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.

I dunno. Nintendo is in talks with Namco to work on the next Super Smash title. They could make a secondary contract to work on Killer Instinct if they secured the rights to it. I would buy a Wii U for Rare titles under Nintendos belt. Some of the old Rare people work for Nintendo and Retro.
