I agree. Without RARE, Donkey Kong franchise has never been the same.
Miyamoto may have created Donkey Kong but RARE made him who he is.
Though I trust Miyamoto could do work some magic and bring the franchise back; at the moment he's busy creating casual games
Until then, it's wishful thinking.

Now, 2D Metroid.. That'd be f*N sick! as a WiiWare game.
