Forums - Nintendo Discussion - should rareware return as a nintendo developer?

S.T.A.G.E. on 22 May 2009

Rare is still a great company. Microsoft bought them for a reason. The first Perfect Dark was pretty much a test and even that turned out great for an early game. They will pump out quality and I hope that E3 becomes everything and more in showcasing that.

No, Rare should stay with Microsoft. The day Chris and Tim Stamper left the company is the day their quality went from ''as good as Nintendo'' to ''pretty nice, most of the time''. Then, there was the Microsoft purchase and the split-off of Free Radical and Zoonami.

Rare isn't worth all the money it would cost. I'd rather have Nintendo investing it in some nice first party games.

 

 

the stamper brothers didn't leave till late 2007. and as i said before free radical is a lemon.

Ouch, I fail in that case. Sorry for my uneducated post :P Forget about what I said earlier.

Anyway, they aren't as good as they used to be anymore.

 



Herpes. Never forget.

Yea does anyone really want them back. They can sell Nintendo their properties such as Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, and Killer Instinct. Otherwise, the Rare MS owns is not the Rare Nintendo used to own. So really, other than saving a few IPs from further annihilation, what is the point of getting the actual company.

 

 Okay you are going to slam Rare for a single Banjo game, that they decided to do different, they didnt even call it Banjo 3, so thus it isnt.

They wanted a spin off and i think it is a decent game.

Perfect Dark Zero was pretty good on the Xbox, also are you sure Nintendo owned Rare, i am pretty sure they just made a lot of their games, dont think Nintendo would let a company like Rare go, if they did games such as Banjo, Donkey Kong etc.

Oh you poor souls who try to defend Rare now.  If only you had played Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Godleneye 007, Banjo 1 and 2, etc.  Then you would know exactly how a lot of us feel.  And if ya have played them and your still saying this, then I smell bias. 

Am I sure Ninty owned Rare?  Wow convo should have stopped there.  Go look it up... you have the abilities.  You should find Ninty had a plurality of ownership with Rare and an exclusive publishing agreement.  Closest thing to actually owning them.  Tell me when ya find that and then you may resume your argument.  

 

All I've ever said is Rare back when Ninty had them and Rare when MS have them are not the same company.  It has nothing to do with who owns them.  Just look at the change of people.

 


Ok your post sounds a little like you believe it is fact, where in truth it is exactly that, your opinion, it is also my opinion. I like the Rare games that are coming out, you don't WOOP. It is an opinion, i hate killzone 2 with a passion, i think it is a pathetic waste of time with no game play... but that is just MY OPINION, do you understand?

 

49 percent is not owning, its not even having a majority share, go back to school and find out that 51 is more then 49, and this "agreement" went as quickly as MS buying the company, so it wasn't that watertight was it.

I have played the above games, Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo 1 are two of my favourite games of my console playing life. You are objecting on the case of what it sounds like is bias, you are saying you do not enjoy any of Rare's games now that is owned by MS. A lot have agreed with you and they get very similar scores, so i don't know where your argument for my apparent bias is.

That's fine, but I still want to see a Rare game on a Nintendo home system. A home system. NOT a portable.

I think they would be better off back with Nintendo but oh well.

Banjo-Kazooie Nuts N' Bolts is pretty decent, and Perfect Dark on Wii would probably have been better than The Conduit or Red Steel even if it was no GoldenEye.

They'd also probably support things like Wii Speak, online play, etc. and put a good amount of effort into visuals.
