Now a part of Microsoft, Rare would make games exclusively for {{iw|wikipedia|Xbox}} and PC. These titles include ''Grabbed by the Ghoulies'', ''Kameo: Elements of Power'', and the ''Viva Piñata'' and ''Kinect Sports'' series. While few of the original titles under Microsoft were financial or critical failures, many fans of Rare's output before the buyout were critical of the company's new direction, in part due to their controversial attempts to revive their existing characters in the vehicle-building sandbox title ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' and the heavily censored remake ''Conker: Live & Reloaded''. Rare would also collaborate with Nintendo and {{iw|wikipedia|THQ}} to publish several games for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS based on their existing franchises and characters, as well as remakes of earlier ''Donkey Kong'' games. Rare would eventually find the biggest success they had experienced since their collaboration with Nintendo in the pirate adventure game ''Sea of Thieves'' for the Xbox One. They additionally assisted with outsourced installments of the ''Battletoads'', ''Conker'', and ''Killer Instinct'' IPs for Xbox hardware; and are currently working on additions to ''Sea of Thieves'' in addition to the upcoming ''Everwild''. | Now a part of Microsoft, Rare would make games exclusively for {{iw|wikipedia|Xbox}} and PC.
