Is DK64 a possibility?

[Molgera]

I'm pretty much brand new here on these forums and I've read a thing or two about some Rare and VC issues. DK64 was my favorite game for the 64 (wasn't at the time but now that i look back i had more good memories of DK64 than OOT) and I'd love to see it added to VC. Seeing as Donkey kong Country and its sequel are on VC, would DK64 have any characters or attributes that would keep it from being released on VC? Or am i just misinterpreting everything about the Rare and VC issues.

Definitely. Once DKC 3 is released, there is almost no doubt of seeing DK64 appearing.

If I had to guess, I'd say DKC 3 will come out around Fall, and DK64 in early 2008.

We have characters from DK64 appearing in both Rare's portable ports and Paon's upcoming DK Jet. It will be released, there's no licensing issue here.

There may be a size issue though.

I agree after DKC 3 is released they will release at some point. It is the last DKC game released ever although it wasn't called DKC 4.

Donkey Kong are owned by Nintendo so It will definately come some day

All told, if a Rare game was available for Virtual Console, I would want Jet Force Gemini or Perfect Dark first.

I'd say Goldeneye, then Perfect Dark... Then Jet force Gemini. However, DK64 will come regardless. Nintendo owns the characters, not Rare. I would like to see Diddy Kong Racing, but I doubt.

It would have been an insult to call DK64 part of the DKC series...they have nothing alike. i'd take any DKC game over DK64 any day of the week

I'm not agreeing much there.

I consider DK64 to be DKC 64 or DKC 4.

It just happened they didn't name it that way.

Does Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 64 play the same? Not really.

Is it a part of the Bros series?

Yep. At least I think so.
