What other Rare games would you like to see get the XBLA treatment. I know most are gonna say Perfect Dark, but that doesn't really need to be mentioned because if the rumor is true it's the next Rare game in line to go to the arcade.

If I had to choose one it would hands down be Conkers Bad Fur Day. Yeah, I know it got remade on the xbox but that was truly a different game than the 64 version, mainly in the MP department. Also, a lot of people never got to experience the 64 version so this would be the perfect way for giving people that chance.

The game would be amazing with an HD overhaul (as well as fully uncensored perhaps) and added online. The MP in that game was some of the best 64 had to offer and honestly was one of the funnest MP games period. Not to mention there are so many possibilities for great achievements that I really don't think 12 would suffice.

I really think it would be a great choice because Conker has a huge following and really needs to be brought back to the public eye. Hell, if the game does well enough maybe Microsoft will realize it's worth getting a sequel and Rare can finally put together a true continuation for Conker.

Anyway, that's my number one pick, but there are still so many more choices. Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini, Killer Instinct (Classic or Gold). It's just too bad we'll never be able to get DK 64, because that was definitely a platforming masterpiece.

Except that Rare is strictly prohibited from porting any DK games to a Microsoft system.

What about Jet Force Gemini. Seeing it in the kid mole rooms might be a future hint.

And I think Donkey Kong is a Nintendo character, and Nintendo also holds Diddy Kong-and the cast attached to both of them so it probably won't happen unless Nintendo starts hating money (so who knows the way they're going).

I know DK is owned by Nintendo that's why I said it's too bad we'll never see DK 64 on the XBLA. As for JFG, I think it would be a great idea for Rare to bring that game to the arcade. Not many people got to play the game, which sucks because it was a pretty good game. It has some control issues but I'm sure Rare would fix that.

As far as the poster in BT being a hint, I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure it was there in the 64 version. Rare always puts easter eggs that relate to their other titles. I haven't played the 64 version in a while though, so I may be wrong.

I want Star Twins and Blast Dozer, also Killer Instinct 2 - on XBLA! And the newest (JP) version of Perfect Dark. But actually, they got to bring back GoldenEye 007. Conker's Bad Fur Day shall be coming uncensored for XBLA! I could not accept a censorship on the singing $hiT boss. They can bring the Donkey Kong 64 for Virtual Console! The important factor is just like we do not want to let all the old gaming systems connected. Consider how a living room would look like. All the history video games shall be ported and travel with us - low cost only. Some masterpieces are better than new technology projects and titles - because of game play qualities, or a whole different kind of spice on them. The greatest games are made by Rareware, Nintendo, Capcom. Alright, I can not say that - but you do know what I mean.

Yeah... I totally agree. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Golden Eye 007... ah these were the times. And these games had a much higher lasting appeal than nowadays. Seriously - today you play a game for about 12 hours, have the story completed and that was it. But not with a Banjo-Tooie. You can easily spend 60 hours in that game without having completed the main story.

Conker's Bad Fur Day would be a very good game for Xbox Live Arcade. I, too, would appreciate Donkey Kong 64... damn Nintendo... They should co-operate with Microsoft and bring out a console together. Hate that stupid Wii... :(

I don't think they will do a CBFD on XBLA to be honest!

On a brighter note, Perfect Dark has just been announced for XBLA on major nelson's twitter! :D in 1080p! lol

I loved GoldenEye way back then, and hated Perfect Dark for one reason. It played like a slide show. Was it just my N64? Can someone agree with me here? Please?

Did you have the expansion pack?

While true PD had a low frame rate, I personally loved it. The XBLA version is supposed to run at 60fps so it will be much better on the eyes!

the N64 happens to be my fav system of all time. i loved Banjo and DK64. Id love to see all the old classics come to the XBLA. Even though lots are owned by nintendo, i wish nintendo would stop being gay and give us some games. id love to see Star Fox 64 and Super Mario 64. that would be awesome even though it wouldnt happen.
