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

Unless Nintendo and Microsoft can strike up some agreement on those.

DKR got a DS remake, did it not? (they replaced some Rare IP stuff for legal reasons).

But yeah, I hope Goldeneye will get resolve.

 

[LordBaztion]

It has to include a uncensored Xbox Conker

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I hate shit like this. Why post now and not just let people be surprised? It's 2 hours away.

But hey it's Kotaku...gotta get them clicks

That is indeed the point of a business, making money. Sheesh. Get over yourself.

 

[Rocky]

I tell you what MS, if this turns out to be true and they make an announcement for Banjo-Threeie at your conference, I will run out and buy an Xbox One today.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Kinect Sports X360 1080p 60fps remaster incoming.

I could get behind this. I still play those games pretty frequently.

 

[Toad.T]

Rip me to shreds for this if you must, but the only way I'd be interested in this is if they go really deep into their library. Like really deep. ZX Spectrum levels of deep.

(Come to think of it, has there ever been a modern-day port of any Speccy game? Jetpack notwithstanding of course.)

 

[painey]

What kind of comment is this? Nostalgia rereleases and more recently remasters have been a thing for ever.

Rare haven't made a good game since Viva Pinata, and that was essentially a MS tool to sell merchandise and a TV show

The OP contains a rumour of a new game.

Point being, if the compilation rumour is true, the new game rumour has to be true.. they can't seriously be selling PDZ:HD+ and Battletoads 2 as their bread and butter

 

[MaulerX]

Ok. I'm gonna pretend I didn't read this. Watch the conference and jump out of my seat when it's announced.

 

[Lord Kefka]

From the pic in the article it seems the rare replay may come with a new battletoads attached

 

[DopeyFish]

I could get behind this. I still play those games pretty frequently.

table tennis all day every day

 

[Shogun_of_Truth]

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.

True. That one was kind of wishful thinking.

 

[justsomeguy]

My interest would shoot into the stratosphere if Bad Fur Day was in. That would be the ultimate megatron for me.

You sound pretty Optimustic to me.

 

[LakeEarth]

Blast Corps without the jank? Sign me up. Then sign me out cause I don't have a Xbox One, but still, neat!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

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

Because that's kind of the responsibility of a journalist?

Once Jason knew he had enough info to run the story, it would have been a disservice to his readers not to publish it. It's not Kotaku's responsibility to make sure MS has a great press conference full of surprises.

 

[Raide]

A Rare Themepark like Nintendoland where you can go inside and have access to the games. Use the Avatars + Rare characters.

 

[Windom Earle]

Gamestop... Battletoads... hmmm

 

[JaggedSac]

This is a megaton.

Would have been a great E3 surprise.

 

[Chase17]

Too bad it would include some of my favorite games from them (DKC).

 

[Jigorath]

Okay I think the title is a bit misleading as the article doesn't mention anything about HD remakes. They're just ports apparently.

 

[The Flash]

Could've waited a couple of hours, Kotaku

 

[Oddduck]

DKR got a DS remake, did it not? (they replaced some Rare IP stuff for legal reasons).

But yeah, I hope Goldeneye will get resolve.

Although that's true, DKR for Nintendo DS was created when Rare was still making handheld games.

Right now, Rare isn't making any handheld games. And Microsoft owns the rights to Timber, Tiptup, Pipsy, Wiz Pig, Taj the Genie, etc.

So I'm not sure if the politics between Microsoft and Nintendo have changed much since then.

 

[Zakalwe]

old games would push you to buy an Xbone? Oh ok...

Don't be game-ageist.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

No kidding. Might as well just create an all new game

I think N64 is a bit too far to reach back for a 8th gen 'HD' remaster.

Can't argue with 30 games, though.

You guys know Rare hasn't released even 20 games from between 2001 to today, right? How else is the collection gonna have 30 if N64 games aren't included?

 

[Lynd7]

We'd also want the N64 Conker for the godly multiplayer.

 

[tapedeck]

Uncensored Conker and 360 ver of Perfect Dark included would make this a fucking megaton.

Should specify N64 PD remaster on 360, NOT PDZ lol.

 

[Barzul]

Could've waited a couple of hours, Kotaku

And miss out on the clicks? Never

 

[Matty77]

If true this might be the justification I need for an X1.

Especially Battletoads. Even if it's just as hard even getting my ass handed to me in HD is too good to be true!

 

[dark_inferno]

Please be PC so i can set the Resolution to the original one.

 

[justsomeguy]

Point being, if the compilation rumour is true, the new game rumour has to be true...

Well indeed, which is why I was confused that you said "imagine being so creatively bankrupt that this is your best idea.". It seems unnecessarily antagonistic.

 

[CitizenCope]

Sounds great what could go wrong with a collection of games?

 

[The Flash]

And miss out on the clicks? Never

Nevah - Michael Caine

 

[MMaRsu]

That would be pretty damn amazing. Im still salty Nintendo blocked Goldeneye HD remake from coming out. If they would release that it would be a megaton for me.

 

[piccio_ssl]

Tim Dog posted this

edit. confirmed fake. sorry

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Could've waited a couple of hours, Kotaku

Seriously, if true this is still great but this would of really had a huge impact because I honestly didn't see this coming (again if true).

Oh well.

 

[tiebreaker]

... Working on new original game. So, no battletoads reboot or banzo sequel.

At least Xbox owners will get a collection of 30 games, which is pretty sweet.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

And miss out on the clicks? Never

Some of you people are fucking sad. Do you understand how journalism actually works?

Edit - I don't mean this as a personal attack....I just...don't get some of these reactions. It's like we don't actually want the journalism side of this industry to actually improve.

 

[JustenP88]

You sound pretty Optimustic to me.

That announcement would sting me like a Bumblebee.

 

[Raide]

Would love to see it Xbox One + Wii-U and have MS and Nintendo co-operate on all the Rare titles.

 

[Natiko]

This is fake though.

Massive yawn if this is true.

I'd just greatly prefer something new. Had my heart set on banjo threeie

 

[dose]

I find it hard to believe that they'll have n64 games, what with Nintendo etc. but hey, we'll see.

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

Wow, and how would they bring over the game? Is it through a bunch of emulators, because remastering them would take ages right (if it's up to 30 games)?

 

[piccio_ssl]

This is fake though.

Known fake.

ops, sorry
didn't knew it

 

[oti]

Oh Kotaku ruined the start of a marketing campaign booh I say, booh! #prayforMS

Spoiler

Come on people

 

[jschreier]

Could've waited a couple of hours, Kotaku

Maybe. Thing is, I'm a reporter.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Cool! But that soinds like we're not seeing a new game from Rare today outsode of a teaser. I still feel a new Banjo-Kazooie in my bones.

 

[KORNdoggy]

if this is literally all they're coming with i'll be dissapointed. by all means bring it as a garnish for your main reveal, but this better not be it.

 

[vagabondarts]

Microsoft and Nintendo worked out a deal, which is how we will get virtual console versions of Rare's games now, yeah?

Spoiler

and Diddy kong racing
