Whose N64 lineup was better, Nintendo EAD or Rare? (And why)

[Soundwave]

I do think GoldenEye 007 in a lot of ways saved the system.

Nintendo had their entire "fall 1997" slate delayed into 1998 practically ... Rare saved their ass with GoldenEye 007 and Diddy Kong Racing, otherwise I think the system would have in large part collapsed due to software droughts. 

There was a laaaaaaarge gap between Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Rare carried the system for a big part of that.
