'''Rare''', formerly | {{go-to| color = company| iw = wikipedia| iw-page = Rare (company)| iw-text = Wikipedia}} | ||
'''Rare''', formerly known as '''Rareware''', is a British video game developer and a first party developer of [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]]. | |||
== History == | |||
Rare was originally a second-party developer for [[Nintendo]], when they were known as Rareware. They were best known for releasing a multitude of games, such as ''[[wikipedia:Battletoads (video game)|Battletoads]]'', ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Kazooie]]''. | |||
The company only developed one ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]''-related game, ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' in 2001–2002. The game's original title was ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]'', which had no relation to ''Star Fox'', and was under development for the [[Nintendo 64]]. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] approached them late in development and convinced them to redevelop it into a ''Star Fox'' game, which got shifted to the GameCube. | |||
''Star Fox Adventures'' is the last game Rare released on a Nintendo home console, because Nintendo had a deal to sell them to Microsoft after the game's publication. The acquisition by Microsoft was completed on September 24, 2002, one day after ''Star Fox Adventures'' was released in North America. | |||
