RARE's GBA team interview (IGN)
- Thread starter Kon Tiki
- Start date
DKC3 stands as the only game I ever completed 100% (Or 103%, I think was the total) Great game, I'd buy it for GBA in a second.
I think MS's support for that is token, at best, porting a few older PC games. I doubt they'd invest money developing for the system exclusively, they know it's going to bomb.

Donkey Kong Country 3 was the most pathetic slop of shit to come out of Rare in the 1990s. It's amazing that it even shared the same name as the previous two sequels.
Blast Corps on DS would be nice, especially if they can do it without the texture-pixalation issues that most DS games have. I wonder if Nintendo would publish it, or if they'd let THQ or whoever take care of it.

Oh come on, while it never rose to the heights of the previous game (DKC2…the best in the series), it was far, far from a bad game. Nor was DK64 incidentally, but its problem was that it just had too much stuff to do, i.e collect largely. Compared to your typical 3rd party 'make a quick buck' offerings though, ALL of Rare's 1990's platforming efforts shit on the competition.

Indeed. Whereas the talent from the DKC team apparently all went to work on the B-K series, which is obvious from the quality of the respective titles.
Not that I thought much of DKC2 either. I certainly don't get all the praise it gets for it's music, DKC shits all over it in that respect.
Well technically yes, point is though that the standard of quality for these games were still much higher than your typical third party platformer. I played through DKC3 and it is a decent game, just a follow up to the previous two maintaining the same basic formula. DKC64 I rented and got about three levels in, yes it can get repetitive and mundane and I think Rare simply tried to pack too much shit in and made the game too bloated and monotonous for its own good. Yet, I wouldn't consider these games to be bad, just flawed (particularly DKC64). However, these games are still light years ahead of some truly shit platformers released by third parties during the 16/32/64 bit era and I don't think it's correct to lump Rare's stuff in the same category.

I liked it a bit as well. While the collection of items was extreme, the production values were great. I found it to be a lot more enjoyable than DK3.

i must admit i also found it enjoyable to some extent, especially with the long droughts back in the N64 days, but that still doesn't nullify the fact that its a horrible POS game that i'd regret paying for if it wasn't for the fact that it had a free Expansion Pak included.

I actually liked the game. Maybe it was because I didn't try collect everything that I was supposed to. That's also why I never beat the game...
If they remade DK64 and took out the whole "collect x amount of this colored banana with y monkey" I think it would be much more enjoyable.

I hope MS continue to be lenient on the handheld front, and publish games either through themselves or third parties like THQ.
Rare's N64 games are just begging to be pillaged. Especially the ones that would work well on DS thanks to the features. Blast Corps would be awesome. Then there's the IP that MS is amassing from the likes of Bungie. That could deal a blow or two depending on the system the games landed on.
