Rare published Conker and Perfect Dark themselves. Nintendo didn't own that IP because they didn't publish it. And if you are going to ask about Killer Instinct, that IP is in such limbo between Nintendo, Rare and Midway (now defunct) that I doubt we'll ever see the IP again unless the legal issues are alleviated. Banjo carried over with Rare because Nintendo sold their rights to it. |
Okay Viper, maybe if the game is published by the studio itself the games are property of the publisher in most such cases, but even then, how could a 1st party studio publish its own games and retain rights to its own IPs if the studio is fully owned? These kind of things don't happen in full acquisition or ownership (majority share).
Also, to be really picky, you did tell pswii60 they were 1st party, despite the valid point you bring.
You know, I don't want to harp on you, but you have to understand after all these years of hearing the media call Rare a 2nd party in the 64 and cube days, I was just taken aback.
