Pretty sure it's common knowledge that NES Rare weren't all that great. They only started to get really good around N64. I really recommend finishing Banjo, I really enjoyed it and 100%'d it.

Quirky game with some decent gameplay here and there. More of a novelty at the time, but I think it's still worth playing.
>Nuts & Bolts
Haha, nice one
>Viva Pinata
Really?

Rare after the Microsoft buyout wasn't really rare to me. The only Rare-esque games to me is Grabbed by the Ghoulies and after that they were assigned shitty sequels and kinect games.

Wizards and Warriors
Battletoads NES
DKC2

to me that covers pretty much everything

I don't like the 3D ones so much

most of their n64 games are at least good, and solar jetman is underrated

Rare is pretty appropriately rated: great in spurts, mediocre overall. Really we should recognize the project team and staff that did classics.

Didn't Rare do RC Pro AM NES? That's quality.

Haven't really played much of Rare's N64 stuff in a while, but I do remember being rather unimpressed by them. I honestly enjoyed Nintendo and Insomniac's (and even ND though their takes follow a more traditional philosophy) take on the 3D platformer concept more, even with the whole minigame stuff the latter's Spyro sequels tend to have.

I swear there's this massive black spot in the memory of every Rare fan who claims the talent left/MS ruined them because Kinect forgets that Viva Pinata exists.

To me the last true to style Rare title was Kameo (originally planned to be a gamecube title). PD Zero had a shitty campaign but the multiplier was good, if I recall correctly. I've never played Grabbed by the Ghoulies and likely never will.

To keep it retro, every game I've played by them on the N64 was stellar. That company was one of the best reasons to get a 64 of a Playstation.

Play Blast Corps. Really play it, don't put it down after 10 minutes. Actually try to finish the game.

That happened before the N64 era. Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Killer Instinct, Battletoads were all great games. Wizards and Warriors, Snake Rattle 'n' Roll and RC PRO-AM were good as well.
