KInect Sports was poorly received? The meta score is just a few points less than Wii Sports Resort. Its also selling pretty damn well.

Outside of the original DKC and KI, Rare has always been mediocre to me and most of their games aged horribly.

I disagree on two points,

 

First, I still love most of their old games (Especially Blast Corps and the original Banjo Kazooie). In fact I feel Rare's games are some of the best aged games from the era, and only really consider certain RPGs (Wild Arms, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior 7, etc...) and the Zelda titles to be better aged.

Second, I feel Killer Instinct is their worst aged game on SNES, and KI Gold is their worst aged game on N64.

I'm willing to agree Rare's games aged better than a lot games of that era. Specifically genres that Rare was known for like FPS and 3D platformers. However, I never found their titles impressive and I didn't really enjoy those genres until the next gen.

You're talking about the KI ports and I had the Arcade games in mind.
