It's okay but a Banjo Threeie would be a million times better. N&B would have been better if it came out after THreeie as a spinoff.

The game can't be made because MS controls Rare, and Rare is now a Kinect developer.

There is a 5% chance for a new KI, but only a .1% for a JFG.

Well a great new JFG is reason enough for me to buy a 720, seriously i dont get how MS screwed up so much. i personally have no intrest in anything MS has done however they own the company that could turn all that around and all they have given us was mediocre garbage. a new Banjo, Conker or JFG would immediatley sell me on their console, but so far 2 have released and 2 have given me no hope in the company. i guess they still have 1 more chance, but this was my fave n64 game so my standards would be higher than usual

They have a huge studio.  Those kinect games are basically printing money for them and takes very little time to make.  They are working on  other hardcore titles as well.

I wish they were, but they aren't... you know it's true. Maybe they are working on a franchise, but it won't be a sequel or anything... it'll be another spinoff like N&B I bet.

The thing is is that Kinect Sports 395345 makes money, Jet Force Gemini 2 won't. And even if it could, Rare is only a shell of its former self.

This is dead:

It's been replaced by:

It's sad... I'd pay $100 for an old school Rare game sequel on the 720 like JFG 2 or KI3 or BK3 or BToads or even a new IP like Urchin or Quest. Even Kameo 2 had potential. But they won't happen.

Kinect Sports Season 3 will though.

I dunno.  In my opinion, Banjo Tooie wasn't all that great.  It seems like they ran out of good ideas after BK and just made the game ridiculously large and convoluted.  It felt really bloated and unintuitive.  Just thinking of Cuckoo Cloud Land and Glitter Glutch Mines makes me cringe.  Nuts and Bolts had some rough edges, but it was really creative and charming, and it's my favorite UGC game.

That's not to say that I wouldn't like to have seen Rare take another crack at a platformer (DK64 was pretty good at least) but BK Nuts and Bolts was really good.

Microsoft didn't necessarily kill Rare - a lot of Rare was leaving before MS bought them. If anything, I think Nintendo saw that Rare was going to decline soon so they decided to let MS have them. Even if Rare stayed with Nintendo their decline was inevitable.

The thing I do not get though is why MS doesn't take advantage of Rare's franchises. Killer Instinct, Conker, kart Racing, Banjo Kazooie, and Perfect Dark have millions of fans...

Also I think it would help the 360 get more diversity. The 360 has a distinct lack of retail platformers so it could've had a huge one on its hand. Tooie was huge but I still love it. Threeie could've been awesome on the 360 hardware.

N&B wasn't a bad game, but after 8 years of waiting Threeie would've been better, THEN followed by N&B.

B&K barely got a semi-sequel after 8 years of demand... Jet Force Gemini practically has NO chance of ever seeing a sequel. Heck, it will never go on XBLA either.

Kinect Sports 2 wasnt made by them.  We know for a fact that they are working on a hardcore title due to many statements that they have made in the last year.  Not really sure why you are in here trying to say other wise.  It could be a remake, reboot, sequel, or a completely new IP but we do know they are working on a hardcore title.  Kinect Sports probably took them a half a year to make.  Do you honestly think that took much man power?  No.

oh i know Rare was screwed and its not MS fault, but studios out there still have the quality to make these games. i wish MS would go make a studio like the 3D Mario team, or the multitude of Sonys 3D platdormer teams. and a new JFG could be huge if the right studio made it, that game pushed tye boundries imaging a new one on 720. the scope of it would be insane, side note it must stay cartoonish. i dont want another game like Bomberman: Realistic SciFi Horse Manure
