they even have DKC

either just easter egg or something big is happening between Nintendo and Microsoft.

It's fucking nothing.JIf

 

[cyberheater]

Just because Rare is resuscitating these games doesn't mean that they're going to go anywhere after the shoddy initial entry.

Remember this?

I had this game and can't find a copy of it anywhere. I'd love to try it again to remember how much fun it was.

It's probably nothing.

 

[ThEoRy...]

To be honest, I really don't quite understand the fascination with Killer Instinct these days. Yes, I had a ton of fun with it back in the day. Yes I pretty much mastered every character/combo etc. and destroyed all of my friends. Is it a good idea to revive this fighting game IP and make it a first party exclusive on modern consoles? I don't think so.

It's not 1994 and the fighting game market is pretty niche as it is. Making it a console exclusive seems like a risky move. I'm sure we can all agree that Rare's talent is better utilized reviving other franchises you would rather see with a much greater reward to risk ratio.

 

[Brilliant Disaster]

If Rare didn't suck ass now i may have been excited.

 

[dcx4610]

Still not enough to convince me to get a Xbone.

Killer Instinct is one of my all time favorite games but none of the programmers are still with Rare that had anything to do with it.

If I want to play KI or Battletoads, I'll play the arcade version and the NES game respectively.

PDZ was a great game

 

[Y2Kev]

I think KI is totally happening and I think that is honestly a little funny.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Marketing has shot down Battletoads on numerous occasions. They don't think it's popular enough and only fueled by nostalgia.

Funny? I don't follow.

 

[SuperWes]

Nuts and bolts was an amazing game

YES! I want a sequel to Nuts and Bolts. I could see it being a full on Minecraft: The Game instead of just allowing car creation.

[trmas]

Rare is the ONLY thing that would convince me to buy an XBone. Fortunately for me, they've been dead for years now.

 

[Poker Face]

If theres a new KI I'll be stoked.

I would also love to see a new Banjo and Conker.

I also remember Kameo, Banjo, Viva and Kinect Sports. All good games.

A lot of people loved Viva Pinata, Kameo, and some of the other RARE games.

 

[Wishmaster92]

no new perfect dark, pass.......

Oh well. Not that I had faith that the Rare of now could make a game with anywhere near the same amount of heart as the old games did.

 

[King_Moc]

The Xbox audience mostly wouldn't buy them, even if they were good. Which seems unlikely nowadays.

How on earth did Viva Pinata and Nuts and Bolts bomb? Craziness.

 

[Splash Wave]

I can't imagine what a modern rendition of Killer Instinct would look like.

 

[Striek]

Battletoads and traditional B-K, yes, yes, yes... please. I assume theres no chance of them doing a N&Bs 2.

Never understood the love for KI though.

 

[L Thammy]

Battletoads Kinect!

[Max Knight]

Won't matter with the DRM thing still in place. No game would make that ok.

This is what I was thinking.

Although, if Rare announces a new Battletoads, Gamestops across the country will be weeping.

Drowning in tears.

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

I´m a huge Banjo-Kazooie fan, but man that would be really tough for me if a proper third action adventure/platformer would come for MS drm machine.

I think if the game turns out good/great i would have to rent the console and game for a week to get my fix.

I downloaded and played the Nuts and Bolts demo. I really hoped it was going to be a proper sequel to Banjo. Sadly it was not so no buy from me.

 

[outsida]

They aren't crazy enough to do a new battletoads....

 

[Anticitizen One]

its happening

edit: first respawn exclusive rumour turns out to be true and now this..

The original gif wasnt funny but oh man this got me

Yep. Pretty much all the talent of the developer left, all they have nowadays is a shell of what used to be a brand and some IP's collecting dust while waiting to be ruined.

 

[geebee]

Battletoads and Double Dragon remake/sequel please!

 

[Data West]

How about a new Viva Pinata. At least you know you can make those.

 

[Ocaso]

Battletoads

Would by Xbone for it.

Is it wrong that I'd consider it a greater incentive to get Xbone than Halo?

The answer is 'no, it's not wrong at all'.

Perhaps they are revisiting their entire back catalog?

 

[pixlexic]

it's a party game starring characters from all those games for kinect.

 

[RdN]

I'm not getting my hopes up..

 

[Kariodude]

I can't wait to play as Killer Instinct

 

[MrKayle]

C-C-C-Combo Breaker!

 

[Byronic Hero]

Please, no Banjo Platformer. I can't afford to buy another Microsoft console for a B-K game. Not again......

I can't take another crushing disappointment like the one I suffered with Nuts and Bolts.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I want new things, but I LOVE Battletoads.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

So Rare owned Battletoads all this time and the last Battletoads was published by EA and developed by Rare the same year Donkey Kong Country released. Was rare still a 3rd party then?

Either way booo to Rare, Nintendo and Microsoft for not giving us more Battletoads.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Brace yourselves for a shitty more modern take on Battletoads, I am expecting the worst.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I can promise Microsoft one thing. If not a single one of these games is shown at E3 I am DONE with Xbox. I know these page URLs mean nothing i'm just saying i've been sticking with Xbox for the hope they would keep making classic 90s Rare games but they seem to have given up that dream several years ago now. No good Rare games unveiled, no Xbox One purchase from me.

 

[sleepykyo]

How bad could a gritty reboot of Battletoads be?

 

[Freakinchair]

A new REAL Banjo game would be a huge megaton if it's xbone exclusive. I totally forgot about Rare.
