Disturbing thought/rumor: Retro working on Mario Kart U?

I think Retro is overrated as hell, Nintendo needs to get Rare back from MS which is very unlikely... :( I would like to see a StarFox game by Retro tho... Please, 4 Prime (including Hunters) games are enough.

But Rare is a shell of its former self, at least creatively. I think Nintendo (or anyone else for that matter) should buy Rare's IPs, and actually use them. What's the point of Banjo, Conker, Jet Force, and Killer Instinct gathering dust?

I agree about Prime. A wonderful series, but it's run its course.

@OP: Maybe a small team from Retro is helping on Mario Kart Wii U, but I'd be shocked if this is the sexy title everyone is expecting from Retro. Much more likely it's Metroid, Star Fox, or a brand new IP.
