I thought it was highly ironic that while Rare got a new logo this week, games that it made under its old logo with its old partner were receiving new life.
Retro has taken over DK Country. Activision (the current license owner for Bond) has remade the seminal game Golden Eye. Both received their first viewings at E3. (though the week before, some word about the existence/possible existence of these games was on the net).
Meanwhile, the new Rare was featured in Kinect Sports. It is as if Microsoft has told Rare -- "You used to work with Nintendo. We need you to make Nintendo-like games."

Did anyone notice that Nintendo did NOT excise the "Rare" logo from the Goldeneye N64 box?
Also, I guess we know why someone (Nintendo or Activision) did not want Goldeneye (especially a remake) on XBLA.
