[Red Dragon]

I thought it was neat that these companies have been confirmed for Nintendo Revolution.

Re: 3rd Partys Confirmed For Revolution

Wonder if Square will give Nintendo a good game this time instead of something like Crystal Chronicles, and the also not so well recieved Tactics Advance.

Of course most of those companies are the usual suspects for Nintendo, except for maybe Koei, Atlus, and UbiSoft. I see Rare has no plans for working with Nintendo again so far, glad to see Capcom still there.

Re: 3rd Partys Confirmed For Revolution

They are making another FF:CC game. Hopefully they will make more than just that though.

Rare's pretty much ran out of gas, with FRD gone.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Um, isn't Rare currently 2nd-party to Microsoft? Aside from them letting other developers create games using their trademarks (I think B-K: Grunty's Revenge and Banjo Pilot were released on GBA after Microsoft bought them), I don't think we're going to see any Rare games on Nintendo consoles. I could be wrong, though (as I often am when it comes to these things).

The unfortunate thing about this is, no downloadable Snake Rattle N Roll or Blast Corps.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

There's still a chance of Blast Corps being on the backlog.

Including Natsume and Midway, about 30 devs are onboard.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Rare is still working on GBA stuff. They were the ones that ported DKC 1-3 to GBA. They made Grunty's Revenge too. They are also lisenced DS developers and are probably working on something for the system.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Huh, I thought Nintendo ported the DKC games to GBA, with Rare's name being on them simply because they were the ones who created them before. Especially what with Nintendo having reaquired the rights to Donkey Kong (and presumably all the DK characters Rare invented).

[Naruto]

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Well, you thought wrong. And Rare never owned the rights to DK so Nintendo never had to reaquire any rights to it.

[Smurvis]

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Rare owned the rights to publish Donkey Kong games with their new and current version of him that they invented for Donkey Kong Country in 1994. At least I think it was 1994. But the character Donkey Kong was always owned by Nintendo.

So yeah, you're both half-right.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

DK was around WAY before Rare I think.

Re: 3rd Partys Confirmed For Revolution

and the also not so well recieved Tactics Advance.

You kidding?!

The only game I played more than that was Xenogears.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Rare never published a DK game either. They were published by Nintendo. Rare developed some DK games and that's it.

Re: 3rd Parties Confirmed For Revolution

Okay, I figured Rare was co-owning DK due to Nintendo games using DK stating in the credits that "DK used with permission from Rare." Or maybe "DK model used".

As a side-note, how could I forget the B-K games? I wouldn't mind those at a new higher resolution. ...And the Canary Mary mini-games made more controller/thumb-friendly.
