please

I would even take a remake or something collection flavored on XBLA or whatever it will be called on Xbone.

 

[ronito]

But don't you want to replay the Turbo Tunnel level with MOTION CONTROLS?!

Really wouldn't mind a Battletoads Collection on XBLA.

Microsoft would get a huge class action suit for all the heart attacks they caused.

 

[gohanrage]

How could you do battletoads in 3D? I had the original game for NES and it was incredibly Hard. Never seen what they did with the SNES game

Hard to Believe 2D games will be on Xbox ONe and PS4.

Will we ever see cartoon / cel shading

 

[Dramos]

I'm dying to hear some new trash-talk/references/sarcasm from Kazooie.

 

[gohanrage]

Some people want a Sequel to Conkers bad fur Day

 

[qa_engineer]

BATTLETOADS was the shit growing up. If they do it right I might have to buy an XBone.

 

[ec0ec0]

why would you like new rare making this games? the only thing that has not change is the ip. If you want to give me a new banjo, ask nintendo about it. I trust them.

And hello PRISM.

 

[Dramos]

Some people want a Sequel to Conkers bad fur Day

From what I heard, this is unlikely since Conker is Chris Seavor's baby.

 

[Persona7]

Please. A proper sequel for Banjo. Please.....

I hope we get the proper sequel the best game in the series deserves.

Nuts and Bolts 2.

From what I heard, this is unlikely since Conker is Chris Seavor's baby.

He owns the franchise rights?

 

[Pie and Beans]

The only RARE property I can ever get hyped about.

Hyper-realistic terrifying Battletoads.

DO IT.

 

[CrisKre]

I don't want a killer instinct game. Literally ANY other of the rare properties id prefer instead of KI.

I won't buy an XBone, but Im still curious to see what rate has in store (as long as it's not KI).

 

[fluffydelusions]

Better with Kinect

 

[Sorian]

A proper Banjo sequel (that lives up to the reputation) is probably the only thing that could get me to buy an Xbone if they got the exclusive. I don't see that happening but there it is in writing.

 

[CrisKre]

did you forget the k or the h?

Lol. Good one. Either one probably works.

[thecouncil]

Nuts and Bolts 2, please. It's definitely a more unique concept than a collect-a-thon 3D platformer.

 

[NotLiquid]

From what I heard, this is unlikely since Conker is Chris Seavor's baby.

Rare has the rights to it so they can still make it. Speaking personally though, Rare's older talent being gone is almost inherently more harmful for Conker than any other franchise. You can strip away half of the staff that made Banjo and still make a Banjo game that looks and feels nice even though it would have nowhere near the same amount of heart, but Seavor practically is Conker. Without his wit, voice, writing and charisma, it would never be the same. The initial South Park comparisons with the game were true for more reasons than one - without that consistent talent, you stand to lose everything it has to offer.

Nuts and Bolts 2.

I guess unless Rare has the legitimate rights to Conker ,but I wouldn't mind having N&B 2. As along as they prioritize and re-incorporate classic platforming. The vehicular platforming was a good idea I think it didn't benefit from the environment setting and story line. It should have been placed second. You would build a car and plane just for the heck of it and play mini games. Having said, I need some next-gen "jiggy" and "easter egg" collecting!

 

[Troubled Bat]

Why did Nintendo give up Rare in the first place?

 

[Secret Fawful]

Rare, you cocky trolling motherfuckers.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Nuts and Bolts 2, please. It's definitely a more unique concept than a collect-a-thon 3D platformer.

While I completely disagree for the reasoning behind this, I hope for another Nuts and Bolts so I can justify never buying an X1. Because if there was a new 3D platformer, I'd actually consider a purchase, and I really don't want it to have to come to that.

 

[NotLiquid]

Why did Nintendo give up Rare in the first place?

