It is still a bit of a shame they parted ways though as we probably won't get Goldeneye on the Virtual Console now!

I had envisioned a world where I could get on my Wii and play GoldenEye in an online 4-player death match over Nintendo Wi-Fi.....My world is not yet complete I miss Jet Force Gemini too, loved that game. How I loved my N64! Edited by Natendo, Apr 29 2009, 10:21 AM.

They will not be releasing any more games for any Nintendo consoles. Consoles. They've already released games for the Nintendo DS (and GBA, for the matter), and from looking at the sales of those games, there is belief that they will do so again. Rare wasn't sold; it was bought. Big difference.

I also downloaded Banjo Tooie today, which was also just released, so how could I miss them if they haven't gone anywhere? I would rather them make good games on the 360 than shitty waggle games on the Wii.

But think of the possibilities if they made AWESOME waggle games on the Wii! I don't know why I'm in this thread, I never played a Rare game.

Microsoft paid a total of $375 million for the company. Because of this, Rare is now a first-party developer for Microsoft's Xbox and its successors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_(company)
