I just realized that if Rare games aren't available for download with the Wii... we'll be missing some of the top N64 games of all time


:o If we won't be able to download ones half-owned by Nintendo, which are in red, here's what we'll miss:

Conker's Bad Fur Day, an action game that many people enjoy.
Goldeneye 007, possible the best shooter I've ever played.Donkey Kong 64, a great platformer with great graphics.
Pefect Dark, perhaps better than Goldeneye 007.
Diddy Kong Racing, an awesome racing title.
Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, also great platformers.

Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct Gold,

also Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini, two games I haven't heard of.

And many many many more
 
Here are the titles that are coming to the Virtual Console almost 100% -

Donkey Kong 64
Diddy Kong Racing

The others, almost 100% not.
 
Nintendo may own the rights to those games (Spare Banjo and Conker in DKR), but I think Rare owns the actual code. (And I doubt Microsoft would want their property on their opponent's system)

Plus PD is owned all by Rare (As is B-K and B-T). Didn't you notice PD0 on the 360?

Donkey Kong 64 was a collaborative project between Rare and Nintendo, and there is NO doubt that this is coming to the VC. Diddy Kong Racing is a bit of a more muddy case.

As for the other games, they might be coming to Xbox Live Arcade.
 
Then I suppose Nintendo could have ported the DKC series to GBA themselfs OH WAIT THEY COULDN'T. Rare had to do it.

100% my *CEN-1.01-SORD*.
