Many who blamed Nintendo for selling Rare to M$ should be blaming the original founders; the stamper brothers are the ones who sold the company (their 51% share). Since Nintendo only had 49 percent of the company they had to sell it to Microsoft who had the bigger half.

Even if nintendo decided to buy the other half, I dont think MS were willing to sell it all willy nilly. they would've wanted a nice pretty penny for it.


Who knows where Rare would be today if they weren't sold?

Stamper brothers would have left regardless and they would be making second rate cutesey games for nintendo most likely. I think the company is better off where they are to be honest...
