Recently THQ have agreed to distribute both Battle For Naboo, and Indiana Jones for the N64 in March and April.

Both great games, that I didn't want to miss.

Now, they've revealed that they will be distributing Conkers Bad Fur Day in Europe in April.

That's just one month after the US release!

Now if we can just get them to stop the Rugrats games.....

the games C++ coding is done in THQ in UK and then the cartridges are manufactured in Japan.

RARE have been aorund for along, they've made all sorts of games, Jet Pac, Donkey Kong Country (although Shigsy invented him), Banjo, Goldeneye, and they've never failed since. They hardly make a game below par although some games weren't that good ie. Blast Corps and Mickeys Speedway USA, you can always find the RARE seal of quality.
That's why RARE are part of the Nintendo family, the big guns on Nintendo's side that produce the games that have so much quality to bring to their machine.
Nintendo has their friends and enemies aswell, not Sony not sega it is Squaresoft for backing off producing games for the N64, i can only hope they have forgiven them of spoiling such a good partnership between them since the NES days.
But we have RARE now are in Squaresoft's seat now.
RARE's quality in all kinds of genres has earned them several BAFTA's. They have made fighting games, racing games, platformers, shoot em' ups all of them are strangely their strongpoints. If Nintendo didn't snap them up who wouldn't? They are a young team of developers that are full of weird and wonderful ideas, you can see that with some games such as Conkers Bad Fur Day, they always know what we the gamer wants and we get it. RARE's ideas are always new they never go for the same old thing again.
Perfect Dark was delayed and all that we thought in our dreams wouldn't happen it happened, RARE made a Goldeneye beater to show that the Bond license wasn't needed, they can create their characters so well cute and cuddly, sexy and sneaky, small but rude, they've done all that in a lifetime of good achievements, RARE game makers may have split off to work on other machines but as a team RARE is the best by far
