Wow, this is great News R.O.B! I've always wanted Banjo on the VC!

[Radretrogamer]

What other games does that open up to VC possibilities?

[Pit 42]

Awesome! I was just starting to lose hope for ol' Banjo. Excellent!

Radretrogamer: I'm sure this opens up possibilities for Conker, Perfect Dark, and Battletoads.

This makes me even less optimistic than I was before.

Look, we already know that Microsoft owns the Rare franchises from the SNES and N64... Since Nintendo owns the exclusive publishing rights to Rare's SNES and N64 games, this means that Nintendo and Microsoft have to come to a mutual agreement which, considering they are console competitors, means this:

We will never see Rare's SNES and N64 games on a console ever again... Not on the Virtual Console and not even on Xbox Live Arcade.

However, Donkey Kong 64 would be unaffected by this and it DOES give hope for one unexpected franchise game from Rare... If Activision wills it, we WILL see GoldenEye on the Virtual Console.

I'm sorry if I'm a bit of a downer, but I've got my own Rare games that I would pay $10 for that I don't want to be excited for a game that may never come... (Oh, Jet Force Gemini and Perfect Dark, how I would spend $10 each on you two just to get you on a modern console)

I spilt the beans on this on VCA.

Now i'm accomplished.

Shhhhh!! This is supposed to be a happy occasion!! Why say things like 'Oh, it'll never happen' and 'it's impossible' in a moment of joy? Please, I'm in a good mood.
