Rare IP returning to Nintendo platforms ‘inevitable’, says Conker creator

[Goukosan 2,249]

"Rare’s parent company, Xbox game Studios, has championed a more inclusive strategy in recent years, notably with the release of Cuphead (bbbbbut nothing to do with MS) on Nintendo Switch and the licensing of Banjo-Kazooie (bbbut this was part of the original RARE purchase contract ) to Nintendo for Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC." 

 

" The company’s first-party studios boss has even indicated he would allow Xbox developers such as Rare to create new games for rival platforms, such as Nintendo Switch, in the future."

 

Seavor, who worked at Rare under both Nintendo and Microsoft for nearly two decades, told VGC that he feels Rare’s classic IPs are better placed on Nintendo platforms and that this is demonstrated by fan demand for Banjo and Kazooie’s Smash appearance.

 

 

“It is significant, very significant but it was also inevitable,” he said of the possibility that classic Rare IP could return to Nintendo platforms. “You only have to look at the reaction to Banjo’s appearing in Smash"
