Nintendo refused to publish Conker's Bad Fur Day, making other companies publishing it.
StarFox Adventures was probably well in developpment at that time(if not finished) and they most likely felt like getting rid of Rare.

What?

Nintendo published the game, so if they had any doubts we’d never have got that far. They were absolutely behind it, the problem was i think the restrictive nature of how you position a game like this… It couldn’t be advertised in certain places, couldn’t even be reviewed in certain media because of the publications target audience. This restriction didn’t help at all with promoting the game.

Oh, I should've been more precise : Nintendo Europe. THQ published the game in Europe instead.
