I still have my nintendo 64, as well as both games, and the GBA game gruntilda's revenge.Microsoft didn't buy RareWare.... RareWare and Nintendo had a dispute. This probably happened sometime in the end of the Nintendo 64's lifetime. Probably having something to do with either Donkey Kong, or Concur. After all, RareWare did get pretty ticked off after Nintendo rejected Concur's Adventure. This led to the creation of Concur's Bad Fur Day. Something similar probably happened. Nintendo probably rejected a game that RareWare would sell pretty good. (Like Concur's Adventure.) Although, you can always Google it...
One of the worst things about the microsoft version of the original games, in my opinion, is that they removed all Nintendo references and jokes. Sad stuff right there, although it's necessary due to copyright.
EDIT: Nevermind. Microsoft purchased RareWare for $375 Million. Too bad...