Pretty sure it had to do with the fact that Rare was costing Nintendo a tons of money due to their constantly extended dev times and circumstances. Conker's Bad Fur Day was the straw that broke the camel's back and Dinosaur Planet wasn't too hot.

 

[ChosenPredator]

fucking battletoads wow lol that was unexpected and pretty damn awesome if true

 

[Troubled Bat]

Rah. I'm sure at this point, Nintendo wouldn't care for such things. Since they want to bring the hardcore back, apparently. Then Banjo & Kazooie in Smash? D:

Also, if Retro/EAD worked on Rare titles. O.e

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

At this point, I'm not even sure how I'd react to a new Banjo-Kazooie, even if it were a real platformer.

Most of the people who worked on Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie have left now. I honestly don't think modern-day Rare could make a Banjo game on par with the first two. I'd love to be proven wrong, but there's currently no reason to believe otherwise.

Grant Kirkhope is no longer with Rare, so the soundtrack certainly wouldn't be as good.

 

[realityaxe]

Yes, YES AND YES!
It would be amazing if this were true and all these games made an appearance at E3. Banjo exclusive would definitely make it hard to resist the temptation of owning the xbox one.

Just hope there's more surprises on the way. Looking forward to what E3 holds, sounds like we won't be disappointed.

 

[Robot Pants]

Yes battle toads. Let me relive my childhood

Time to never pass the second level in a new generation!

 

[thecouncil]

I'll set my expectations for any sequels to these franchises at "you control it with kinect" level.

 

[Naked Prime]

sorry if already mentioned, but I had no clue Rare/MS own Battletoads. If so, I'm gonna boycott answering the phone at work (Gamestop). Killer Instinct or bust

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Www.sabre-wulf.com

Well damn.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Will KI come with a Killer Cuts Album?!?

 

[qa_engineer]

Time to never pass the second level in a new generation!

Haha! Time to enter all the cheat codes and still suck.

 

[wenis]

Time for disappointment... I'll never get to play that new Battletoads.

 

[Satchel]

A collect a thon Banjo, Battletoads and KI?

Oh man, my wallet would beat the shit out of me and drag me into a store.

 

[Silky]

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 liked PDZ. :c

 

[grandjedi6]

yea apparently no one saw this on the home page

there will probably be info on every game they've made

Maybe we need to emphasize this a bit more

 

[Chrisness]

I had lots of fun playing Perfect Dark Zero multiplayer.

 

[G0523]

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

It's okay. So did Microsoft...For like eight years.

 

[El_Chino]

Www.sabre-wulf.com

What could this be?

 

[Coldnoodle]

yea apparently no one saw this on the home page

Hmmm.

 

[NIGHT-]

Don't tease me, Banjo is one of my favorite franchises out there =[

 

[fallagin]

Oh shit, battletoads could be pretty epic.

 

[Zee-Row]

I can't get excited since the people that worked on the originals are no longer with Rare.

 

[AoM]

I can't get excited since the people that worked on the originals are no longer with Rare.

Except Gregg Mayles.

 

[Poimandres]

With the current popularity of 2D platformers, Battletoads could work as a downloadable game surely?

Yeah... it's never going to happen.

I think the website update is exactly what is going on here.

 

[SDBurton]

I will flip my shit if we really get a new KI. I need to stop while I'm ahead because I'm not sure if I can handle a let down like that.

 

[puebla]

it makes sense to do something with battletoads on arcade. they would have to have balls of steel to remake it as a 3d game but it would be amazing.

 

[Dai101]

Belligerent Amphibians or bust

 

[Muku]

Would make for an interesting E3 if any truth is in it. But I kind of doubt it. Though not sure I could trust Rare enough to tackle it. I wanted a Banjo-Kazooie sequel and we got Nuts and Bolts. :/ I'm praying they're just placeholders at this point. If there was an actual sequel to these games, I'd cry. Because I'm not supporting the XB1 as it stands now.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

I would have been excited for this in the past, but over the years the company seems to have lost many employees and their touch.
