I loved their games. But Nintendo began down a different path after GC. Somewhere I couldn't follow. They used push the envelop of control and graphics. Now they don't. They let Rare get destroyed. A developer which was better than Ninty from my point of view.
So unless Ninty have top level visuals again, I'm not theirs anymore.
I was an old school ninty fan. Someone who was wowed as much by their graphics as I was by their gameplay. |
Nintendo was always about control in the first place. In the second place, it was style, not graphics. To them they are not the same thing.
Oh, yeah, they were forced to sell their Rare stock. By Rare itself. They wanted to go with microsoft. Their mistake and their downfall.

No Nintendo also built the Nes, Snes and N64. Snes and N64 were very powerful in graphics and at te front of their respective generations. Nintendo were the ones to decide not to make Wii a powerhouse. A path I coould not follow.
As far as I remember the stamper Bros. at Rare didnt want Rare to be sold. Which is the real reason they left.

1. That was a decision made by the market. The GC was most likely the most powerfull of the generaton and it sold the least of any Nintendo console. Nintendo recognised this and chose a different path with the WII. Ironicly it was the market which could not follow Nintendo's path, and forced a change for the company.
2. The brothers left Rare five years after microsoft took them over. They obvious didn't leave on principle upon the sale. And even if it got sold without their consent, it was still a choice by the company Rare. Their chosen downfall.

1. Show me 1 site that claims the GC was more powerful than Xbox. Ironically I think the market are calling for more power, and the decision with Wii U will be a mistake. I think Nintendo should have stuck to their guns in that case.
2. I'm sure Nintendo ad the ability to keep a company that sold as many copies of games as they did.

1. How about this thread on this very site : http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=146580&page=1
In this thread i read a lot people saying and showing screens to prove that the GC was a bit more powerfull then the xbox.
2. Apparantly the brothers offered their 51 % to Nintendo (49%), but at that time many great talents had left Rare already. So Nintendo said no. You can't blame Nintendo for the fact that Rare was no longer worth buying. Blame Rare.
Check out this about it thread on VGChartz itself: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=3094

Thats not proof. Usiing a forum full of fanboys. I want an article or hard figures to back up those claims. Not selected high res screensots. I owned a GC and later got an Xbox. Xbox clearly had more power. But GC was a powerful console certainly beating out pS2.
Forums are not facts and figures and certainly arent developer proof or hardcore articles.
