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

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 .

I seem to have had the sizes confused indeed, but Retro is made up of many Rare developers.

I don´t think "many" people moved from the United Kingdom to America just so they can work at Retro Studios... which itself was formed 4 years before Nintendo´s stake in Rare was sold to Microsoft.

So no, I don´t believe "many" or even a single former Rare dev works at Retro Studios.
