To celebrate the upcoming release of 'Rare Replay' for the Xbox One, let’s take a look at the game that brought Rare into the superstars of game developers. Donkey Kong went to his cave to find there’s no bananas inside; they were stolen. It is now up to the 2 DKs to get revenge and find those bananas. Using SGI graphics to create 3D models, this move convinced Nintendo to purchase a 49% stake in Rare and this game was like no other on the Super Nintendo at the time. This began a new franchise and one of Nintendo’s signature mascots to this day.
