It seems like Rare is working on a new game, and it might be something that actually gets fans excited.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer visited the studio today, and he posted a blatant tease on his Twitter account:
“Got to play the new @RareLtd game today. Rare building a uniquely Rare game, as it should be. Great visit to the studio.”
Rare has been sadly churning out Kinect-focused games since 2008, although they were known for the infamously hard NES game, Battletoads.
Would it excite the nostalgia cockles of your heart to know that a new trademark for Battletoads was filed by Microsoft, back on November 5th?
You know what they say—everything old is new again.

“What? The who guys? Are we talking about the game things again?”
How I picture modern Microsoft planning meetings.
