Topic: Looking for Rare about VC release article

[Purple_Beard]

I swear this site had an article about Rare and their old games coming to the VC...but after searching through your news articles I can't find it.  I think they commented "Nintendo decides..."

Anyone got a link?

NM, found this one:

Moving over to console discussion...

I looked, but couldn't find anything either.  I'm pretty sure it will be a case by case basis though, as I believe Nintendo only owns the right to publish the original copy of games like Banjo (where Rare has the IP rights), and a VC port wouldnt' count as the original copy.

http://www.rareware.com/extras/scribes/30aug07/index.html  (It's a long page, so I'd advise using your browser's Find feature and searching for "Virtual Console".

It is mentioned twice, the second time having a much more helpful answer: "As for VC, it's ultimately Nintendo's decision what gets released. Beyond the DKC games we don't have anything in the pipeline at the moment, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in future."

I have a hard time seeing them doing it.  Unlike putting games on the DS, Microsoft has a horse in the race.  VC titles and Live Arcade games are in direct competition, just like the Wii and the 360.
