Yesterday we shocked you with the news that Nintendo has sold it's 49% stake it held in Rare to Microsoft. Now we know who has the right for what franchise.
Many of you must have been wondering about what will happen with games like Banjo Kazooie, or more importantly, Perfect Dark.
New details have now hit the net. Nintendo has sold the rights to: Perfect Dark, Conker, and Banjo Kazooie to Microsft/Rareware. Nintendo will keep the rights for Donkey Kong and Star Fox, and will internally develop the next Donkey Kong game.
What will happen to Kameo: Elements of Power is still unknown. It's probably (unfortunately) safe to say that this game won't come out on the GameCube, as it has never been released on another Nintendo console before, and Nintendo thus doesn't have any rights to it.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo no more PD for cube :(

To be honest as much as I love Rare games I can't say I'm that bothered anymore, when I first read the rumours I filled the air with expletives but to be honest 2 Rare games a year isn't gonna damage the Gamecubes release schedule.
Though when the pictures of a Banjo sequel start flooding in i'll probably be saying otherwise.

I'll miss PD no doubt there but as microchips says we still get starfox so it's not the end of the world :D
It's not like we don't get Starfox. At least we have that! Besides, the guys behind goldeneye left Rare and became free radical design (Along thos elines anyway! :D). Timesplitters 2 is going to rock, but if you are so bothered about PD, get an Xbox off of Ebay or something. You could always take the cheap-@ss way out and stick a photo of Jonna on the screen and pretend it's here! :D
I'm covered- thank god Microsoft gave me that free Xbox!

Why should it have massivly failed ? Theres loads of excellent games coming to the X-Box, Rare will be just adding a few extra titles to the list.

If your such a big Rare fan, Stop crying and go out and buy an Xbox.
Thats logical.

Ah, I would have given a toss a while back.
But I bought an xbox a couple weeks back so i'm fine :)
Although GameCube has done pretty well so far without any Rare games at all. But Conker's BFD rates in in my top 3 N64 games (most enjoyable game without a doubt for me). Is kinda sad to see them moving ship, almost thought of them as a part of Nintendo.

Well I can safely say I don't care.
