N64 has better gameplay though and that's what matters.

Ah, having played both, I didn't notice that.

6 min Rare retrospect from IGN

[Hot Coldman]

This is probably the best value I've ever seen in one of these types of collections. Blast Corps! Jet Force Gemini! Sabre Wulf! Cobra Triangle! AHHHH!

 

[Kinsei]

Ah, having played both, I didn't notice that.

Did you play the N64 multiplayer?

Proper N64 one!

Will Conker pull out his Gameboy?

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Pretty cool. Great value for money, will be buying this.

no diddy kong

no buy ;(

 

[DarthWalden]

Man, I cant wait to replay JfG, conker Kameo and the Banjo games.

I also never played grabbed by the ghoulies so I'm kind of excited to give that a shot.

What a great package for 30$

 

[T.O.P]

lol?
No original Arcade version of Killer Instinct?

I'll pass :/

It already exist tho

 

[Dan]

Great deal for Xbox One owners. There are some gems in there.

Would've been great if they got Captain Skyhawk in there. That was Rare, right?

 

[Hot Coldman]

no diddy kong

no buy ;(

Every knows what the deal with their Donkey Kong stuff is. People need a lesson in their Ultimate Play The Game years.

 

[SCReuter]

Don't tell me I'm gonna have to play Blast Corps and all these other 4:3 classics with distracting border artwork. Boo! Just give me black bars.

 

[Talladega Knight]

no diddy kong

no buy ;(

why would you ever expect dkr to be in this collection? were you expecting the donkey kong country games as well?

 

[Maxrunner]

Did you really think there would be?

I'd rather have this pack on wiiu too you know...

 

[TheSlySoul]

Every knows what the deal with their Donkey Kong stuff is. People need a lesson in their Ultimate Play The Game years.

Pretty much. You need a Wii U as well to get all Rare games.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

I wonder how they're going to handle upscaling these games, the banjo games and the 360 games are all sorted, but the N64 games would be troublesome.

 

[-TK-]

If Jet Force Gemini is 60fps or even 30fps, I will buy an Xbox one.

 

[Ambition]

Conker's Bad fur Day MP with updated controls is going to be glorious <333333

 

[oatmeal]

So stoked for this

Never played Banjo Tooie. i wonder if the BK and PD games will be the XBLA versions or just emulated.

 

[Firecrest]

Unnngghhh... that Snake, Rattle, n' Roll.

I hope this has online co-op, but I have a feeling it won't.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Were there people actually expecting diddy kong racing to be in this?

Like seriously? Goldeneye is one thing, but come on son

There was a guy in another thread hoping for the DKC trilogy lol

I guess some people don't understand how these things work.

Great deal for Xbox One owners. There are some gems in there.

Would've been great if they got Captain Skyhawk in there. That was Rare, right?

Yep! Loved that game.

 

[Maxrunner]

It's a really great value but many of those games have aged really poorly. Especially the N64 Rare games. Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark, etc are borderline unplayable now.

Perfect dark is quite playable on the 360...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'd rather have this pack on wiiu too you know...

if it were on Wii U none of these games would be in it.

 

[Cramoss]

Jet Force Gemini!!!

Goddamn

 

[Diffense]

As someone who played a number of those games on the N64 and still have the carts (JFG, BK, BT) ...this is so weird lol

 

[JustenP88]

Conker's bad fur day is the story of E3 so far and I will fistfight anyone who disagrees. Collectors be maaaaaad

Preorder is up on Amazon

[ElRenoRaven]

This is a must buy for any fan of Rare of old. The price is amazing too.

 

[~~Hasan~~]

amazing list of games for a great value. I am so buying this

 

[goldsoundz]

Can't believe I'm going to be playing Blast Corps on a current console in 2015. Best announcement of the MS conference for me.

 

[T.O.P]

30$ for all this shit, unfffff

 

[Zee-Row]

So much for Nintendo owning RC Pro AM. I thought they owned the ip for some reason.

 

[zelas]

This is yet another reason why I believe Nintendo was jealous of Rare years ago. This is how you celebrate your history. Super Mario Allstars Anniversary is even more shameful

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Wonder what the prices in other countries will be? $30 is half price right? Here's hoping it's £20-25 here then!

 

[Nudull]

...well, that's one way to get me thinking about an Xbox One.

 

[Sydle]

I'm definitely getting this and I hope it's just the first move of theirs to show a return to form. Still hoping for new Battletoads and Banjo announcements sometime this year.

 

[Curler]

Done deal

 

[TeddyBoy]

There are so many Rare games I haven't played and the collection is at a great price as well.

Definite day one for me!

 

[t hicks]

Day 1 for me, can't wait to play through all of these...

 

[Hot Coldman]

Just assume the only thing Nintendo owns of Rare is their Donkey Kong stuff.

 

[Green Yoshi]

Is this all on one disc or do you have to download some of the games?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Just assume the only thing Nintendo owns of Rare is their Donkey Kong stuff.

Yep, pretty much. And Star Fox Adventures.

Is this all on one disc or do you have to download some of the games?

Not sure but it shouldn't be hard to fit all 30 games on a single Blu Ray. More than half of these games probably take up less than a gig combined.

It best come to the UK! Nothing on amazon UK yet

£18.85 on ShopTo!

 

[Xis]

Isn't having Viva Pinata + Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise really redundant? VP:TiP is essentially VP 1.5.

Also, surprised Killer Instinct 1 & Killer Instinct 2 aren't on here, since they are available on the XBO already (as bonuses for the Ultra Combo editions of Killer Instinct 2013).

Still an amazing collection.

I never thought it would happen. Time to get movin'!

 

[Green Yoshi]

It is just ROMs/ISOs?

I wouldn't expect too much for this price. But if there has been a XBLA-version (Banko&Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Perfect Dark), I'm sure they ported that one.

Not sure but it shouldn't be hard to fit all 30 games on a single Blu Ray. More than half of these games probably take up less than a gig combined.

Xbox 360 games use ~6 GB, so it could fit. N64 games as Jet Force Gemini have only 32 MB.

I'm surprised Goldeneye isn't on there. I guess there might've been licensing issues? And this is the first N64 game compilation right?

Microsoft doesn't own the James Bond license for games. Mickey's Speedway USA is also missing because the characters belong to Disney.

 

[Patchy]

Jetforce Gemini! Wow. Really wish I owned a One now.

No chance of it ever coming to PC or PS4.

PC? Maybe. PS4? Never.

Will this collection really drop the second-hand price of an N64 cartridge of Conker? Doubtful.

The second-hand price of the Xbox remake though? Much more likely.

 

[Twin Tails]

I can't wait to see that jet force is actually terrible(have not played it in a lonnnng tine)
