Did Microsoft kill the Banjo Franchise?

Posted

I was and still a huge fan of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise and I'm still enjoying both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie to this day.

 

And I was extremely angry when Microsoft bought Rare and canceled all their projects for the Game Cube including the long awaited Banjo-Threeie which later on they turned it into Nuts & Bolts for the Xbox 360.

 

What worse.It looks like Microsoft is only using Rare for only Kinect game like Kinect Sports.I really wanted to cry when realized that the mighty developer Rare reduced to just one word,Kinect Kinect Kinect..................F&*% the kinect.Not only this crap had a poor library of(don't work as advertised)games,but it's one of the causes of the demise of many of my favorite franchises like Banjo,Conker,Perfect Dark and other great games Mircosoft completely ignored just to make a Wii sports rip-off instead of a great AAA title like Banjo Kazooie.Yes I consider the Banjo franchise an AAA.

 

I hope that Nintendo or any other Company might buy the IP of Rare's franchise but I'm crossing my fingers on that.

 

Darn you Microsoft

No, Nintendo killed it when they dropped Rare for publishing Concker's Bad Fur Day on the N64 instead of waiting for the gamecube.

No,This doesn't have anything to do with Microsoft buying Rare.Conker was published and released for the N64.

even if you're right it still Microsoft's fault for canceling all the projects instead of shifting them to the original Xbox or even trying with the franchises again.Even former staffs of Rare blame Microsoft no Nintendo

Yeah they pretty much did, a lot of the key developers left Rare. Fortunately, those developers are currently working on a spiritual sequel to Banjo.

Poor Rare. They used to be so amazing.
