True, Nintendo being back with Rare won't make them better, but Rare should still be a Nintendo dev regardless. They started with nintendo, and dammit, they should end with Nintendo.
I'm planning on starting a boycott of Rare as a means of convincing Microsoft to give them back. I actually go so far as to go to local games stores and hide Rareware games to prevent people from buying them. Soon I'm going to start a letter-writing campaign with the intention of pestering Microsoft and Nintendo into into going back to the way things used to be.
Oh, and puffy, your comment that "Microsoft aren't gonna sell them and Nintendo certainly won't be buying them back" is bullshit. I will fucking resort to terrorism before I give up on Rare being sold back to Nintendo. BURN MICROSOFT!
