Rare by a long shot. The only difference is that Retro has not stooped as low as Rare has at any point, and has been far more consistent. They have also been able to keep Rare IPs (Donkey Kong Country) current and fun - even if not quite reaching the levels of DKC1 and DKC2. Rare had its moment during SNES and N64 eras, but was already declining by the time of Jet Force Gemini. Retro, on the other hand, had both the best game in the comparison (Metroid Prime) and have remained a very good group (Metroid Prime 4 is unfairly criticized - yes it is less good than 1 and 2, but not a poor game). In other words, while Rare was better when things were good, I would take Retro now any day.
