Did the games get optimized? as in 60fps?

I don't own and will probably never own a Xbone but man.... I wanna play Conker again.

I'm wondering the same thing. I started playing Banjo again on my Xbox yesterday (preview program), and it ran the same as it did on the 360, which I believe was 30 FPS. I guess that's to be expected since it's literally the 360 version unchanged, but the fact that all of Rare's 360 games are already on the BC list makes me think that those games will be unchanged in this collection.

Hope not, though! 60 FPS Banjo-Kazooie on a console would be a dream. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me either way however.

 

[Yoshi]

Now here's what I'd be willing to pay for each of these games:



Good deal still checks out.

Banjo-Kazooie: 2$? I assume you already have the game, multiple times?

 

[Crayon]

Its a great package at a great price.

 

[King_Moc]

Great value collection for sure. Though I'm pretty sure you can pick up the viva pinata games for a lot less than that.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Will this collection have Conker" Live and Reloaded as well?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

What the fuck is this post?

I believe we call them, jokes. This joke was about the rather incorrect way you determined what this value is actually worth, and how it was written in a way that reminded the person of a PR write out.

some of those games must be really rare!

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Just watched a Slalom gameplay video. Definitely worth the $589.

Fucking hell, he's going down that slope at 70mph

 

[Zach]

Not bad.

Was Grabbed by the Ghoulies actually good?!

This changes everything.

Banjo-Kazooie: 2$? I assume you already have the game, multiple times?

...I've never played it...

R.C. Pro-Am II (~$70 used on Amazon/Ebay, no manual, NES cartridge)
Battletoads Arcade (I can't find a cabinet for sale, anywhere, however, there is ONE seller parting with a board only, for $100. 1.)
Killer Instinct Gold (~$20 on Amazon/Ebay, used, no manual, N64 cartridge)
Blast Corps (~$8 on Amazon/Ebay, used, no manual, N64 cartridge)
Banjo-Kazooie ($14.99 on Xbox Marketplace 2.)
Jet Force Gemini (~$8 on Amazon/Ebay, used, no manual, N64 cartridge)
Perfect Dark ($9.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Banjo-Tooie ($14.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Conker’s Bad Fur Day (~$95 on Amazon/Ebay, used, no manual, N64 cartridge)
Grabbed by the Ghoulies ($9.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Perfect Dark Zero ($14.99 on Xbox Marketplace
Kameo: Elements of Power ($9.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Viva Piñata ($14.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Jetpac Refuelled ($4.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts ($14.99 on Xbox Marketplace)
Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise ($14.99 on Xbox Marketplace)

Now that is some crazy false equivalency. The actual market value for most of these would be closer to the equivalent price of similarly aged games on the Xbox Marketplace or Wii/Wii U eShop. Which makes nearly all of those very expensive, rare old games worth $5 or less; rather than $100, $95, or $70. Additionally, nearly all of the $9.99 and $14.99 titles available via the Marketplace go on sale, almost regularly for 50% off.

It's actually closer to somewhere in the region of $175-$200 'market value' worth of games. It is still an incredible deal and an outrageous number of high quality games. But it isn't anywhere close to $600 worth.

 

[CassSept]

Jesus I mean he did go overboard but the responses in this thread. Conker alone, legally, for $30 is a great deal.

 

[RK128]

The fact that this collection contains pretty much everything from there N64 library is amazing..

Outside of DK64, which you can get on the Wii U VC now) and missing some of there Nintendo-only games (the DKC series, which you can get on Wii U VC, the DKL tittles, which you can get on the 3DS VC, Star Fox Adventures, only on the GC and lastly there GBA Ports of the DKC series and the DS remaster/remake of Diddy Kong Racing, there full history is present here.

This collection having the following:
-Banjo 1 and 2
-Perfect Dark
-Blast Corps
-Jet Force Gemini
-Conkers Bad Fur Day
-Killer Instinct Gold
-Battletoads NES and Arcade

In addition to there entire Xbox (Grabbed by the Goules) and 360 collection (Kemio, Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Nuts and Bolts, and Viva Pinata), you have an insane value of classic tittles that anyone can enjoy :').

This is the perfect collection of games for the X1, as it opens the doors to tittles that many Xbox gamers never played before. When they heard that Microsoft bought Rare, they must have thought "Huh...thats cool, but what does that matter?". Now, they can see it for themselves through playing some of the best games ever made this summer .

Very smart move on Microsofts and Rare's part, as not only is this the perfect way to celebrate there history, but to also present some great franchises and games to people who may not ever played them before.

The cherry on top of this is the really retro games in this collection, as you see the early work they did before kicking things off with Battletoads and so fourth.

 

[Flachmatuch]

Fucking hell, he's going down that slope at 70mph

He's going down a slope? All I could see was a butt, somewhat distorted through my tears.

 

[PSGames]

Worth it for Kameo alone for me.

Is Kameo getting updated? Otherwise Kameo is Backwards Compatible on the Xbox One.

 

[InsaneTiger]

That sure is a nice big number to give off the perceived value. But something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay.

Cool

 

[Mask]

Are the Banjo games on this even the XBLA versions? Thought I saw somewhere that they were just the N64 games.

edit - Nope, I was wrong. They are the 360 versions. Never got those on the 360, so I'm happy.

 

[Lalalandia]

Excellent so this poster of Warhol's soup cans I have must offer me a value of $15 million and I only paid $10! Best value evar!

 

[andymcc]

dat ass doe

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

People likely wont put much into the pre n64 games, apart from battletoads probably.

I would have been happy with just the two xbla Banjo Kazooie games ported over or just Conker. The whole package is a great deal.

