Now a part of Microsoft, Rare would make games exclusively for Xbox and PC. These titles include ''Grabbed by the Ghoulies'', ''Conker: Live & Reloaded'', ''Kameo: Elements of Power'', ''Viva Piñata'', and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts]]''. Rare would also collaborate with Nintendo and [[THQ]] to publish several games for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS based on their existing franchises. Rare would then almost exclusively make sports games for Kinect with the only original titles being ''Sea of Thieves'' and the upcoming ''Everwild'', along with involvement in the reboots of ''Killer Instinct'' and ''Battletoads'' as well as the ''Rare Replay'' collection. While none of the titles under Microsoft were financial failures, none have reached the critical and financial success of their creations under Nintendo. | Now a part of Microsoft, Rare would make games exclusively for Xbox and PC.

Rare is the creator and primarily developer of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise, having a hand in every major release. When Microsoft bought Rare from Nintendo, Rare got to keep all original IPs and assets not related to the Donkey Kong franchise, which is why Banjo-Kazooie and other Rare game appeared exclusively on Microsoft platforms. The only exceptions are the two [[Game Boy Advance]] titles, which exist because Microsoft had no direct competitor in the handheld market. | Rare is the creator and primarily developer of the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise, having a hand in every major release.
