We Hear There's A Rare Collection Coming To Xbox One

For months now we’ve been chasing down a rumor that Microsoft plans to release a collection of Rare games for Xbox One this summer to mark the storied company’s 30th anniversary. Today, a Kotaku reader sent over a retail image that seems to corroborate this rumor.

GameStop is listing an entry for something called “RareReplay,” which may be the branding for Microsoft’s collection:

What we’ve heard is that the collection could feature up to 30 games including beloved Rare classics like Battletoads (NES), Jet Force Gemini (N64), and Banjo Kazooie (N64), according to a person who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the upcoming game. It’s unlikely we’ll see old Rare games whose licenses are owned by other companies—don’t expect Donkey Kong Country or Goldeneye here—but other names mentioned by various sources include Kameo (360), Perfect Dark (N64/360), and Blast Corps (N64), which will come as pleasant news to anyone looking for a way to replay those old games on modern systems.

This isn’t the only project Rare is working on—the iconic studio is also developing an original new game that’s currently “very, very early,” according to a source. That’s presumably the “uniquely Rare game” that Xbox boss Phil Spencer teased on Twitter last fall.

It would be an amazing exclusive. I wonder if Rare has developed the ports or if they've been concentrating on something else?

It would be amazing but I struggle to believe they will release 30 games as one package, no matter how old some of them are. More likely we will get the Rare Collection part 1, part 2 etc.

Y'know, I do actually enjoy games too. Just because I'm excited for the new Barbie game doesn't mean I don't have taste.
