gaming Rare Replay! (The Best Gaming Deal Ever?)

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202]

Probably the biggest surprise from E3 2015 for me, besides Xbox One backwards compatibility and FF7 Remake, was the announcement of this, Rare Replay, which is a collection of 30(!) games spanning all of Rare's years of existence. This is a celebration for their 30th anniversary and it will be priced at $30(!).

 

 

This has to be one of the greatest deals ever in gaming. 30 games in one huge collection all for $30, which means you are getting 30 games for $1 each game. That is crazy. Plus the selection is pretty awesome, ranging from their 8-bit origins to modern day classics. This is like if Action 52 for the NES wasn't horrible.

 

It comes out in August for the Xbox One and I cannot wait. :3 Anyone else excited for this? What games are looking forward to the most in this collection?

 

Me, it's probably Conker's Bad Fur Day, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, the Banjo Kazooie games, Killer Instinct Gold and perhaps Kameo. The rest are pure icing on the cake.

Seems cool.

I shall wait for this.

"Remember when Rare made good video games? Now you can experience that era again!"

 

That should have been how Rare Replay was announced.

I hope I don't get flak cannoned, but im most looking forward to the 10,000(!!!!!) Gamerscore in it.

Im a super tryhard Achievement Hunter, and even only a tenth of this game is as much as one regular 60$ game.

Oh yeah! I totally spaced that in the post. That is another amazing aspect to it. So many chances to get new achievements and for older classics too. I am right there with you on that, I am not a huge achievement hunter, but I love having them in uses because they can add a lot of replay value.

It's got a lot of games on it that I've never been able to play like Conker's Bad Fur Day, Blast Corps and Perfect Dark so I'll definitely want to get it. A nice value pack for the Xbox One.

 

I wish we'd get more games like this in general. Large collections of older games. Last gen's Ultimate Genesis Collection was equally amazing.

 

It gives everyone the chance to play older games that are harder to play since we may not have those consoles anymore. People who've played them before, those who never got the chance to play them or even those who got into gaming/were born after the prime time of a lot of these games.

I'm not a hardcore achievement hunter but I like to go for ones I feel are within my abilities. 10k on my gamerscore ain't nothin' to sneeze at even if I only get half of it.

This collection is one of two reasons I currently have for wanting an Xbox One.  Blast Corps, KI Gold, Perfect Dark, and Conker's Bad Fur Day pretty much justify the $30 price tag for me; though there are many games I've never played (the Banjo & Kazooie titles and Jet Force Gemini being among them).  I still own a cartridge copy of the NES game Solar Jetman. x3

Duuuuuuuuuude, I didn't even see Jet Force Gemini on there. I've wanted to play that game since it came out. My mom was very overprotective when it came to video games though so I wasn't allowed to play much more than E-rated games.

I want this so badly but I only have a ps4. I mainly want it just for conker since that game is stupid expensive.

[Chacobos 160]

Makes me want to buy an Xbone just so I can play some Rare games I didn't get to play on the N64 and so on but alas...already have my mind made up. Call me impressed though since it is jam packed with quality games for one price. 

[1Bit 1,531]

I really only look forward to Perfect Dark and the 10,000 gamerscore  dont get me wrong, excellent deal but I know very little about Rare 

[CaptainDoubloon 857]

I'd love to buy that if it wasn't just for xbox, Rare made many of my favorite games.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202]

Just to let everyone know, Rare Replay launches tomorrow!

 

Are you excited cause I am excited I've never been this excited *GASP* 

 

What games are you all looking forward to the most?

One of my first video games that I was ever really into was Viva Pinata. I remember waking up on Christmas and getting a 360 (before I cared about what consoles were what) and seeing my brother getting all of these cool M+ games that I couldn't play, when I saw a weirdly shaped present under the tree, almost like a tombstone that had my name on it. I open it up and there's a giant purple and blue horse made of paper mache on the front. Needless to say my brother and I always argued over who would get to play.

 

TL;DR

 

Viva Pinata.

 

Oh, and all of the games that were on the N64.
