Well, that doesn't mean they can't still make 3DS games.
Rare discusses with Microsoft about moving back to Nintendo.

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 advertisedPinkie Pie said:
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 rareDr. Eggman said:
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.

That's how the game is to me too.Gummy said:

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:
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...

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 itWayward Vagabond said:

You think that's farfetched, take a look at Brawl's ratings. ESRB rated it T, while the OFLC rated it PG. The T rating that the ESRB uses is basically the equivalent to a PG-13 rated movie. In, fact I do see a pattern with ESRB and movie ratings...
E = G
E10+ = PG
T = PG-13
M = R
AO = NC-17

What's NC-17?MnSG said:

You're kidding, right? NC-17 basically means that no one under the age of 17 is permitted to see the movie. Reasons can include language, blood, sex, and nudity, but at more extreme levels than what an R rated movie can pull out.
With that said, time to go back on-topic.
Ever actually played Nuts and Bolts?

Well, not many movies are rated G and plenty of games are rated E.MnSG said:

It also interesting to point out that in Nuts & Bolts, the health meter is heavily redundant if you can't lose any lives, which is exactly the case in that game.
Banjo-Tooie, lose all health, you restart back at the world's start point; Banjo-Kazooie, lose all health, lose one life, and restart back at the world's start point (unless you lose your last life, where it'll be Game Over instead). None of those actions are present in Nuts & Bolts.
