Retro Sudios cannot replace the Rareware magic which is now lost forever. Rareware games were the hardest games on the market and had a ton of replay value but the IPs are worthless if there are no high quality AAA games behind. Even DKC, once one of the best Jump & Runs on the market, is now a mediocre game without anything special.
The N64 had ton of AAA Rare games with very high metacritic ratings, Wii-U and 3DS barely have good games at all. Microsoft did not only hurt Nintendo with the Rareware buyout, it killed them. Because without good AAA games which Rare produced a lot, Nintendo systems are not attractive for hardcore and adult players anymore.
