I don't know about that. The writing was on the wall. The talent was leaving or had already left, and game development costs were rising. Why should Nintendo have entered a bidding war with Activision and Microsoft for a studio on its way out? Maybe to secure the intellectual property, but were Banjo, Conker, and Perfect Dark worth $375 million?

I think Nintendo acted wisely to forge a partnership with former Iguana staff in 1998 which led to the creation of Retro. That studio filled a lot of the gaps left by Rare.

They havent even come close. They are great devs, dont get me wrong but they are no Rareware.

Rare during its halcyon days, sure.

But Rare 2002-present versus Retro 2002-present? That's no contest.
