And they can't release a LE in stores because....?

MS are so behind in terms of LE consoles this generation, what the hell are they doing. We had Gears, Halo, Star Wars and a number of LE consoles last gen and now we aren't getting shit...unless you attend specific events based in the US...

You suck, MS. You really do.

Im pretty sure none of those LEs came out in the first year. Halo 3 one was 2007? Im not sure what else before then, we had the COD one last holiday and the white one, wasn't until 2007 they did the Elite in Black (vs White which was holiday 2006 equivalent)

I doubt those LEs are worth producing any actual amount as they're expensive and not many would buy them, unless you want to pay a significant premium for them.

Forza is getting one this holiday and Halo 5 will undoubtedly get one, they will start ramping up them now (and I suspect we'll get an XB1 slim next year too), Gears 4 is next year too they won't miss out on that one
 
I think the point he's trying to get across is that Nintendo didn't want an 'inferior' version of technically the same game on their platform vs a competitor. But you are right, no one really knows the true story and it's all fan speculation about what really happened, so who knows.

IIRC, Nintendo wasn't happy that GoldenEye HD couldn't run on the Wii (360 wouldve got the HD game where as Wii would just get the Virual Console version of the N64 original). GoldenEye Reloaded or whatever it was called was released as a compromise.

I'm hoping that they change their stance and let it release now that they have the capable Wii U to handle the game.

Well only one way to voice that we are still interested

My wife actually was happy to see this collection announced surprisingly enough! She played both Pinata games with the kids and I and loved them both enough for the 1000gs on each! She has hand written encyclopedias and countless printed documents about growing things and reproduction and other mini games etc etc so on and so forth! I love it! Seeing her excited about games is not something that happens often enough, and when it does she normally plays mobile which is fine by me. This will be nice to sit and chat while we casually work on gardens together. I can't believe it has been since 06 and 08 for these two titles alone! Some of the older games I am loving too because I played them all damn near at one point.
 
Does anyone know if the Comic Con panel is going to be streamed?

Welp, I'll be the odd man out then. That is not an attractive limited edition at all IMO. I do think it's cool that they are doing a Rare Replay themed console though. If I won it or whatever I wouldn't complain. Only one made? Quite Rare indeed. GET IT??? I'll see myself out.

SDCC Rare Exclusives
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/08/rare-replay-battletoads-vinyl-comic-con

EW can exclusively reveal that Microsoft will debut two new items for San Diego Comic-Con attendees – a Battletoads vinyl soundtrack with Con-exclusive artwork, and a Rare 30th anniversary print from iam8bit.

The Battletoads vinyl, which will be available to the public later with different art, collects David Wise’s soundtrack for the game with art by Nick Gazin. Gazin has previously designed art for Run the Jewels album covers. The 180-gram vinyl has an exclusive gatefold and jacket. 300 will be available at the show for $25 each.

Additionally, a limited edition print will be available at the show, featuring all 30 games in the Rare Replay collection. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, the print will be hand-signed and numbed, with a run of 400 for the show. Each will cost $50. iam8bit will announce whether an extended run of the print will be sold to the public.

So how is the Rare panel going to work? What kind of people from Rare will be there? If they're going to talk about the past, they'll probably have some veterans there, right? Is it only going to be people that are employed at Rare currently or will there be former employees as well?

If I were the Xbox boss I would order a new Banjo to be made, because I'm a Banjo fan. The actual Microsoft is a Battletoads fan though...

That Vinyl though x poster D:

Iam8bit booth huh or Microsoft booth, I'll attempt to buy one

Could you PM me the price while there?

I'd pay you for one (if they're not ridiculous) and shipping. (The Vinyl that is).


Seriously though...I'd pay anyone going to get me one if they're not horrible price wise. I'm on the East Coast and have no chance of going :(.

Edit* I see the Vinyl is $25. Could someone please grab me one. I'll PayPal you $30 + whatever shipping is if you grab me one while there. PM me :-D


Edit** Really like that Anniversary print too.
