I miss the old Rare...

I still don't understand why DK 64 isn't on Virtual Console. I know rare made this game, but Rare mentioned that that they do not own the rights to this game, but Nintendo does. Seriously, this should be on Virtual Console.

@simplyxwilliam I think it's because the N64 version required the expansion pack, which VC can't emulate.

@simplyxwilliam Size limitations I'm assuming..

@simplyxwilliam Maybe it's the Jetpac mini-game in Cranky's Lab. Rare owns the rights to Jetpac.

@simplyxwilliam they were able to put all dkc games on virtual console, so what makes dk64 any different
