everyone that made rare great is gone. The only thing i'd be happy about are the ip's that could be brought back, like perfect dark, killer instinct, banjo kazooie, the miniscule chance that a proper mondern goldeneye could be made, and most hopefully of all.... conker2 bigger badder furrier. Looking at the list, nintendo was a fool of a company to let go of all that ip.

Everyone halfway talented left Rare a long time ago. They haven't made anything worthwhile since Kameo like 8 years ago.

Nintendo could dismantle put Rare and Retro to work together like Sony Santamonica works with other studios to put out nonstop hits. I would say yes, because MS has no creativity at all. MS could keep Killer Instinct because Rare isn't even working on that game. 

I'd be...sad.

Some people from Retro could probably plug the holes, but the ship has already sunk.

This. Nintendo Sold Rare. Who cares about the company anymore. They can't make anything good. Buy the franchises back. Not them.

Old Rare no longer exists and present day Rare does average to mediocre games. I think Nintendo wouldnt have much use for them.

Only if the devs that left came back, I would jizz my pants!

This. I'd buy their games on Xbox 360 if they weren't boiled feces. 

A lot of the original Rare talent left Rare and quite a few have voiced that they prefer working with Nintendo to other developers.

NIntendo never owned Rare. They had a controlling stake in the company. Microsoft came in and bought it out in it's entirety
