Why can't other 2nd party Nintendo devs ever compete with RARE?

Rare has definitely fallen much farther than Squeenix

Retro is, for lack of a better word, RARE. Many of the people at Retro now made up what was the much smaller RARE back then.

The brand RARE has nosedived, the actual talent never left Nintendo.

Rare is a UK based developer with  200+ people in their prime.

Retro studios is located in Texas and has around 100 employees.

I think you got your facts wrong.

Edit: And to answer the Ops question: No studio ever has reached Rare´s string of quality games with the limited number of employees. Capcom and SE are far bigger .
