Remember before Rare joined Nintendo? They were good, after joining Nintendo? They became legendary, after joining Microsoft? They became shit.

Rare isn't "shit". They still make solid games that are still actually enjoyable, I feel you just took the opportunity to attack the developer.

I mean, they are not as great as they once were mind you as allot of the people left the company... But games like Kameo, Viva Pinata and hell, even Nuts and Bolts were enjoyable.
With that, your statement doesn't change the fact that RARE provided input into probably one of the best fighters of this console generation, but also doesn't get to take credit for it as they aren't the developer.

@bolded: Totally agree.

As for the re-release part, something along those lines would be glorious:

I would be all for a visual update, if it is a visual update of the base game. Aka. A "Remaster" but with everything left alone.
StarCraft: Remastered is the perfect example of a 2D game being massively improved visually, but still playing identically.
