not Microsoft.

and Microsoft owns Rare. So Microsoft basically owns BK.

Except this thread is about Nintendo possibly buying Rare back. So if that happens, Nintendo gets Banjo again.
