Sorry, before Halo there was goldeneye. Rare was never more popular than the Nintendo era. People are actually more disappointed in them today than at any point in their career, but then again the Stamper bros left. 

Anyway, you're its your opinion. LOL 

Seeing that was like a bad dream. Imagine Rare didnt make the Nintendo games and it was just Microsoft. LOL...what a horrible world to live in.

That's the thing, I'm not gonna agree something was good simply because it was popular. A lot of the N64 era games aged horribly which shows those games had major issues even at release. My favorite thing about Rare Replay is it shows I was right, most of those classic Rare games were over rated and almost unplayable by standards of today.

For me, the best of Rare was DKC and KI. MS doesn't have DKC but they have KI and that lead to one of greatest fighting games ever. All the amazing talent of Rare left and did what? Nothing notable. Rare was and still is a fine studio, but they were over rated.

When I was younger it wasn't about popularity, Rare was on the losing team and it still compelled people to buy new consoles. Goldeneye sold just as much as the first halo. Rare is no longer a fine studio  imo but a shell. Luckily MS doesn't have to make them recreate all of the nostalgia  games. Their only good game to me on any xbox platform was killer instinct and it wasn't even made by them. Then again I've been spoiled by Nintendo and sony first party growing  up so I guess it's a little unfair to expect the same from microsoft.
