After being sold to Microsoft it lost its good programmers

Rare hasn't made anything I like since the 64, when they were one of the best developers

 

Perfect Dark: zero was an abomination, it doesn't have the right to bear the Perfect Dark name

The Stamper Brothers didn't leave until Early 07' so they still had good programmers when they joined MS. I just don't think their games were recieved teh same way since they left Nintendo.

 

Also I wasn't aware that Miyamoto was upset that Nintendo allowed Rare to make Donkey Kong Country. I also didn't know that he had them use code from a new ip they were developing to make Star Fox Adventures for the GameCube. I wonder if the original game would have fared better than taking those mechanics and adding it to Star Fox? He did the right thing for the company though. I doubt Nintendo wanted Rare to debut a new ip on the Gamecube and then have all the sequels exclusive to Microsoft.
