Microsoft is sitting on a precious Rare that still hasn't been used.

They initially thought they got donkey-kong in the deal, thats the reason why they bought them at the first place. It's no wonder that they didn't "do" anything with them after they realized they didn't get that IP.

LOL Thats dumb of them. They must not know their gaming history. The most famous Donkey Kong ever was made by Rare but the IP was created by Nintendo.

At that time though, microsoft didn't have a real gaming precence. They needed some good IP's and 'Rare made DKC' and seemed like a good deal at the time atleast.
Then the deal went through and "huh, DK is still a nintendo IP?... shit" i mean, rare still have/had some great IP's but nothing that was known to the general public except donkey kong.
