Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that Chunky Kong was wrongfully declared dead and has a cameo in the Mario movie
It was a joke in a parody song
Does Chunky actually make a cameo?
@@carnage0685 Honestly he probably did? I heard people say Swanky Kong has a cameo I looked and I saw nothing. Just gotta see the movie and really find out if he did get a cameo.
@@ZeldaMasterLogan He is on a poster of the movie, that shows DK, and a few Kongs in the background, if look closely you will see them, the kongs are: Swanky, Diddy, Dixie, Cranky and Chunky.
Facts.
Rare's partnership with Nintendo was a golden age for Rare.
And Nintendo.
For gaming in general! It’s been pretty much downhill since Microsoft bought them
@@sandman8920 from the very second i heard they were bought I knew it was over for them and I was a kid then!!!
It's been really heartbreaking to see Rare's downfall over the years. They really were one of the greats in their heyday. Banjo-Kazooie is still one of my favourite games and always it makes me smile when I hear the soundtrack used in videos.
@Paraone Ngatai no
@@REXae86 Why no?
It's Microsoft's fault for buying the company then immediately shelving it for the online cash grab
@@paraonengatai5968 Rare may be hit and miss now a-days, but they left a HUGE legacy. Conker's Bad fur day was a huge inspiration to Rachet and Clank. Chris Seavor who created Conker has formed his own studio Gory Detail.
Diddy Kong Racing was a big inspiration for Crash Team Racing, which got a remake.
Banjo Kazooie was a big inspiration for Hat in Time, Demon Turf Neon Slash, Tinykin, Jack and Daxter.
Miyamoto wanted Metroid Prime to be a first person Shooter because he believed that "shooting in third person was not very intuitive". What made him think that, Jet Force Gemini.
@@paraonengatai5968 He's planing on making another game, but it's taking forever.
This is a really fun subject matter. Got some respect for two guys who can say “We are good enough to go big. Let’s go big” and then go ahead and do it. They had the pinash to say “yeah 1 million copies isn’t enough. We gotta go bigger.” I think that attitude really fit in the 90s, where strong attitudes stood out and excelled.
To quote a TH-camr of a bygone era, “they were like the Beatles. They could release a game in a new genre and set the bar at the same time.”
I agree with that last statement
Classic Jontron is like the Rareware of the 90s
You got the touch! You got the powerrr
Go big, but not sell out. Unlike almost every other company, they held true to their roots and made many games, regardless if they sold. They never stood on their laurels and thought that *that* was what they should milk. :D
Bone app the teeth.
For future reference the word is spelled panache.
It's important to accept these days that the Rare of yesteryear died when they sold it to Microsoft (instead of just downsizing). The Rare of today is a different company with different teams, different management, and a different direction. Rest in Peace old Rare, you are missed.
Basically, Nintendo was the birth and the death of Rare.
Nintendo giveth, and Nintendo taketh away
Nah, Sea of Thieves is their biggest success yet, so while they have been trought some bad times, now they are stronger then ever under Xbox
@@ricln5464 agreed, and they are one of the least corrupt studio's i know of, since they actually care about their players and don't add pay-to-win stuff, only cosmetics
Wish they were still as big as they once were. Thank You Rare for providing me such an amazing Childhood ❤
As someone from The UK I can confirm that this is the best thing from Britain to ever release.
From Canada. I have a Rarewere pinback button. Those game gave me the best memories growing up.
What's your top 3 favourite Rareware games?
For me it's Kameo, Banjo Kazooie & Tooie, Viva Pinata TiP
Honorable mention: Jetforce Gemini
Rare really did some great games, it's always nice to remember them
RIP Rare, 1982 - 2002
You will be missed by gamers

The inspiration for CTR was Mario Kart, not DKR.
Though I can see the similarity from Banjo to Jax
Babe, wake up, new Carlito video
Real talk, I never knew rareware made viva pinata. That was like my favorite Xbox game
Sorry I overslept 😮

