| Veknoid_Outcast said: If Nintendo was to buy anything from Microsoft, I think it would be a lot more important to buy back Rare's intellectual property, not the entire studio. Most of the important staff -- Seavor, Kirkhope, Hollis, Doak, Norgate, Edmonds, Tilston, Wise, Tim and Chris Stamper -- are long gone. If Nintendo owned the rights to Rare's IPs, however, it could create external or internal studios to produce new games from a number of series: Banjo, Conker, Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, Blast Corps, Jet Force Gemini, etc. Even something pedestrian like Grabbed by the Ghoulies could become great with the right talent and supervision. |
Nah the major movers and shakers from Rare's glory days are all but gone at this point. It would be like Sega announcing a Shenmue sequel developed by a brand new German development team no one has ever heard of.
