I read the posts on this thread for the laughs. You shouldn't even bother. I mean people claim that MS didn't know if Rare owned Donkey Kong or not after they bought them. I mean I thought a big corporation like MS, would at least check all Rare's asset before they acquired them. Hell, even ask somebody at Rare if they own DK if they really wanted it. |
I know how people are.
However as for DK MSFT actually did originally think that was a part of Rare. When they went to meet Rare they had seen pictures and cardboard cut outs of Donkey Kong at Rare's office so they had originally thought it was a part of them. However, once the deal was made Im sure they already knew it wasnt, though we dont know that part of the subject.
To this day DKC and DKL has been confusing. It was only just now that NIntendo were finally able to bring them to Eshop (unknown if there was actually a deal with Rare and MSFT to do this). Also enemies disappearing like King K Rool and the crocs can be attributed to the same conversation as all that work was created by Rare and not Nintendo. Because all that DKC has been a confusing subject for over a decade
There isnt too many people who knows more about Rare than I do, or at least on VGC. The part that aggravates me is the bashing of Rare even when they do make good games (Kameo, Conker, Viva Pinatas, etc) yet never even played them.
