Maybe they got rid of them cause one of the main things in rare's games were state of the art graphics & that wasn't really part of nintendo's strategy anymore?

Either way, i miss them too, they should come back :p

No.

Stamper brothers wanted to sell their quotes of Rare so they offered them to Nintendo ( Nintendo "only" had 49% ).

Nintendo saw it wasn't worth buy Rare so they let know to Stamper brothers that they could sell Rare to another company.

Stamper brothers gave to Nintendo US$ 100 millions , plus "their" most lucrative IP ( Donkey Kong  ).

Nintendo left al the other IPs created by Rare to them. Then Stamper brothers sold Rare for US$ 377 million to Microsoft.

Everyone knows how commecially succesfull was Rare after their department from Nintendo. 

PS: I think Nintendo at the time paid US$ 40 million to get 49% of Rare.
