f***ing Microsoft

[Aethix 129]

They must die!

The popular N64 exclusive game "Banjo Kazooie" will soon be released on Xbox Live arcade. "Why is a N64 exclusive game coming out on Xbox Live Arcade and not Wii Virtual Console?" you might ask. Because f***ing Microsoft bought out Rare, the developer who made the game and was formerly Nintendo second party. Now Satan Microsoft owns Rare and every game it ever made, short of games featuring Donkey Kong. Now a perfectly good game will be release on Xbox, and not Wii, where it should be released.

On the upside, I now have another piece of evidence that Microsoft is actually the Antichrist.

yeah i agree... and because of a lawsuit rareware had with microsoft, they can't make nintendo donkey kong games like dk 64 or dk country, they can only make the lame bongo games or games like mario kart with the dk characters in them... totally stoopid

[Fierce Muffin 490]

Ok seriously, this seems really overheated because of this. Microsoft owns rare now ( we could go into large arguments about competition and money, but we'll gloss over that) and therefore rare are outputting their game onto the console that they can. It's just like porting a title from (for example) xbox360 to ps3 or between any of the consoles.

Ok, there're so many things wrong here:

1)I don't think that lawsuit ever existed

2)Nintendo own the IP for donkey kong, rare just made several of the donkey kong games

3)Nintendo can keep making donkey kong games, in fact rare had nothing do with donkey konga or anything like that, that was all created by nintendo studios

4)Rare are still producing some games for Nintendo, namely on the DS as microsoft does not have a handheld. Recent examples include diddy kong racing and viva pinata

It's just a game. Buy an Xbox 360 if you really want to play it again on a newer console, or possibly an N64 to play the original and stop whining over such a little thing.

Or download an N64 emulator, like Project64 6.5, and then download the ROM, I did, got some fscking Jigsaw pieces, fsck yeah.

lolololololmuffin

(sorry, decided to quote the 3rd post as well because I was on a roll)

www.doperoms.com is a good emulator and rom site. My friend Aidan (Dr Salvador) has Majoras Mask on his PC. And loads of other games as well.

Yeah, I dislike Microsoft.

[Teto 2609]

I never knew so many people here hate them too. Did you know that Microsoft have made Avatars? Rip-off.

[Gingerlink 2]

Actually, rare made those XD

and they had plans for them before Nintendo released mii's. I think a quote a rare employee used was:

"it's not like microsoft came to us and said "Nintendo have miis! Do something!"

Also, Star Fox was the last game rare released on a nintendo home console, the last two were released on the xbox.

It's the principle. Microsoft bought out a great game company and turned it into a crappy one. And now they're recycling the good games that Rare made for the good consoles and cross-compiling them for Xbox. In other words, Microsoft is now leaching off Nintendo's better management ability. Quite frankly, I think it's dispicable. Which is kind of redundant.

In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, I hate Microsoft.

I just have one question for you.

Are you using a PC right now?

[Aethix 129]

I just have one question for you.

Unfortunately, yes. Microsoft is the establishment. The only way we can overthrow the evil tyrants that rule our technology is with a bloody coup!

[Gingerlink 2]

Buy a Mac? eeesh...

Also

You havn't played viva pinata, have you?
