Nope they won't pop again if you already played the game and already got the achievement.
And they are the 360 ones.

Sorry I was wrong, the X and Y axis ARE inverted on the second stick : Up goes down, left goes right. It's like on the N64 so you can't turn it to normal.
It's far better than the N64 game but I noticed some frame drops.

Ahh. Well good for me lol. Sorry for all you "default" players.
Just the NES one, I played the arcade one for the first level and it seemed fine.
Despite being a collection of games I've played dozens of times (except for blast corps, banjo tooie, and grabbed by the ghoulies) this is the xbox game I'm most hyped for. Eventually it will be mine and when it is it will be getting all my love. Can't wait to replay some of these games after years.
Wondering how much my daughter is going to love Viva Piñata. Maybe it'll be enough to get her off Splatoon
What's the difference between the two VP games? Is one recommended over the other?
Second one is the best, it's like Viva Pinata 1.5 basically.
My daughter got obsessed by it when she was only 6/7/8
For a complicated game she got right into it.Did get her the official game guide though.
She hasn't been much of a gamer since then though apart from Minecraft.

Probably because it's emulated, the NES has that effect.

All of the Xbox 360 games are emulated using backwards compatibility. They're basically just disc rips.

Anyone know when the review embargo ends for this?

Still can't believe he went full Rash at Comic-Con. So awesome!

My son is due to be born August 4th. Wonder if the game will get here first, and when I'll even get to play it!

Grabbed by Ghoulies in 1080/60FPS Kreygasm. Never played it but I love it.
August 3rd, 6 a.m. PT

You couldn't do it on N64 either.
It looks a little bit strange that the textures are so blurred and edges are so sharp. And there are no Snapshots and save states for N64 games unlike in the NES games.

It's so fun! Easy as hell but just fun.
Yep. Frame Rate drops much like it would on an N64. noticed a few texture hiccups but it's awesome regardless. Also, the controls are pretty wank. I'm not someone who plays on inverted. It's too mentally weird.
Edit; only 4000 gamerscore?
Hope they change the stamps for PDZ. I played a load of that game at launch, there isn't a chance I'm going to get 1k achievements for it 
Edit: It's 750 gamerscore not 1k for all stamps - still ;____________________________________________________; that games achievements are awful

Plus the 360 games should equal 10,000.
It's supposed to unlock at 12 EST Tuesday.
Mine's currently pre-loading, though am a bit concerned about these frame rate complaints for N64. If it's comparable to the 360 Banjos, I'm good.

Thanks, despite knowing what each of the 30 games is already like I'm still curious to see how the collection gets reviewed as a whole, especially considering the price.

Several of the visual gags were mucked up by the Xbox graphics upgrade. This, the squirrels in It's War, Enter the Vertex's intro (might've been for legal paranoia), Conker wearing shorts (where in the original he would "unzip" nothing for the whizzing minigames), et cetera.
I wouldn't mind having the Xbox version too, but they really did pick the right one.
Funnily enough, both Conkers came out late on their respective platforms, using all sorts of hardware tricks, so they're both probably the hardest things to emulate for the collection.

Yeah :
4000 for Rare Replay
1000 for Perfect Dark Zero
1000 for Kameo
200 for Jetpac Refuelled
1000 for Viva Pinata
1000 for Viva Pinata 2
200 for Banjo-Kazooie
200 for Banjo-Tooie
1250 for Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
200 for Perfect Dark
Is that just in the US though?
That would be 5pm here, but I assume it will be at midnight.
I haven't pre-ordered a digital game yet so I don't know what happens.

Has it ever been confirmed that improvements would be made to the n64 games? Maybe they are just doing straight emulation

Finally pre-ordered a copy at a local GameStop.
The guy there was happy to find out that Conker's Bad Fur Day was the original N64 version. He thought for a moment that Battletoads was a remake (I guess he thought the arcade game was one?), but he was happy to learn that the NES game is in there. He's hoping for more games as DLC, too.
I asked about the "Ask me about Battletoads" buttons, but he said that his store didn't get any, but he and the other guy there saw them at other stores. They're not sure about the t-shirts.

Haha, it's me, not the game. I've got a slammed month and pretty soon other games will be out that I'll probably be playing over RR. The value proposition and just "having" it in the library is certainly tempting.

Probably getting an Xbox One for this shit next week, but if I do, I'll not touch Blast Corps. I won't do it. Fuck that game. I'm pretty sure that it can be solely responsible for the onset of hypertension and anxiety disorder, like more than obesity, smoking, etc. I can run circles around Souls all day long but Blast Corps? That game scares the shit out of me.
I've had the level select music stuck in my head all day since briefly watching a stream last night. "Gotta get moving"
Evil game.

This is likely just an OCD thing, but I'd almost feel wasteful using a One to emulate 360 games.
By buying RARE Replay, does one then get access to the same games via Games on Demand on 360? Or does it not work that way?
I bought Nuts and Bolts at launch to get Banjo-Kazooie for free, but I've yet to even use the disc once. I also own PDZ and Viva Pinata physically.

Yes, that's essentially how it works. You'll get the XBLA/GoD versions of the games that were originally on the 360. And you'll get all the DLC as well. So you might as well sell PDZ, Viva Pinata, and N&B for $1

Okay. Maybe I'll just play them on 360 then.

Most of us inverts only invert Y though. Having left and right inverted as well would be a nightmare.
No, he's wrong, you don't get the 360 versions on your 360.
You should play Nuts & Bolts though, it's great in it's own right, it's just not a Banjo platformer.

Ah, okay. I thought it was maybe too good to be true.
I've been meaning to play Nuts and Bolts, but just haven't gotten around to it. The new direction it took kind of turned me off.
Whoops! Misread that. Sorry. I thought he was asking if he would be able to play the games as if he were playing them through Games on Demand. Not sure why I thought that.
