Rare Replay Opening Number

They could have easily half-assed this and just released a compilation. Instead, they put effort into the release and their heart and soul into this awesome opening reminiscent of the 1990s. How charming. :-)

ikr

[@spydersoup8447]

I think Sega released a game which was a collection of Genesis games, but it didn't have an opening as big and as memorable as this opening. Also, in my opinion, this opening reminds me of the Animaniacs opening combined with The Muppets theme song.

[@jacobs.9661]

Oh man I never thought of it like that, but now I can't get that image out of my head! It's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights! It's time to play the classics, On Rare Replay tonight!

[@arthurluna6189]

6 years later, and this opening is still amazing. Rare did a sensational job.

[@BLOODY__FATALITY]

This is such a quality compliation. I have poured hours into this. I absolutely love it. I love hearing how the games were made in the clips and I love how fluid and well made the menus and everything are. It doesn't just feel like cheap emulation. It feels like a high quality collection celebration of their classic titles.

[@ohstate411]

This a great collection for anyone who grew up on Rare games. I'm glad they got most of their N64 titles on here, which IMO are their very best work.

[@CourierDan]

[@LennyQUMFIF]

@@tsarmikislav938 But grabbed by the goulies and Kameo were actually GameCube games Ported to Xbox, and Perfect dark zero was similar, but they only kept the name and changed the game. The only post Nintendo era games would be the Viva Piñata games (Even tho there's a Viva piñata game on DS) JepPac refueled and Banjo Kazooie N&B

[@Sprited]

I don't know why, but I just love it when Conker just says "A-thank you" at the end.

I personally like the "It's a Rare Replay but don't dismay if you've played through these games before,oh we guarantee there's more to see, a pass first class to featurettes galore." part because before Rare Replay came I had played through Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Blast Corps. and Kameo Elements of Power before. I wonder who else likes the part i do.

[@SpongicX]

Nice seasonal variation. Do you know what would make it even better? If Rare/Microsoft released an HD digital release of Conker Live and Reloaded for Rare Replay. It would also be nice to have it fixed to run perfectly, without any of the emulation errors that would occur when playing it on an Xbox 360, like the rainbow dust clouds, out of sync/muted sound clips, and random crashes.

[@MASF_]

+SpongicX I can't stand that game. The N64 version was better in every way. I have no idea how they could mess up an already good game so badly. And yes I still own Live & Reloaded. I recommenced anyone to play it so they could experience what I mean but do not buy it.

[@SpongicX]

MASF Reload I loved both. I didn't find the same issues other gamers had with it's remake. My only complaint was the lack of facial expressions, and the stiff controls on Fangy the Raptor. but I loved the game's visuals, and I loved how they restructured many of the game moments that were too tricky on N64, like the zombie shooting, and war segments.

[@TBoneTony]

The song reminds me of the Animaniacs for some reason. Still quite good but I am more into the games themselves. Also while the game is called RARE Replay and that these are the 30 RARE games over the past 30 years, there are more games that RARE has made such as Donkey Kong Country series, GoldenEye, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong Country 64 and Dinosaur Planet that became StarFox Adventures. But due to Intellectual Property reasons because James Bond is owned by Activision while Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and StarFox are owned by Nintendo, there is no choice other than to be lucky enough to own those games on their original systems or to emulate to play those games again. Also the Donkey Kong Country series used to be available on the Nintendo's Virtual Console but were taken off when the 10 year contract ended. At least that was from my knowledge. As a long time RARE fan who remembers the games from the SNES and N64 era, I am happy to see this collection of some of the best RARE games including the ones from back in the Ultimate Play the Game era that I would never have known about if not from the RETRO Gamer magazine. And considering I am getting older and can't get the recent consoles, I can happy to be able to view other people playing these classic RARE games on youtube. Some of the games I was happy to see included here are Conker's Bad Fur Day and Jet Force Gemini that were my fav games from RARE outside of their obvious ones that can't be in this collection due to reasons stated above. If only this collection of games had appeared back 5 years ago on the XBox 360 then I would have been able to buy it. Oh well.
