...according to
Matt over at IGN, who claims to have spoken with some key Rare folk about the possibility of some of Rare's past greats
to be in Nintendo's Virtual Console's starting lineup during GDC. While it's pretty much a given that this would be the
case, what with Rare being alligned under the cold, Borg-like, Microsoft Game Studios, no-shows will undoubtedly be
Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Banjo & Kazooie, Goldeneye 007, and Blast
Corps.
That last one hits this Blogger especially hard.
I know many people would say the N64's strongest game was Goldeneye 007 or Perfect Dark, some might claim its stellar first-party offerings in Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 were superior, but for this Blogger no other experience on the console could top the sheer ecstasy of uppercutting buildings as a giant mech and bulldozing gas stations in Blast Corps. It was like a digital incarnation of my childhood with Tonka trucks and Transformers.
