Their former glory was hype.

Their best days were on the SNES. Everything they did on the N64 was over rated.

Even the former employees of Rare haven't done anything noteworthy.

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.

Pretty much every game from the N64/PS1/Saturn gen has aged horribly so that's not really something you can't hold against them or that was exclusive to Rare games.

Nintendo and Rare were very much a creative collaboration. Microsoft's relationship has been quite different from all accounts.
