Nintendo would not have allowed the game quality to slump that much if they had bought the remaining shares of Rare, you bet your ass Rare's designers would've gotten an earful from Mr. Miyamoto and the Japanese staff for any sloppy design. Almost every dev that works with Nintendo takes their game up a notch, probably because Nintendo doesn't fuck around with that stuff.
Banjo-Threewii and Diddy Kong Racing 2 would've sold a ton the Wii and/or DS too, and likely other Rare IP too ... they missed out on the Wii/DS era where Nintendo had a huge userbase.
