    Xbox wouldn't have Goldeneye or a remake of it would they since EA has the Bond license?

    Who cares about Goldeneye.. Perfect Dark was like 10 times better than that game... if PD comes to the XBox.. that will be enourmous news.. and EXTREMELY good for the xbox's future

    It would buy the 51% not owned by Nintendo...effectively making it under MS control O_o...

    The true excitement about all this is that you have to remember that they are gods at making multiplayer modes. Alot of people bought GoldenEye and Perfect Dark strictly for the multiplayer. And Conker's BFD had a multiplayer mode to rival Halo's, IMHO. Imagine the War sequence, with bump-mapped envions, XBox quality particle effects (let's say, for instance, volumetric fog), and Dolby Digitial sound. It'd rock beyond belief.

    But the keynote? Imagine all these games on XBox Live. It's a dream come true.

    Even more rumors dealing with this whole Rare thing, I say everyone should just chill out and wait until after the release of StarFox Adventures, I think that's the time when Rare will make any announcement they have to make.

    As for the properties Rare owns, I believe other than Perfect Dark and Blast Corps and probably some of their older games most of their licenses are held by Nintendo. I know for sure Nintendo owns the rights to Banjo, Donkey Kong, Conker and Killer Instinct. Well, I'm not 100% sure on Conker, but I believe Nintendo owns the right to any character that appeared in Diddy Kong Racing.

    Anyhow, continue with your premature celebration I guess.

    With as often as these things fall out, I'm with Goof, I'll wait till the fallout settles and then celebrate if it makes it through! (though personally I would love it to happen)

    I'm pretty sure that Nintendo owns the rights to several of those characters (I could be wrong though)

    Yeah, I know Nintendo doesn't own Killer Instinct, so that would be badass, but still, I'm going to wait to see the official sale word. Until then, don't get your hopes up.

    Yes but with 49% there is no way Nintendo would let Rare become Xbox exclusive.

    51% means you got the last word,the only thing they could do is being an ass at the meetings.
    They do get a huge part of the profit of course.

    Well i heard Nintendo might be selling rare's stocks....

    even if rare does come 3rd party Nintendo would still make huge amount of profit on all Xbox/ps2 games sold.....thats why i think Rare is waiting to see what goes down in the next couple of months.
