As it has been said on the thread, just buy Playtonic. Nintendo had a great chemistry with Rare back then, I wondered why they didn't buy them. We'd still be getting groundbreaking Banjo games today probably. Not nuts n' bolts...

They owned 49% of Rare.   Most of the talent had left the company after Star Fox Adventures so Nintendo sold back its shares to the Stamper Brothers (who founded the company).  They in turn sold 100% of the company to MS.

Ah, that makes sense. Wonder why their talents left rare then.
