Not too long now. Great collection for first timers into Rare's realm. Sadly their best work imo (DK1-3 is Nintendo owned) BUT Battletoads, Perfect Dark and Banjo are great too. Battletoads being arguably one of the iconic beat-em up series of its time. Not to mention OG Killer Instinct.

Also, I thought all the games were on the disc. You have to install each one?
Amazon Canada
All the 360 games install separately but you can access all of them through Rare Replay.

I ordered through Microsoft Store, hasn't shipped yet. Anyone else?

Me neither. This whole cereal coupon thing has been the biggest PITA. I've had to call multiple times for stupid reasons.

Really? My coupon worked fine. I haven't gotten any Microsoft Rewards stuff yet but the live chat rep told me that would happen when the game shipped.

So first I paid with Paypal and it showed that Microsoft cancelled the order. So I called Monday and reordered all of the games that I ordered with the coupons on a debit card. This morning at 2 I received an email that the order had been cancelled due to some pre-authorization BS. So I called Microsoft and they said not to worry and that the email was sent in error. I still fully expect not to get the game.

Hmmmm. I used Paypal as well, haven't been charged yet. Order is processing.
Just got my copy of the game from shopto

I can't actually believe I cancelled my order with shopto so I could pre order digitally instead.
I'm going to be busy all day Tuesday and Wednesday too. I could have been playing this today and tomorrow.
This is easily the stupidest mistake I've ever made in my life, sigh.

I think it's gonna be OK man. Gimme a hug.

Everything is installed apart from Nuts & Bolts. I keep getting an "Installation Stopped" error for it. Happened at 25% and resuming the installation just kept bringing up the error. Uninstalled it and started again but now it doesn't even reach 0%. I've got 170GB free so it can't be there's not enough room for it. Anyone else had this problem and know a fix for it?
It's a bit of a bummer since that's the one I was most excited about playing again. It's a great game despite what people say. It's just not the Banjo-Kazooie everyone was expecting.
Edit: Uninstalled N&B, turned my console off for about an hour and it reinstalled fine. Strange.

Yep nuts and bolts is GREAT. My favorite rare game even. It should not have been a Banjo game though as that made people expect a platformer.
Does anyone know how it runs on xbox one bc?
Whoop! Out all day, taking the family to Truckfest in Edinburgh. Come home to find my copy of Rare replay has been delivered too!
Even better , the mrs is staying over night at her friends, so once the kids are in bed, I know what I have planned....
Today has been a good day.

I read that Conker and other N64 games have serious framerate issues. Is that true? Even my old PC can run Project 64 fine.
Where did you read that? It is true that the original N64 had framerate issues but going by the twitch streams, they seem fine

Anyone ever preorder through Microsoft Store before? When do they general move from processing to shipping?
Hey guys! We had the huge honor of getting to interview Paul Collins, who is the Lead Designer of Rare Replay! Hope you all enjoy it!

I preordered GTAV from them when it first came out. I did get it on release day. Can't remember when it moved to shipping though.

Mine didn't change, but I'm going to assume it shipped already. I saw on xbox not the microsoftstore that a shipping charge was put for 0.00 so that's what I'm going to take as confirmation even though it still says processing.
Their processing to shipping time is usually a little worrying, but once it is on the move, it moves real fast. Here in Canada, at least!

In another gaming board. It isn't constant low, but every few seconds it drops to single digit numbers.
I pre-ordered from the Microsoft Store online, and they have some issue with their billing (double checked with my banks to be sure it wasn't on my end), so I cancelled the order after trying a second card with a different bank. That $10 bonus credit was a huge draw, but I only have so much time for technical frustration.
Edit: Holy shit, it wasn't just me. What a mess. The support rep (who was courteous through the whole process but not particularly helpful) was insisting that it was a problem with my banking institution. Institutions. Plural. Both of which I'd called, and both were cards I'd made previous purchases through the Microsoft Store with info on file.

Excellent interview. Thanks for doing that. : )
It's pretty cool learning that BC was being worked on last year and that, in addition to the community requests, was a driving force behind getting this collection made.
I could not tell if his Battletoad get up was body paint or a skin tight suit. They did a really good job painting him.

Did you get an email notifying you of an error, or did you not even know until you contacted them?

My connection is crapping out.
I can play tomorrow if you guys want to see something specific.
If you set aside the whole censorship difference, THIS is the reason I vastly prefer the N64 version of Conker.
They didn't recreate that scene well at all in the Xbox version.
I was very, very disappointed back in the day. Now I'm beaming with delight

Ahhh I want this so bad but I can't justify buying a $400 console for a collection of ports. I'm jealous of each and every one of you though .

Had the same problem. Went with digital instead. Oh well
They contacted with the email about the payment method issue, I did the checking on my end with all my banks and tried correcting the issue by resubmitting the original payment method, then a card from a different bank. Then I contacted support, and they couldn't do anything and were insisting it was something on my end. I gave it roughly 40 minutes of well-meaning attempts to entertain their premise. I cancelled.
I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced.
superNESjoe

OK. I haven't had any payment issue emails so I'm assuming its fine.
It's possible the email was a fluke since so many people are getting it, so I'd assume you're fine in either case.
I got to a point where I didn't care to find out. When a customer support rep asks me to try the process again in Internet Explorer for something I know is unrelated to the browser and I'd looked into on my end, I lose a lot of enthusiasm for the thing I was buying. The annoyance of the store also being the company publishing the game wasn't lost on me.

Seems like everyone buying the game with the Golden Crisp coupon is having a shitty time with their preorders.
It's been a fucking mess, and no one at Microsoft seems to have any concrete answers.

That's what I did for like 6 of them that I had. 3 I used on Rare Replay, GOW: UE, and Adr1ft.

I have the game since yesterday and I can confirm that the framerate is not constant but it's ok. The biggest issue for me is that you can't invert X and Y axis.
LegalEagleMike
Member
Well that blows. I am always inverted y axis.
The 360 lists, they do count towards little bonuses in rare replay though
Have you played the N64 originals to compare? I'm disappointed they aren't solid 30 fps but I'll still be OK if they're mostly 30. Going to need to wait for digital foundry I guess.
Battletoads NES, arcade or both?
