I somehow only played Banjo-Tooie and never got around to playing the first one, but I'll weigh-in anyway.
I always thought that the collectathon type platformers that Rare did were always a bit overrated. This includes both Banjos and DK64. They were fun for a while, but the games usually got a bit stale by the time you got to the end. For that reason, I'm not that sad to see this type of game fade away.
On the other hand...
I loved Rare during their SNES and N64 days. Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Diddy Kong Racing are some of my favorites to this day. It is sad to see this once great company become less and less relevant. For that reason, I'm sad to see this game do poorly.
