Actually Conker was published by Rare as well...

I'm not a business guy, so I'd love it if someone could explain how it really works...I just can't recall a franchise that began on Ninty hardware, that was published by Ninty, and later went over to competing systems...

Nintendo does, and did. They owned the copyright to several of Rare's properties, including Killer Instinct and Banjo-Kazooie, but gave them to Rare when they let them go, just keeping the stuff related to Donkey Kong. However, they didn't know at the time that they gave these away that Microsoft would be the one purchasing them, and anyone else recall Microsoft being mad that Donkey Kong wasn't part of the agreement?

What in the bleep would have made Microsoft think that Donkey Kong, the original Nintendo franchise, would have been part of the deal? I guess that is why DK was getting mentions when Grabbed by the Ghoulies was released.
Hmm... Nintendo needs to be more ruthless

Are you kidding me? Are we being serious with thinking that MS would have a R&D group that stupid before purchasing RARE? This is a pretty lame debate. MS knew they weren't getting DK IPs...and it was right for RARE to leave with their original IPs. Too bad Crystal Dynamics and Eidos didn't show Silicon Knights the same kind of love with the Legacy of Kain series.

Back on topic: The Nintendo DS is surprisingly making it through the GTA:LCS buzz. I know a lot of people who'd love to pick up this game and I thought it would be the PSPs killer app to take over the handheld market. While still up in the air, the DS looks healthy with Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and more excellent software coming out.

When it comes to games that were published by one company and developed by another, I think it depends a lot on the initial contracts the companies had regarding those games, and how rough n' tough the companies are. In the end, I think leaving Rare with all of it's own liscences in tact probably worked out for the best for Nintendo, because Rare keeps developing new games for the GBA and DS. If Nintendo had been really hard-headed about it, the working relationship may have been lost.

GO ANIMAL CROSSING!

DS hardware numbers are rumored to be at a whooping 160,000.

Artimus · « **Reply #807 on:** November 30, 2005, 06:17:40 PM »

When does MK come out?

Mario · « **Reply #808 on:** November 30, 2005, 06:52:57 PM »

December 8, along with Mushi King DS. Dragon sideQuest DS comes out today.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #809 on:** November 30, 2005, 07:08:11 PM »

Animal Crossing is the new Nintendogs! Except it's not a new franchise...Whoops!

Good timing for the Mushi King title, considering Toho is releasing a theatrical film (double-billed with the Sazer-X movie) based on the series in theaters on December 17th.

Mario · « **Reply #811 on:** November 30, 2005, 10:06:46 PM »

Whoa, Dengeki weekly sales actually has ACWW at 362,000, considering 400,000 were shipped, and not EVERY single sale is counted in sales charts, the game sold out completely. Animal Crossing on GC only sold about 90,000 in its first week, but had really long legs, and many AC fans were born, and since DS is where all the tradional gamers are now, everyone is grabbing ACWW straight away.

CONGRATS

If you don't know already, but that dog died about a week or so ago. I saw it on the TV news.

vudu · « **Reply #814 on:** December 01, 2005, 11:02:53 AM »

I heard that. It really is the ugliest dog in the world. I heard if you collect all Nintendogs in all three versions and then think up 3 DS' together with the games in them you can unlock Sam.

mantidor · « **Reply #815 on:** December 01, 2005, 12:08:40 PM »

argh, my eyes >_< Im going to play with my puppy to forget that hideous vision, thanks heavens it died

The dog or the lady =D

Ian Sane · « **Reply #817 on:** December 01, 2005, 01:02:38 PM »

My Mom was talking about that dog yesterday. She needs to work on her adjectives because it's a million times uglier then she made it out to be.

The lady isn't so hot either but that's more in a "I would not want to f*ck her" way than a "I am frightened by her appearance" way.

NobleXenon54 · « **Reply #818 on:** December 01, 2005, 03:28:35 PM »

Does anyone know what the hardware numbers for the DS and PSP were in July (NPD)? I looked back at this thread and it went from June to August. Oh, and one more thing, were the PSP numbers for October released yet(NPD)?

Thanks again.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #819 on:** December 01, 2005, 03:37:44 PM »

PSP numbers aren't released when it sells poorly...

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #820 on:** December 01, 2005, 03:39:07 PM »

What is up with that dog? what's the story, that thing looked to have suffered quite abit. I don't know weither to feel sorry or wtf is wrong with that picture.

Pro you have once again disturbed the mind beyond belief, you should be in the next ED game

Artimus · « **Reply #821 on:** December 01, 2005, 03:44:33 PM »

DS     132,012
PSP    51,196

Woohoo. Can't wait to see what MK does.

odifiend · « **Reply #822 on:** December 01, 2005, 04:00:31 PM »

Look at how Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot. They have a next gen console that is sold out and nobody will touch their old one out of anticipation for their new one. At least their marketing is... a presence.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #823 on:** December 01, 2005, 04:04:09 PM »

Ahaha, that's the Japanese sales chart...

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #824 on:** December 01, 2005, 04:04:23 PM »

Those are Japanese numbers. No one EVER cared about the Xbox there.

edit: oh sup bill
