I dk, if we are discussing the value of Nintendo as a close publishing partner i would say you have to be kidding. Lately they totally f-----ed many of these 3rd/2nd whatever's with no marketing, no western release help, etc.
But the reality is Rare is not Rare anymore, its an empty broken shell. There is no yoke.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
