Which was greater at their peak, Rare or Retro?

Retro made what to my eyes are the two best video games on their respective genres (Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze). While the best Rare games are VERY good, none of them reach that level (to me at least).

Banjo, GoldenEye, and Perfect Dark were quite revolutionary for their time. I’d argue Banjo mastered the collect-a-thon/platformer gameplay loop, and stands toe-to-toe with titans such as Mario 64.

I'd even say Banjo is just plain better than Super Mario 64. Don't get me wrong: Rare IS one hell of a developer. I just think that Tropical Freeze and the Prime Trilogy are ABSURDLY good.
