RARE without Nintendo is not what it was to be....

You are correct. I don't think many will contend against the notion either.

During the N64 years, Rare made 2 AAA games every year. No company has managed to do that since including themselves.

While I agree that RARE at their peak were pretty much the only guys who could slug it out with Nintendo in terms of quality over time, I really wish you hadn't said that.

Said what?  That for 5 years straight Rare managed to release 2 AAA quality titles each year and no one has been capable of that mark since?

1996:
Killer Instinct

1997:
Blast Corps
Goldeneye
Diddy Kong Racing

1998:
Banjo-Kazooie

1999:
Jet Force Gemini
Donkey Kong 64

2000:
Perfect Dark
Mickey's Speedway USA (easily their worst effort)
Banjo-Tooie

2001:
Conker's Bad Fur Day

Where's the second game in 1998 and 1996 and/or 2001?

Also, even if Rare managed it, Nintendo has not failed to do so also.
