Revolution News | Rare Games To Become Even Rarer?

By Karn Spydar Lee Bianco 27.03.2006 10

Some unfortunate news has been circulating the net recently concerning Rare's support (or rather lack there of) for the Revolution's Virtual Console. After the recent GDC conference a spokesman working for Microsoft and Rare confirmed that no Rare-owned licenses will be making an appearance on Nintendo's Revolution system. This is likely to include stellar titles such as Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, the Banjo titles and Conker's Bad Fur Day too name but a few.



Despite this, certain titles published by Nintendo such as the popular expansion pack wielding Donkey Kong 64 and wacky fun racer Diddy Kong racing amongst others could still be made available. Whilst not the most shocking of news revelations considering Rare's current affiliations the news will still come as a sore blow to many Nintendo fans looking to get in some classic N64 gaming.

Have Goldeneye on N64 so i dont need for the REV!! mwuahahha!!!
Anyway you guys didnt really think that it was gonna happen!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

I could understand not getting Perfect Dark and perhaps Conker, but I hope we get the Banjo titles and Goldeneye...
