Rare

Rare is a video game company that partnered with Nintendo.

## History

Rare used to have the name Rareware. In 1994, Rare partnered with Nintendo to make Donkey Kong Country. After the success of the game, Rare continued with the partnership and made Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! as well as Donkey Kong Land 1, 2, and 3, Diddy Kong Racing, and Star Fox Adventures. A year after the release of Diddy Kong Racing, Rare released Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo 64. 2 years later, Banjo-Tooie was released on the Nintendo 64. Rare also released Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge and Banjo-Pilot on the Game Boy Advance. In 2002, Rare was purchased by Microsoft. 6 years later, Rare released Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. In 2015, Rare made Rare Replay, a collection of older Rare games (including Banjo-Kazooie and Conker’s Bad Fur Day). In 2018, Rare released Sea of Thieves. Rare’s most recent game was a reboot of the Battletoads franchise (the first game was released in 1991) called Battletoads. Rare has an upcoming (as of 2022) game called Everwild.