@@yololthepikminenjoyer based on your name, you have incredible taste in media, so keep your head high, sir
Been a kid in the 90’s and owning the super nes then getting the 64 with rare making some of the best games ive ever played still to this day . I’m 36 now . Some of my most cherished childhood memories was staying up all night playing banjo kazooie . Wish i cud go back
When your small project is GOLDENEYE 007, you know you're cooking
I miss when Rare was with Nintendo...
Stickerbrush Symphony hits right in the childhood feelings 😢
I honestly thought Rare hadn't made anything since the Kinect was discontinued. Good to see they're still in the business, and their upcoming game looks promising!
I remember how crushed I felt after reading about the buyout in Game Informer as a kid. And I felt like things went downhill in the years to come. But as an adult I realize that it wasn’t downhill, just up a different hill (on a console that I didn’t have lol). And I believe part of Rare’s massive success in the 90’s was a product of its time; being proficient in 3D visuals, programming and having composers who knew their way around sound chips propelled them to the front on the cusp of huge technological shift. If you look at the leaked build of Dinosaur Planet for N64 you’ll see just how much they could push the limits of the hardware. Most 3D felt impressive back then cause they were new, but lots of those 3D games failed to master the art of “good game-feel” like Rare did.
Wow, we're "oldies but goodies" now, aren't we? Go *us* ! That said, I subbed you because you're right and very insightful in the How and Why.
There's two Rareware games you didn't talk about, Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run for SNES and Mickey's Speedway USA for Nintendo 64.
Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero began in development prior to the Microsoft buyout as well. Spaceworld 2000 had a trailer for Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero was on a list of announced GameCube games prior to release, as well as Donkey Kong Racing which also had screenshots. Nintendo power was hyping that stuff before launch big time.
Amazing video,
As someone who has heard about the story of rare a lot, I feel this was one of the most in depth videos on the history of rare and a love letter to this amazing company. Let’s hope for amazing games from this company in the future.
Rare didn't develop Killer Instinct 2013... That was Iron Galaxy and Double Helix
Robin Beanland, who did the music for killer instinct and Conkers Bad Fur Day still works for rare. Also, the killer instinct from 2013 was NOT made by rare, just like the Battletoads reboot
That's sad, because Rare is pretty much just a shell with a bunch of IPs now. It's Rare in name only, but at least they're starting to actually respect those IPs, which definitely means something.

Rare will always be my favorite 2nd party developer company and I’ll still remember them..
The Stickerbush Symphony in the background gave me chills… man what a powerful piece of music.
Rare+Nintendo were the good old days, I wish Rare was still around and working with Nintendo
I'm still waiting for Carlito to do a video on every Toad and every version of the Thwomp and Whomp, but the Rareware train continues!
God, Banjo-Kazooie was so good. The music in that game is firmly imbedded in my head. It's a shame we haven't got more.
Kazooie & Tooie was my saturday cartoon... 💭♥
Killer Instinct (2013) was not developed by Rare. It was first developed by Double Helix Games and then Iron Galaxy developed season 2 and 3
Thank you so much for putting the song names in the description it makes it a lot easier to find them if you can't remember their names :)
I never connected the fact that Banjo and others were teased in Diddy Kong Racing....huh....That is really cool!
Refreshing to see a content creator speak from the heart. Instant sub. All the best to you on your journey!
I'll always be grateful to Coney for making me aware of your channel. Nothing but bangers
Another great video, didn't know the Rare company had such an interesting history
This video came up in my recommended and I'm glad it did. I loved them from the Donkey Kong Country series and when I saw the release of Sea of Thieves being announced, I was very eager to play it and is probably one of my most played games ever while the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy are one of my favorite games of all time. Rare is my childhood and Rare is my today, I hope it'll be my future too (Everwild looks amazing)
Really enjoyed the video! Wanted to point out that Rare did not develop, nor really have much involvement with Killer Instinct 2013.
Also, there are still a handful of people still there from the N64 and earlier days - including the lead designer of Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie (Gregg Mayles), an artist from Diddy Kong Racing (Paul Cunningham), the creator of Stop N Swop for Banjo-Kazooie and Game Boy programmer (Paul Machecek), and four members of the original Conker team (Robin Beanland, Louise O'Connor [Ridgeway], Andy Betts, and Chris Marlow). Considering most teams in the 90s were 15 people, that's a good amount! Also two QA mainstays are still there (Huw Ward and David Wong). And Ken Lobb, who assisted with Killer Instinct and GoldenEye on behalf of Nintendo, is now a creative director at Xbox, so still involved to some degree!
May be more yet, but also just found that another Diddy Kong Racing artist is still there as well (Bryan Smyth), as well as an engineer on that game (Paul Mountain). Another engineer on Diddy Kong Racing was still with the studio up through Kinect Sports Rivals (John Pegg)
David wise has also been involved with rare in more recent years as he did the score for the remake of the battletoads
@@gojirafan0577 That isn't true; the score for that game was done by David and Paul Housden.

