THQ

THQ was an American company that served both as a video game developer and publisher. Since Conker's Bad Fur Day did not meet Nintendo of Europe's standards, THQ partnered with Rare to publish the game in Europe.

On August 12, 2003, it was announced that THQ signed a distribution agreement with Microsoft to publish four of Rare's games on Game Boy Advance, although the remakes for the Donkey Kong Country trilogy were published by Nintendo. The last game published by THQ is a Nintendo DS game made by Rare, Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise.
