If there's one thing I wish Nintendo could have avoided, it is the sale of rare It seems like a lot of Nintendo fans these days like to downplay rare, saying they were past their peak, but that's just damage control. Nintendo and rare was one of the greatest game development partnerships ever and nintendo should try to work with ex rare devs as often as possibl. |
They're not wrong though, the Stampers and various teams had already left at that point and all of Rare's projects were running over budget and well off schedule it's not something people say just because they were sold as they were having problems at that point the was even a fierce internal rivalry between teams especially the Banjo and Conker teams, what finally sealed Rare's fate was Microsoft purchasing the majority of shares at which point Rare hold to be sold.
