The Perfect Dark and Banjo license is part owned by Nintendo and the Killer Instinct license is completley owned by Nintendo.
Also that Nintendo have stated that they haven't sold them.

The whole engine was originally coded for Conkers - Twelve Tales or whatever the original (non-mature) version was going to be called and that was completed in 1998 then the dudes left. The newbies finished it off and spent 2 years changing the content of the game in terms of story line etc.
Conker however is a Rare property. I believe we will have a sequel to that game oneday....

Is that true becase I've always said CBFD was great at the start and hilarious throughout the entier beggingin sections (I'll never forget the giant poo) but it kind of dropped a lot toward the middle then picked up a little again at the end.

Look people.
Rare haven't been the same company since all those coders and workers left and joined Free Radical (guys who created Goldeneye and all the other excellent Rare games before then), they are also the people behind Timesplitters and Timesplitters2. What have Rare given us since then?

I don't have faith in them anymore. They are crap without the original people who made the company successful.
P.S Resident Evil is panttzwetting. :D

No I did not know that about Rare, I hope it's true. Fantastic now hopefully Nintendo will throw some more Banjo and Kazzoie my way.
Don't care about Perfect Dark, if you ever bothered to notice I never praised that game (or even mentioned it) ever basically because it kinda bored me, good game though just not up to Goldeneye scratch.

Good news, though I can't see Nintendo using the Banjo and Perfect Dark names for anything.
I wish they would though, I want another Banjo game.

Rare have most probably noticed all of this, and if they're not stopped in their tracks by it then they must have something else up their sleeves.
Damn!
:-D
Damn!

Rare made the characters, it's just that because Nintendo own them, they let Nintendo have a share of the trademark.
They weren't planning to go multiformat in those days...

I hear that Nintendo own Blast Corps too.
Personally, I think Nintendo ought to give Rare their franchises back.
I doubt they plan to make proper use of them themselves.
Anyway, even if Rare do lose the PD franchise, it probably matters little.
They managed fine without the Bond liscense and it allowed them to give their game more character. Although the alien levels did sort of suck...
Having to re-design the game's setting would allow Rare to be creative and make a brand new setting for a fresh experience.
Yeah, I know it'll be an Xbox exclusive, but at the rate MS are cutting the Xbox price, by the time it comes out, the Xbox will be dead cheap anyway. :-)

Perfect Dark may still go with Rare.
