Nearly everything they ever did on Nintendo platforms was brilliant. Microsoft wasted their talent away and now they are nothing. That can't be denied. Microsoft ruined Rare. 

I think what ruined Rare was their inability to create games that Xbox fans enjoy. Rare rode the coattails of Nintendo.

Rare's only work that actually passed the test of time is their 8 and 16 bit games. Most of N64 work was hype and aged horribly.

As I've said before, if that old Rare team was as talented as you believe they would have moved to another studio and created hits. As far as I'm aware that didn't happen.

Nah, Goldeneye is still awesome, even if it's horrible to play with a N64 controller.

Also no future success? How about Timesplitters?
