Rare discusses with Microsoft about moving back to Nintendo.

Well, that doesn't mean they can't still make 3DS games.

It means that the games they will make will either A: Suck B: will be remakes or C: will be decent games that get no advertisement because Microsoft wont let them be advertised

No they wont or Microsoft will refuse to allow the game top be published and if it is published Microsoft will take Nintendo to court and win because they have exclusive control over rare
 
I like all the people saying they love the Conker series in this thread. I'm not entirely convinced they know how vulgar and audacious it is.

I also love all the Microsoft hate. They legally acquire the rights to a company that makes a few Donkey Kong games and, OH MY GOD, they're the ultimate evil! Fanaticism is so very amusing.
 
I came.

Also, I'd like to see Conker again--the N64 game was actually fun and was more of a parody of M-rated games.
 
there's so much wrong with the title of this thread, it's amazing:

1: The "new" linked in the OP dates as far back as April.

2: As pointed out earlier, developing for a Nintendo handheld /=/ "moving back" with Nintendo. Microsoft has no handheld device of its own and no interest in entering the market, so it's perfectly acceptable for Rare to develop for the 3DS. But that doesn't indicate anything toward a change in ownership.

3: That isn't even a new developement for Rare, because they already developed Diddy Kong Racing DS and Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise (two epic blockbusters everybody remember) for the DS while under Microsoft ownership.

and honestly, I really don't see the big deal considering Rare is essentially a shambling corpse of its former self destined to whore out shitty Kinect minigame compilation and X360 Avatars up until the remainder of its corporate life. I mean, when the pitch of their latest product is:

Get fighting fit the Kinect Sports way! Hit calorie-loss targets by beating mascot rivals in the Calorie Challenge Pack: STEADY CELERY, BLAZING BANANA, MIGHTY MILK, SUPER SODA, PEPPY PIZZA, and CHUNKY CHOCOLATE. Also includes Free Play mode and 10 achievements for 250 gamerscore, with food mascots selectable in Party Play.

I think it would be better to pray that more competent developers snatch up Rare's license. I'm sure Retro Studios could make a decent Banjo game...

Microsoft would not sell Banjo or Conker it would be bad for business

They haven't made a Banjo/Conker game for years! Half of the people I know don't even know him

So maybe that's there plan a franchise that has games that people enjoy and could sell on a nintendo system but no on a Microsoft system and they own it and wont let go of it
 
Conker is not a good idea for Smash 4, considering his M-rated history; of course, this is a moot point, seeing as Solid Snake is in Brawl. At least the Banjo-Kazooie series hasn't gone above E10+.
