Although Microsoft paid $377 million for the developer Rare in 2002 (the most ever for a videogame developer at that time), Rare was once firmly associated with Nintendo. Its development of Donkey Kong Country (Rare, 1994) became the biggest-selling second-party SNES game, with 9,300,000 units shifted according to VGChartz.


Rare's first game for Nintendo was Slalom on the Nintendo VS. System in 1986.

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (Capcom, 1992) is the best-selling SNES videogame by a third-party developer, with 6.30 million sales.
