Grabbed by the Ghoulies (2003) MFW I’m grabbed by the ghoulies. Considering this, I thought it would be fun to go through some (not all) of the games developed and released by Rare since the Microsoft acquisition to celebrate the occasion. This was, of course, a pretty big deal at the time considering all of Rare’s biggest hits were on Nintendo consoles, such as Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong Country, Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini.Įver since then, we’ve seen most of their titles appear exclusively on Xbox consoles, with the obvious exceptions of any OG Donkey Kong Country games re-released on the Game Boy Advance. Today marks the 20th anniversary of Microsoft’s acquisition of Rare.Ī historic, powerhouse in gaming. Just the other day, a tweet from Xbox News posted about the 20th anniversary of Rare becoming a first-party studio under Microsoft’s rule.
Two days and 20 years ago, British developer Rare was acquired by Microsoft for $US375 million.