perfect! i have the flu and cant go to work and you post this awseome video!
hope you get better gruntilda
Rare’s backs never fully recovered from carrying the N64.
(slaw)-(lum) = Slalom.
great video!
This dude deserves more subs. Amazing content. Keep it up, man.
This is not the first Rare History video I watched but it’s to hear an updated video. I was born 98 but I enjoy playing their classic titles more than modern games.
ZED X Spectrum was used in countries other than the UK. It was popular in South America, USSR, and also here, in Israel. Rare is okay, but Ultimate Play The Game was huge! Best original creative games!
This was a well made and inspiring video! Thanks for putting this all together!
Really well done, it was concise, with enough flavor info thrown in to get me caught up on the stuff I didn't know
I can watch Rare early beginnings a million times over and you sor gained a subscriber! I feel this may just be the best documentary on Rare LTD ❤
British company called US GOLD ... A bit odd of a name choice there but ok what ever.
We need a new conkers game. The adult gaming world would go crazyyy for it
Great video. To give some leeway to Rare for Sea of Thieves, the idea of releasing a game early, and adding in the content later seems to be a Microsoft problem, not necessarily a Rare problem. It's possible that even if Rare felt like they needed more time for the game, MS probably wouldn't allow it. Hopefully it's an attitude MS turns around on (as well as hiring a lot of contract workers), cause it's really starting to bite them in the ass with games like Halo Infinite. Hopefully Rare are able to turn things around, though considering the people who made Rare what they are aren't with the company anymore, it'll be a hard road ahead of them.
Wasn’t sure if I watched this yet, clicked it, realized I have watched it all the way through, continued to watch it all the way through again lol
Love the videos man
Nice video man, good pacing, good content, no fluff. You love to see it. Could really see the passion in this
Incredibly good video man. I really hope to see more informative and quality content like this from you in the future 🔥
TH-cam algorithm has done it again. Awesome content. Informative and the humor is actually really good quality. definitely subscribed
Perfect Dark Zero is pretty underrated tbh. if only it had a map editor like in Farcry: Insticts/Predator it would be a God tier game Imo
awesome video reminds me of the History of (video game franchise/company) that machinima used to do keep up the dope work!
I still don't understand why Nintendo ditched Rare this hard after they made such gems for the N64...
First no financial aid and then refusing to buy them... I wonder why
Yeah that's one of their dumbest moves in that period, up there with classics like sticking with cartridges, GameCube discs and creating playstation
It's because Rare was already not what it was anymore. Alot of their best producers/developers had left (there were alot of troubles inhouse) and it would never be the same, and Nintendo knew that. They let Microsoft buy it.
@@XpRnz Very true unfortunately. Rare was going downhill before they were bought.
@@steindororngunnarsson3846Name one game they created after the sell that was worth it.. yeah, none. Nintendo let them buy it because Rare core team was long gone by then.

This is a fantastic video essay on the history of Rare. You did an excellent job on the material; the visuals kept everything engaging. I hope you continue to do these kinds of videos because I don't think enough people understand the rich gaming history, from pong to arcades to the console wars of the 80s, the downfall of Atari, etc., all-important history ga(y)mers need to know.
I absolutely LOVED the rich colours of that R logo. Such a saturated deep blue with the gold 😍😍😍
Sad, from stardom on the SNES and N64, to a modern day mid company, DK64 and Diddy Kong racing will always be some of my favorites on the N64, and the DK country series left a mark on me when i was a kid
A small addendum is that the 2013 Killer Instinct isn't even from Rare, it was a Rare property licensed out to Double Helix, who then passed it onto Iron Galaxy for support.
Still a super cool game though.
23:54 Funny you should mention that, considering the photo used here is from 2015 when they founded their mobile game studio Fortune Fish. Tim Stamper still has a presence on social media, as infrequent as it is, but he was the guy who still had a ROM of Project Dream and helped get it online back in 2015 through Rare's YT channel. He even recently started teasing some more hidden relics as of this week actually.
24:55 Killer Instinct, while yes, had a bit of input from Rare, they were not the primary developers, that being Double Helix and later Iron Galaxy -- those guys deserve most of the praise for that game.
I recognize the love and passion for Rare, though there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding them that still persist today. You dispelled a few (and kudos for taking your lumps with Kinect Sports' sales) though there's quite a few gaps that I feel should've been highlighted -- the studio still has several veterans for instance, with one dating back to the Ultimate days. Still, I have faith you'll continue to grow if you keep it up.
Dude have you never said the word slalom before?
I gotta say I'm just thankful I had the chance to live the period when they realised DKC and all their N64 gems, they are a huge part of my childhood best memories.
Jet force Gemini is so slept on
Best soundtrack on the system too!
@@XpRnz I agree

