Who Killed Rare?

Great article.

I never knew Activision was this close to buy Rare.

Also this article really made me realize (furthermore) how amazing Nintendo (or perhaps I should say Miyamoto) really is.

Miyamoto called Donkey Kong Country an average platformer. Admittedly, he was pissed at the time, because his Yoshi's Island didn't find the same commercial success.

"The first point that I want to make is that I actually worked very closely with Rare on the original Donkey Kong Country. And apparently recently some rumor got out that I didn't really like that game? I just want to clarify that that's not the case, because I was very involved in that. And even emailing almost daily with Tim Stamper right up until the end."
