Kotaku: Rare HD collection is coming to Xbox One

Windows 10 as well please!
Can't access Kotaku at work for some reason, but it only mentions X1?

wELL THat makes it 2 games I want on the Bone now.
 
And after I recently paid around £20 for the XBLA Banjo duo, hmm typical.
But damn that's a nice wad of games, and Jet Force Gemini.

No i'm not still bitter about collecting Tribals at all.

Top it off with some unreleased beta's:
26. Twelve Tales Conker 64
27. Dinosaur Planet
28. Project Dream SNES
29 Project Dream N64

I'd buy a collection of these for full price with nothing else in the collection. However, Dinosaur Planet is basically the exact same game as Star Fox Adventures, including even characters copyrighted by Nintendo. This cannot be part of the collection.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Jet Force Gemini at a high frame rate?

This just might be a system seller to me.
Not really, but I am pretty hyped.



I hope your "reasons" are because it's awesome.

damn straight

it's one of my favorite rare games, but it's mainly lost to time for most people

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
That's cool and all but it sounds like
the constant Banjo, Conker, and Battletoads teasing was leading to this and not a new game in one of those franchises.

And to top it off, it seems their new game is a new IP that just started development. That's disappointing if true.

I earned 100 Gamerscore™ for collecting 300 widgets and thereby created Trump's America
My interest would shoot into the stratosphere if Bad Fur Day was in. That would be the ultimate megatron for me.

I'm just curious why someone would leak it like 3 hours before the press conference lol. Seems kinda redundant at that point.

As far as the collection goes, I'm excited to see it if it's real.

"Remember when we made good games? Here's some ports"

Microsoft won E3 before it even began ya'll

Awesome package but lacking both their best and worst games. No DK 64 thankfully. No DKC or DKR sadly. I'll be eager to see how nice a lot of these games look in HD.

I'll gladly purchase the Xbox One All-in-One Entertainment System right now.

Diddy Kong Racing and Goldeneye 007 will always be stuck in limbo unfortunately.

In the future, I hope Nintendo and Microsoft can strike up some agreement on those two games.

Now that would be a badass collection indeed.

Most games did not age well (I do not like early 3d for the most part for numerous reasons, so that goes for nearly everything), but if they are a polished up well (resolution, framerate, draw distance etc.) I can see me really having one of the greatest nostalgia trips ever playing this collection.

(sidenote: due to my platform choice chances are slim I will actually play it..... But still, I want them to release this, maybe it even leads to Rare getting some more interesting projects).

I mean, this would be cool but I've also already played most of these games. Some multiple times. If retro has primarily been working on hd remakes of their old games that is a bit lame. I loved stuff like jet force Gemini at the time but it's also not something I see getting a lot of play today. Especially the multiplayer.

All that said it's still cool to get 30 old games in hd but I sort of expected more after all the teasing. Some of these games are very good. And some of them leave a lot to be desired.
 
Potential Rare collection fave 5

Banjo Kazooie
Perfect Dark
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise
Blast Corps

another 25 or so on top of that sounds pretty spiffing to me.
(so this is what my Rare hype is now reduced to)

I'd normally say I'd rather they make good new games, but since this is Rare we all know they are no longer capable. If this is true I'll buy it when I eventually pick up an Xbone.

too bad this got leaked so close to the conference. would of been a nice surprise since we were expecting just a battletoads remake.
