Still waiting for Banjo-Threeie. And no, Nuts and Bolts does not count.

Donkey kong country :')

lowbrassman2000 · 7 months

A lot of people forget that they made one of my favorite games.

Thugorran · 7 months

WTB Killer Instinct 3. Will trade soul.

FaultyWires · 7 months

The rendering of that logo seemed so amazing back in the day.

aquietmidnightaffair · 7 months

When I saw that logo I knew I was about to play some high quality shit!

That, or have an unnatural urge to use a silenced pistol to shoot a soldier sitting on the toilet.

PoliticalTheater101 · 7 months

I miss Killer Instinct.

elementalrain · 7 months

For some reason, after seeing this logo for years, I have only just seen it as a under-toilet paper roll. Anyone else?

DA-DA-DA, da-da-daaaaaa

They really are a shadow of their former selves. sad really, so many great games were developed by them.

n-space · 7 months

Just seeing this picture made the tune play in my head.

sora_no_tenshi · 7 months

People have to realize that there is basically noone left of the former rareware team. I guess Nintendo knew that when they sold it to microsoft.

jambo2011 · 7 months

I miss this and most of all this.

fuzzywarrior · 7 months

They've been dead to me for not releasing a Perfect Dark sequel for the GameCube.

LenweNarmolanya · 7 months

Anyone care to tell me what happened to Rare?

dubstepAmbassador · 7 months

Eurogamer recently did a good article on rare titled "Who killed rare?" worth a read http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-08-who-killed-rare

laffman · 7 months

People miss Rare and the first they think of is Diddy Kong Racer and Conker?

Fucking Battletoads series! Donkey Kong series!! Goldeneye!!! Perfect Dark!!!! Banjo Kazooie!!!!! Snake Rattle & Roll!!!!!

..and then 2003 Microsoft came and bought it and gave us Viva Piñata n shit.

coolstorybreh · 7 months

Thought it said RAPEWARE.

currentlyeating · 7 months

you are now aware that it is a toilet paper roll.

Pheeshy · 7 months

I see a lot of DK but how about Goldeneye and Perfect Dark

This thread

AbacusFinch · 7 months

For nostalgia's sake.

ldunn · 7 months

Didn't they make Donkey Kong Country?

Liquid_Milk · 7 months

If Rare wanted to be saved so badly, they would have made Perfect Dark Zero a good game. They had an opportunity and blew it. They bombed so damn badly with that game it's no wonder why MS basically stripped funding to them and have them doing that crap they're doing now.

ktroy · 7 months

It had some fierce competition, but Rare was the greatest of them all.

bellcom · 7 months

every one can blame Microsoft for no donkey Kong 3ds (64)

thesedollars · 7 months

Yeah their snes and 64 titles were all amazing. Then MS bought them out and they went to shit. The new banjo kazooie looked bad and perfect dark was shit. Conker live and reloaded on original Xbox wasn't too bad though I liked the multiplayer.

Alpha17x · 7 months

They just make XBL avatar templates and prop models now don't they? Or did they do kinect sports too? Man, so much potential is being squandered. imagine it. KI3 for xbox.

Hydros · 7 months

Then you'll love this bit! "Rare now focuses on the Kinect device, with their latest game, Kinect Sports, released in 2010 and the sequel Kinect Sports: Season Two released a year later."

with a small, glimmer of hope? "Rare is rumored to make a mature title for the next Xbox console."

alrightwtf · 7 months

I wish someone knew what where the hell to find the two creators of the company and bribe them into saving us again

Renix · 7 months

Now that I think about it, this company made the most boss games.

Vogey · 7 months

So turn on donkey kong country, and then you can see it again!

sheky · 7 months

I still prefer this

ALLCAPSON · 7 months

If you can make it into a .bik video, you can add it to the startupvids.txt file in any source engine game. (Don't trust me, haven't tried.)

fartloud · 7 months

i think people rage enough so that no one has to assossiate that with their wares.

Jibbletoad · 7 months

"Marble".

SirLaughter · 7 months

I don't, Rareware are whores now, making games for the kinect.

scots · 7 months

I'll just leave this here:

sam_in_space · 7 months

..... i liked viva pinata

Zaiton · 7 months

I just saw it now in the thumbnail but before clicking it i thought it looked like a golden roll of toiletpaper.

Darth_MOES · 7 months

I just saw this an hour ago. Played donkey kong country 2 on my snes. Love it.

firefox3d · 7 months

There used to be a lot of sweet symbols at the start of games. Now there's thing left except fucking EA, Ubisoft, and Nintnedo. That's about it.

