Lucas-Rio on 17 October 2014
Rare was almost dead by that point. Yes, Starfox Adventure was a very good game, but it took a lot of time by RARE standard and it was done with Nintendo's inputs.
Look at what they have done with Microsoft; virtually nothing. Average games quality wise who sold very averagely.
Nintendo getting 185 millions $ for an empty shell was an amazing steal. I had rather see Nintendo continuing to buy small studios like Retro studio (1 millions $) and Monolith (a few millions $) or opening new ones from the ground rather than spending big to keep empty shells like Rare was.
