Go to Xbox.com (the official Xbox web-site) and click on the large RareWare logo.

I thought Banjo and Kazooie were Nintendo characters... The article said that a new Banjo and Kazooie game is in development for the Xbox as well as a NEW PERFECT DARK!!!

This is the TRUE reason to get an Xbox...to play the best games ever created by Rare!

GameCube, Xbox...it's all good!

It IS true! You DO live two weeks in the past!

Weekly Frostbite Quote #3:

Girl: Hey, we`re all calling this guy up and yelling at him. You want to try?
Frostbite: Why would I do that?
Girl: He`s really mean. He calls people crackers.
Frostbite: So? Why should I care?
Girl: You`d want to be called an hors d`oeuvre?
Frostbite: If you think crackers are hors d`oeuvres, you must be poor.
Girl: Ew!

Yeah... you didn't know that already?

P.S. SFA is the greatest game ever made by Rare. Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark don't even compare.

Perfect Dark and GoldenEye 007 (remember that best-seller?) are two of the best First-person-shooters ever created! Ha ha ha ha!

By the way, I had thought you guys were joking ar being sarcastic about the RareWare thing...I had no idea that it was true until I went to Xbox.cxom and saw the article *shudders*... I hope Rare can make just as good games on Xbox like they did with Nintendo.

Bah! Most games on Nintendo systems are good because of "Nintendo magic". When games that were on Nintendo before go to other systems now, the magic is lost, and the franchises cease to be good.
See, Perfect Dark and Goldeneye may be good FPSs (Yes, I have to admit that Goldeneye 007 is entertaining), but in my opinion, FPSs are the worst kind of game. So therefore, they can't compare to games like Mario and Starfox Adventures. That's my opinion.

No, they are owned by Rare, as stated earlier. Besides, isn't Rare still going to make some stuff for GCN?

Yes, I found out the info the day it happened in Seville, Spain, I believe (I don't remember the date).
It is true that the evil Microsoft (I am ashamed I am using their software and internet browser right now) bought them out.  The games were good, but I am NOT going to get an Xbox just for those games.

Why be ashamed?!
The Xbox part is a different division from Microsoft!
Microsoft PC stuff = good
Microsoft Video Game stuff = EVIL
Have you got that yet?

Nintendo has exlcusive rights to all original properties and franchises featured in the games developed by Rare. Including all the Kongs and all the Star Fox characters. In fact they are currently working on a new SF and DK games. This information comes from issue 115 of GI.

I, for one, knew they were making another Starfox game, but the big question is... will it have Krystal in it?
That was a joke.

You mean Rare is working on another Donkey Kong/StarFox game? Or do you just mean that Nintendo is making them without Rare's help...

I heard that Namco was teaming up with Nintendo to develop a new StarFox game...

And that is all I have to say.
