My point was to show that the griping about Rare even late in the consoles life was unjustified. Think about it like this here is a company that had put eleven games to that console. Had the majority of them receive excellent reviews. Made perfect use of the hardware, and filled out the library. Not only in volume but variety. They produced two FPS, two racers, five platformers, one fighter, one action puzzle. Hardly a one trick pony, and without them Nintendo would have been short on some genres.

I doubt we will see any of those titles on the virtual console or on the arcade unless Nintendo and Microsoft can come to terms. Perhaps the relationship will remain one of hand held ports. However here is hoping the two can agree to share. Would also do well if both companies agreed to open their back libraries to one another. Microsoft and Nintendo have not been overly antagonistic perhaps, because they are working on different markets. I think it would be smart of them to allow some bleeding of old titles to each others platforms. Would hurt Sony just a little bit more I suppose.
