I don't think Microsoft has enough known character. Yes, there are Master Chief, Marcus from Gears...and then? This two are more famous than any other Sony's characters, but they're just two! |
Banjo Kazooie

They might have a bit of difficulty getting it past Nintendo, is my only worry.
|
Why would it be difficult?
Rareware owns Banjo Kazooie, not Nintendo
|
Last time I checked, Nintendo published Banjo Kazooie, which is why there's only been the one 360 game (and not a very good one at that). It's also why there's no Conker, or Starfox, or Goldeneye/ Perfect Dark exclusives for the 360.
There's a not-so-straightforward deal between the two, I feel. It's why Rare still does the odd game for Nintendo (Viva Pinata, Diddy Kong Racing), and why they've mainly had to do new IP's.
It would not be straightforward, and it's if Microsoft really care. I don't think they do.

Can you explain to me why Banjo Kazooie appeared on the XBLA but not on the Wii's Virtual Console if that is the case?
Matterfact unless you can confirm it, I believe both Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark 64 were both published by Rare LTD (Nintendo published Perfect Dark in Japan though).
Conker is owned by Rareware.
Star Fox is owned by Nintendo.
Diddy Kong Racing is owned by Nintendo.
GoldenEye is a James Bond license and can be freely developed by different developers, the GoldenEye you are referring to is the reimagined/reboot that was released on the Wii, PS3 and xbox360 right? It wasnt developed by Rareware.
Have you heard of Perfect Dark Zero... Have you heard of Conker Live and Reloaded....
Viva Pinata was published by THQ (unsure why or how that happened, but it must of been one of those rare moments - No pun intended xd).

Perhaps I was mistaken then. Rare has done so little of note as of late that I assumed it was due to licensing issues (which I know is the case for Goldeneye), for all of the games.
After doing more research, I see now that Banjo, as a series, is now owned by Rare, so Microsoft. Doesn't mean it'll appear on the imaginary game, though, due to it being known more as a Nintendo series than a Microsoft one.
It doesn't matter, as such a game would never happen anyway...
