Nintendo Apes Rare with Rare

While it is certainly unfortunate, and a HUGE waste of resources in my opinion, that Microsofts Rare isn't producing traditional Rare content, isn't it funny how Nintendo have basically capitalized on this deficiency by remaking arguably their best two games in their entire history (which arguably led to them unanimously winning E3 2010)?

Donkey Kong Country Returns - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMhEs78Zix8

Who would have honestly thought that this E3 would turn out exactly like this, despite that fact we already knew Microsoft had told Rare to make Kinect games? I am shocked, slightly amused and even a bit sympathetic to Rare as we know them today.

But then i remember that they copied Avatars. And then i looked at the similarities between Kinect Sports and the Wii Series.

This is by no means the only similarity, things like a giant airship, the colour pallet, etc are clearly copypastad from someone else.

Yea, they'll get no sympathy from me. Congratulations to Nintendo, who proved that they needed Rare just as much as Rare needed them. Its quite a romantic notion i think.

DKCR isn't a remake, it's basically DKC4.
