30 games for 30 bucks
It doesn’t haveDonkey Kong CountryorGoldenEye, butRare Replaydoes offer a neat challenge forBattletoadsfans: how long can you stay alive on the infamous speeder bike sequence?
During a hands-on session with the 30-game bundle, I was told that someone at the studio managed to survive for four minutes before wiping out. I got nervous just hearing about it. Besides bundling 30 years of history onto a single Xbox One disc,Rare Replayhas little challenges for some older titles and behind-the-scenes interviews with current and former staff.
I tried out several of those earlier titles, likeJetpac, Banjo-Kazooie(looks crisp!), andVivaPiñata: Trouble in Paradise(less crisp, but still adorable). This collection will be worth it for folks who hate using their old, slow, nearly-dead Xbox 360. Speaking of which, thanks to the upcoming backward compatibility functionality on Xbox One, your save data can be transferred intoRare Replay.

Rare Replaywill be out for Xbox One on Jun 30, 2025. Remember the good times?