Lucis64 · 7 months

Available for your home in 1995, only on Nintendo, Ultra 64!

giroeterno · 7 months

B-A-R-R-A-L

weedmonkey · 7 months

this looks like golden toilet paper....

[deleted] · 7 months

I read an article in the latest game informer and the interviewer said something along the lines of "Alot of fans miss seeing the rare logo in front of their favorite games," and the guy he was interviewing replied something along the lines of "This is going to sound flippant but what im most interested in is what RARE wants to do"

Thats all well and good, when rare didnt make shitty kinect games.

cyril0 · 7 months

All I see is a roll of toilet paper, hung incorrectly.

Like This

[deleted] · 7 months

solution: Print out this logo and look at it every time you start up a game

godsdebris · 7 months

This just makes me think of Donkey Kong Country.

stry8993 · 7 months

I miss seeing it at the start of a good game.

BadIdeaSociety · 7 months

I tapped out on Rare after they made Killer Instinct. For every Donkey Kong Country they made, they made Rad Racer, which is just a direct ripoff of Out Run.

deviantbias · 7 months

Not going to lie, At first I thought it was a golden roll of toilet paper.

OlderFart · 7 months

Looking at the thumbnail I had wonder why someone wouLd want a roLL of toiLet paper at the beginning of their game.

MationMac · 7 months

I guess you could call them very...

...rare.

Zombieboy1257 · 7 months

Having looked at this logo since I was a much smaller version of me, I only just noticed that it is an R. Always just thought it was a funny shape...now I feel silly

Go_Away_Masturbating · 7 months

It's not too late Rare, you can win back your old fans with a new Battletoads game!

NhrngT · 7 months

Perfect Dark was my favourite game of all time.

dmt7679 · 7 months

bring back Conker nd his fur day no matter how bad

Jel251 · 7 months

KILLER INSTINCT? Anyone? Best game ever.

picnicnapkin · 7 months

Always think it says RAPEWARE.

sheikjonez · 7 months

I miss seeing this:

MrGestore · 7 months

best sh ever.

thanks microsoft for ruining another thing :)

mrfoof82 · 7 months

I wouldn't mind an R.C. Pro-AM or Cobra Triangle followup.

0ffGrid · 7 months

Where did the composers for the music go?

I'm nostalgiaing hard, I need to know!

K-ralz · 7 months

Diddy Kong Racing was always a million motherfucking times better than Mario Kart.

JuzPwn · 7 months

Yes! N64 had the best intro's - not too long, but nice and sweet!

thatdovahkiinyouknow · 7 months

Anyone remember the name of their 3rd person N64 shooter? All I can remember was that it involved Ant of some sort. I played it at the age of 7 so It's hard to remember that far back.

GrayStudios · 7 months

Donkey Kong Country 3 was my childhood.

Hundzeug · 7 months

Donkey Kong Country.

Redeemed_Revan · 7 months

it looks kinda like a roll of golden toilet paper

herman2000 · 7 months

My favorite one

Faloran · 7 months

I guess you could say...

It was pretty rare!

AAAAAHHHH YEAH!

Tashre · 7 months

OH FUCK! RARE! I FUCKING THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY HOUSE/CUL-DE-SAC/BLOCK/TOWN/CITY/STATE/CITY-STATE/COUNTRY/CONTINENT/LOCAL GALACTIC CLUSTER THAT PLAYED RAREWARE GAMES AS A KID! I KNOW I'LL BE DOWNVOTED FOR THIS, BUT I'M UPVOTING YOU FOR THIS HIGHLY UNDERRATED GAME COMPANY! WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER SOMETIME AND TALK ABOUT THE GOOD OL' DAYS WHERE WE PLAYED RARE GAMES (GET IT?! HAHAHAHA!) AND JERK EACH OTHER OFF (NO HOMO!)

kevinstonge · 7 months

made me think of this

Not_WilWheaton · 7 months

Get a fucking life, man.

jaywillythe1st · 7 months

am i the only one who thinks rareware sucked? every game they made is clunky and aged very badly.

digitalpizza · 7 months

Hilarious, one of the most important developers of the PSX/N64 generation. Bought by Microsoft for silly money and then reduced to making Wii Mii knockoffs (after initially taking the piss out of the Wii before it sold).

And people actually think Microsoft care about gaming.

trinity_Omegalisk · 7 months

wtf, i want new ki3, and bajo kazooie, not with bolts or nuts or any bullshit, just good ol 3d platformer adventure with wacky chars and the rare logo stamped all over the place.

ClassicDaniel · 7 months

I first read that as "RAPEWARE"
