Rare was one of the hottest game devs under Nintendo, then they went to Microsoft and turned to shit?

 



Why some of you have to take shots at other companies to make Nintendo look better?

Nintendo is an amazing company, it doesn't need demise from others to look good.

Anyway, Rare was a hot studio even before Nintendo bought nearly half of their stock. They were technologically more advanced than any of the Nintendo studios, therefore they got Nintendo's interest.

Rare was a very secretive company, even sometimes to their publisher. Nintendo wouldn't know about the final games until they discussed the publishing terms. Just like when Nintendo refused to publish Conker in Europe because it was too controversial for them, so THQ had to do replace'em.

Goldeneye mp was made without Nintendo knowing of its development process.

Their biggest talents started to leave in 1997 during Perfect Dark conception.
