Too bad no one is envious of Rare nowadays.

Poor Nintendo. They're a Viva Pinata this week with all the bad news.

Looks like this guys head can't get any bigger, lol.

And look at the state of the company now...

The Nintendo bashing from everyone has been really excessive this week. They have done one of the worst jobs marketing a console I have ever seen but there is still plenty of time to fix the Wii U. I keep hearing how it is because the specs are lesser than the X1/ and PS4 but that logic has never been true. If it was than Genesis,N64,Gamecube,PS3,PSP, and Vita would have all won their generations but they ALL lost. Rare is the best example of why Nintendo should never go 3rd party anyways. All of their new stuff since leaving Nintendo was trash, except for Kinect Sports which is decent.

Rare was pretty badass back before I even paid attention to to who makes games. Almost my entire N64 collection was Rare and Nintendo games.

Nintendo needs to stop being jealous and start selling consoles

There is someone salty
While Nintendo is still pumping out games like the new Super Mario World they or rather the name "Rare" is doomed to make shovelware.
Should be a lesson to everybody - Together they could even save something like the WIiU probably if the old Rare would still exist.

Nintendo WAS envious of you. Now, Rare, you're a complete joke.

I don't see why this can't be true, Rare was amazing back in the day and I'm sure there was a friendly competition between them. Just look at their games, Mario 64 vs Banjo Kazooie, Zelda vs Dinosaur Planet, Mario Kart vs Diddy's Kong Racing.... and add Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct!

Rare was probably even better than Nintendo, it was a shame and a huge mistake they sold them, and one of the reasons I didn't buy a GameCube.