Great video Carlito, can't wait for the classic Coney rewatch
Love this video!! U got my sub keep it up!
What a journey it's been. Hope there is more single player experiences to come from Rare but if not we'll always have the old ones
I almost wonder whether the level in donkey Kong country with the red light green light is a low-key Easter egg for the fact that his first program was traffic lights.
Jet force gemini was a gem
Carlito should DEFINITELY do a review on the donkey Konga and DK Jungle Beat! Those games are good
Jontron referred to RareWare as the Beatles of Gaming before.
I'd agree, at least for 90's Rare, everything they touched was gold.
and I refer to Jontron as the David Duke of TH-camrs

For me, thats the saddest story in the game industry. Most of Rare's games were a dream, there was something magical about this studio and now no one cares. Nintendo made a huge mistake selling Rare. I really hope someday Rare will returns home, to the place they never should have left.
The sad part about that is that modern Rare isn’t the same as the Rare from the 90’s/2000’s. Almost everyone from the company have moved on to other companies, or left the industry. If Rare was sold back to Nintendo, the only thing that would really change would be rereleases of Diddy Kong racing, and the DKC games…

Any existing genre theyd put a spin on it. I even liked their 360 era of games despite how poorly they sold.
loved rare growing up. still can’t forgive microsoft for what they did to them. completely different studio now

As a bro that grew up playing DK Country and Killer Instinct this was a dope mini doc. Thank you.
I never got how you can be a of a company, especially a 30+ years old one that's seen it's staff 100% rotated multiple times. Logos and company names don't make games, people do. You can totally like what they did then as much as what they do now, but it doesn't give a relation to the previous games and the current ones in any way.
Amazing work! I hope Rare will make a great comeback soon
Yesssss. My favorite recently discovered channel. Keep em coming!
Love this movie!! :)
Nice video, subbed
I wake up, see you posted, and watch it all!
Awesome video, awesome channel!
These videos are super interesting to me, and I was gonna fall asleep to this video while hung over, but then I saw the Luffy profile picture. It was then I knew that I had to devote myself to consume this media whole
Nintendo never ceases to make bad decision
Was gonna say, Sea of Thieves looks amazing, it really has that old but modern Rare feel. I was really shocked. Everything in me felt the need to play it. But once I did ? There was nothing to do outside of sail you ship and play music till you hit land... which is really sad.
It looks to be having a lot more content now. But for me ? The moment had passed. I still wish it all the success possible, I use to love Rare back in the old days and would really like to see them rise again.
That really sadden me seeing what Rare became, I grew up with the first Donkey kong country on Super Nintendo and seeing one of my favourite video game company looking like this today is just sad !
Keep these fire ass videos coming

grabbed by the ghoulies is so good and underrated 😭
Facts it's goated
@@willycheez7218 it's so full of the early rare charm ugh, it's so good
I will forever be thankful for Rare. Nintendo giving them an opportunity to let them do what they want with Donkey Kong is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
After Mario was split from Donkey Kong and got his own games, villains, supporting cast, world building, etc... It seemed like Nintendo didn't know what to do with him. In the NES era, we got ports of the arcade games and a math game. To Nintendo, DK is all about an angry Kong throwing barrels and that's it, what else to do with it?
Then came Rare. Not only they revived the series (not counting the GB game that came out few months before DKC1), but they made a game with a revolutionary graphics, tight platform ing, banger soundtrack and unique twist on the platforming genre.
And just like Mario getting his own games, new character designs, supporting cast, villains and world building, Rare did the same thing. They gave us Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, Wrinkly, Kiddy, Funky, Chunky, Lanky, Tiny, King K. Rool, etc... They gave us a new design of Donkey Kong, they gave us a unique world building and so much more.
Rare made Donkey Kong into more then just angry Kong throwing barrels. Sometimes I question what the character and series would've been like if Nintendo never hired Rare.
So, thank you Rare. Thank you for giving a new life to Donkey Kong and thank you for your other masterpieces such as Banjo-Kazooie and Conker.
I just want more banjo kazooie :(
No only battletoads
been waiting of years for a proper rare documentary
thank you for being an absolute legend
