Banjo-Kazooie isn't a Nintendo franchise anymore

Conker was never a Nintendo, especially since non of its game were even published by Nintendo

Sciurus_vulgaris2040d ago

Nintendo never owned Rare or the original IPs that the studio created during the N64-era. I can’t believe the author lists Conker and Banjo-Kazooie as Nintendo franchise, despite both series having releases and re-releases on Xbox consoles.

Neonridr2039d ago

Nintendo owned 49% of Rare at one point. Rare was a second party developer up until Nintendo sold their stake to Microsoft.

RizBiz2039d ago

I don't think the author ever said first-party titles. A game that only appears on one console can be considered a franchise of that console.

PhoenixUp2039d ago (Edited 2039d ago )

Not true

On the back of the Diddy Kong Racing box art, this was written

"Trademark of Nintendo, Diddy Kong, Banjo and Krunch characters licensed by Nintendo"

Meaning Nintendo licensed those characters to Rare. Note how Conker isn’t among the listed

wheresmymonkey2039d ago

No that means Nintendo licensed those characters, meaning they paid Rare for their use. Conker wasn't in Diddy Kong Racing and they never owned any of them.

Sciurus_vulgaris2039d ago

Nintendo licensed Duffy Kong, Banjo and Krunch from Rare.

PhoenixUp2039d ago

@ where

There’s already proof that Nintendo at a point owned the Banjo-Kazooie franchise

http://trademarks.justia.co...

Trademark History:

Nintendo of America Inc - Original Registrant
Nintendo of America Inc - Owner at Publication
Nintendo of America Inc - Original Applicant

Conker debuted in Diddy Kong Racing alongside Banjo

FallenAngel19842039d ago

@ Sci

That doesn’t make sense. If Rare owned those characters mentioned in the trademark then there’d be no need to specifically mention just those three in particular as being licensed by Nintendo

Relientk772039d ago

Still waiting for Golden Sun.

RizBiz2039d ago

I'd really love another Conker, but not as long as M$ owns the IP.

wheresmymonkey2039d ago

I think the writer might want to look up Double Dragon Neon.

Indeed. These games need a resurgence on the switch.

Notellin59d ago

These are some of the best games I remember playing as a kid. We definitely need to see it come back!

gold_drake59d ago

so many things deserve a remake

PRIMORDUS59d ago

I loved both on the GBA the one on DS not so much, here's a review of Golden Sun from IGN, 9.7 https://www.ign.com/article... "Camelot proves that the GBA can push out music and sounds that trounce the Super NES' capabilities" Best music from a GBA game, I think.

jznrpg59d ago

Fun games. I still have the old games and I’m all for a remake but I don’t know if they did well enough in Nintendo’s eyes for a remake or not. At least a collection would be nice.

At the rate in which we have been getting them, and the selections such as TLOU and Horizon and other similarly unnecessary remasters, no.

In terms of reintroducing classics and making them available again at a reasonable price where as previously they were locked behind ridiculously priced physical copies, yes.

Luc20216d ago

agree with the Horizon but TLOU - I've never played it and the remaster it's quite impressive graphically so for someone who never played the original game it's a treat to enjoy such quality!

There a plenty of gamers who switch platforms and so I guess the remasters are meant for those

jznrpg217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

There is a new crop of gamers every generation that didn’t play the originals and some of us older games want remasters of older games to play them on current hardware. Overall I say yes it is good. Nobody is forced to buy them.
They can also gauge interest for older IP with remasters and it could lead to a new game in the series. Remasters aren’t for everyone but no game is anyway

darthv72217d ago

Chances are their parents did... and may still have them. That's how I introduced my kids to gaming. They played what I had and worked their way up. They learn to appreciate them better that way.

andy85216d ago

I don't have an issue if they don't take away from developing new games. It's always nice to revisit a game you loved in the past with extra shine

gold_drake216d ago

remasters of older games absolutely.

but i dont see how a 4 year old game needs a ... Remaster. a upgrade update should do the trick

bjt i guess for newer players its a good option.
