I agree for the most part.. I see a lot of Rareware Entertainment in those lists... that company should have stayed with Nintendo... who knows where Nintendo would be.


This.

I dunno, their last Nintendo game, Starfox Adventures, already marked the beginning of their mediocrity streak that continues today. Nintendo were just fine without the likes of Perfect Dark Zero and Nuts 'n' Bolts.


That was Nintendo's fault, not Rare. Rare was working on a new IP and Miyamoto told them to reskin it with Star Fox. Look it up. That was ALL Nintendos fault.

And it was Nintendo´s idea to hand Donkey Kong over for DKC and morph whatever racing game they were working on into Diddy Kong Racing.

Star Fox Adventures turned out mediocre because it was incredibly rushed to be finished before the Microsoft buyout went down.

It wasn´t Nintendo´s fault.

Look it up.


I know all of that and the reason for the rush was all Nintendos fault. It was ALL their fault. Rare was working intently on the game and passed the Miyamoto looked at the game and just said reskin it. Thats all she wrote.  Rare is a very labor intensive company and their loss left a void in Nintendo offerings forever.


No, it absolutely wasn´t.

Every time Nintendo suggested to change something within Rare´s game, the results were good (as I said previously: Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong Racing). Launching a new IP in 2001 on the N64 would have resulted in a bloodbath.

Nintendo forced them to move the game to the GameCube and tie it to the Starfox IP.

The change in direction and platform delayed the game.

The mediocre quality was a result of the short development time (Levels and bosses were cut, like the battle against scales) and the game was stretched with filler stuff.

The game released September 23, 2002 in america, Rare was purchased in September 24, 2002 by Microsoft.

They shat the game out to be done with it, and putting the blame solely on Nintendo is wrong.

The N64 prototype to proove just how similar the games are : https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cOVBRJToVDY

No. Miyamoto was lazy as hell and we wont see another Star Fox for a while because of it. Star Fox 64 will continue to be its legacy because Nintendo thinks poorly about games outside of Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Donkey Kong on rinse and repeat. The greatest Donkey Kong game was made by Rare. Goldeneye, Killer Instinect, Banjo & Kazooie, Conker  and more were made by Rare. After Rare left Nintendo a part of me left Nintendo. Nintendo will have great games, but without Rare titles even their Wii U wont hold a candle to the N64.
