Doubtful. Rare is fucking dead, and what's left of it isn't worth buying at any price.

If Nintendo gets the purchase it would make sense bringing them back. I can see Rare coming back to some semblence of themselves with Nintendo, plus Nintendo used to oversee Rare. They arent slouches when games are produced. 

If this were still 2002, yes. It's 2012. The culture that made Rare what it was has been thoroughly destroyed in the intervening decade.