Anyone who doesn't like Snake Rattle & Roll is a Philistine.

 

[Oddduck]

These N64 games would have cost $10 each on the Wii U virtual console.

So yeah, it's a pretty good value.

 

[robot]

Namco Museum Virtual Arcade offers tens of thousands of dollars worth of games based on current market value. Can you imagine having to buy all of those old arcade boards?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Now here's what I'd be willing to pay for each of these games:



Good deal still checks out.

$3 for BC and JFG?

$3 fucking dollars?

You sonofa....

Meet me somewhere bro.

MEET ME SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kinggroin]

Calling it now.


Snake Rattle N Roll becomes the dark horse favorite amongst owners of this package. You younguns wait and see.


aaaahhh the memories

 

[Battlesmurf]

Either Microsoft has very little faith in the value of these games or they're intentionally charging peanuts in order to give these IPs some mind share within the Xbox audience. I hope it's the latter, and I hope it's some kind of plan to bring these franchises back in the near future.

I think it's the latter. It's a great way to test which ones get played more. Checking achievements and seeing who got more on which games is a very unscientific but simple test to see what games were played more. I'm curious as to what the main draws for the collection are for people.

Fingers crossed for more Battletoads down the line! Slightly worried (and I've probably mentioned this too much), but if they use the US region Nes game it's going to be tough. If memory serves the Japan one is a bit easier- and those changes filtered down to the Genesis one.

 

[JustenP88]

I've been wanting Conker inside me for so long.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

None of the spectrum and few of the NES games look like they'd hold much interest to a 2015 audience outside of nostalgia or brief novelty. Folks would hear Battletoads is amazin then get to Wind Tunnel and ragequit.

Everything N64 era and up might hold up better. Maybe. I don't know it's been a while since I've even held an N64 controller, let alone put up with the jank of early 3D gaming.

 

[Violet_0]

is there any reason to play the first Viva Piñata when Trouble in Paradise is also included in the collection?
(I own a copy of TiP, btw)

Snake Rattle N Roll was one of the best NES games back in the day

 

[Zach]

$3 for BC and JFG?

$3 fucking dollars?

You sonofa....

Meet me somewhere bro.

MEET ME SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be happy to meet a fellow gentleman for a friendly chat and A SURPRISE THRASHING BY HIRED THUGS!!!!!!!!

Anyway, $3.00 is like the "haven't played but would very much like to have a go" rate. I'm sorry for trying to support your beloved games, you monster. ;_;

Spoiler

SURPRISE THRASHING BY HIRED THUGS!!!!!!!!

 

[Shauni]

Will this collection have Conker" Live and Reloaded as well?

Only Bad Fur Day is mentioned, I believe

 

[Emperor Bohe]

I wonder if the 360 BC titles will just retain their separate XBLA achievements, rather than the achievements being under Rare Replay

 

[volcarona]

I'll get it just for Tooie and Nuts and Bolts, the n64 cartridge for Tooie itself costs more than twice of what this collection costs

 

[Fisty]

Its a great value, no doubt, but $500+? No way. Id say it would be worth $30 for the remasters and the Xbox Classics or w/e, but saying this is the only way to play most of these games is pretty facetious when you can pirate all of them in 5 seconds. Not to say that I would or you should, but the fact remains.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I'm going to buy $589's worth of Rare Replay copies, then sell them on ebay for massive profit.

 

[Peltz]

The market value is determined by rarity, not by quality alone

In other words, the market value is determined both by rarity and "Rare-ity".

(Sorry, I'll leave now).

 

[Doukou]

(I own a copy of TiP, btw)

Snake Rattle N Roll was one of the best NES games back in the day

Didn't TiP add some stuff that people didn't liked?

 

[Kriken]

It's amazing how literally 1/6th of the 'value' of that package is taken up by a single game

 

[clav]

Will this collection have Conker" Live and Reloaded as well?

Doubt it since I think the collection runs with the Xbox 360 emulator.

There is no OG Xbox emulator for the XB1 yet.

Makes you wonder if this collection were originally intended for the Xbox 360 through digital download.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies, though... I wonder how they got that over?

No Taboo: The Sixth Sense no buy.

[CalamityPixel]

Maybe the 360 emulator emulates OG Xbox games like the Normal 360 console does.

An Emulator within an Emulator, emulatorception.

Spoiler

100% positive that this is not the case but I imagine it is a straight up port to Xbox One

 

[jerry1594]

I guess I should also buy an Xbone, since I'm saving that much money.

 

[volcarona]

Oh good catch.

Hmmmmmm..........

What if the game comes out and the Xbox One just explodes when you try to play Grabbed by the Ghoulies

 

[Krejlooc]

Their prices are ridiculous and shows they don't really know what they are talking about. Atic Atac going for $11? A cartridge? LOL, Atic Atac cassettes typically go for between 1 GBP and 2.

I don't know much about emulation, but I think this is possible, actually. I think this is how the 3DS emulated the GBA ambassador games.

 

[Persona7]

I don't have an xbox and I am getting a copy of Rare Replay.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I sold mint boxed Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie and Perfect Dark on N64 for a combined total of $300AU on eBay. This collection offers much better value than $589US.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Shit man, I'm a collector and even I know the physical media price comparison is meaningless. Still a good value though.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I just need Blast Corps in my veins!

 

[Silent Chief]

The market value is determined by rarity, not by quality alone
It literally means nothing

Is the price of a rare cartridge relevant if anybody still playing this is probably using a ROM?

 

[T0KY0ST0MP]

I don't have an xbox and I am getting a copy of Rare Replay.

I don't understand this
