Answer: Nintendo always owned the rights to Donkey Kong as they created him in the 80's. Rare was just backed, financially, by Nintendo and developed the Donkey Kong Country game for them. When Microsoft bought Rare they knew they weren't getting Donkey Kong (although some execs probably did when they saw all the Donkey Kong posters in Rare's headquarters).
