Nintendo selling Rare hurt, Rare was a huge N64 developer for them. It didn't launch with a Mario or Zelda game. Luigi's Mansion was a good game, but short and not a great launch game. Zelda was first shown off as an epic game, and when it was shown a few years later it was a cartoon game that made a lot of people furious. It was a fantastic game, but people didn't want to give it a chance because of the graphics. Mario Sunshine was the only flawed major Mario game and didn't have much variance in it's levels. I played Mario Sunshine a few years ago on the 3D collection, and actually enjoyed it a lot more than I did on the Gamecube. Now having the Resident Evil exclusive deal I thought should have brought in gamers. RE Remake and 4 were fantastic games that deserved more sales. 4 ended up coming to the PS2 later on. I personally bought the PS2 near launch and it was my first non Nintendo system. I bought it originally for the DVD player and to play the Square rpg's that I didn't play on the PS1 since I had the N64. I got the Gamecube a few years later for $99, and I ended up loving the Gamecube more than I did the PS2. There were so many fantastic games on the Gamecube. Tales of Symphonia is one of my favorite JRPG games ever, RE Remake and 4, Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, Wave Race, Baten Kaitos, and so many more Nintendo made games were fantastic.
