It hard to say really If Nintendo will last another 100 years. As all it would take is a massive buyout and the company could potential be destroyed by pure incompetence from their new owners and become a shell of their former selves. While not in Nintendo class, Rare was a great developer. But It didn't take long for Microsoft to the ruin the company through it's poor decisions.


Rare really didn't have any truly iconic character properties though, it's two most popular games (Donkey Kong Country and GoldenEye) were based on previously created characters.

Banjo-Kazooie is probably their biggest standalone character creation and that sold 3.65 million copies worldwide, which is nothing compared to what the Mario games sell for instance.
