| ChrolloLucilfer said: 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.
