I laugh everytime I hear Sony fanboys react to another 3rd party pulling away from Sony by saying, "who cares, I haven't liked their games since X". It reminds me of all the Nintendo fanboys saying the same thing back in the N64/Cube days. I thought that was idiotic then and I think it's idiotic today.

Really, this stuff is absolutely hilarious. Remember when Microsoft bought Rare, and the Nintendo fans who trolled message boards far and wide with praise for Rare and games like Perfect Dark, Conker, Donkey Kong 64, etc. suddenly started disowning them, saying they hadn't made anything good since Goldeneye and they were glad to be rid of them? Fanboys are always good for a laugh in a ridiculous sort of way (see: PSTriple).

Yep, anyone who thinks Nintendo fans are somehow immune to such fanboyism are silly.

Although (in defence of the Nintendo fans) on many message boards before the news came out there were tons of postings about whether Rare would return to their previous level of greatness. Banjo Kazooie was generally considered far better than Banjo Twooie and Donkey Kong 64, Jetforce Gemini and Conkers Bad Fur Day were flops, and Perfect Dark was very good but was delayed several times and stuck very close to the Goldeneye formula.

People were praising Rare mainly because they thought that a lot of their problems were caused by the loss of key staff members when Zoonami and Free Radical were created. The bashing of Rare afterwords was partially from frustration of losing Rare to Microsoft and partially honest comments; rare was taking forever to release games and when released they were not having the impact of previous Rareware games (see. Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero)
