I dk, if we are discussing the value of Nintendo as a close publishing partner i would say you have to be kidding. Lately they totally f-----ed many of these 3rd/2nd whatever's with no marketing, no western release help, etc.

But the reality is Rare is not Rare anymore, its an empty broken shell. There is no yoke.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Rare didn't leave Nintendo. Nintendo sold Rare. Misleading title.

 

 

Nintendo didn't just sell Rare to Microsoft, they had no choice but to sell them to Microsoft after Microsoft bought the majority of shares (51%) from the Stamper brothers (Nintendo owned the other 49%).

 

Misleading post.

nintendo had the option to buy the the remaining 51%, they just chose not buy the shares, in the long run it seems like nintendo made a good decision, even though i would love to see new blast works.

I wouldn't won't Rare back unless it was the "dream" team they used to have. If they are not a part of it then only the properties to stay with Ninty as they may have been able to do a better job.

I completely agree

Rare was way better with nintendo it was the company that made new cool franchises but also knew how to revive known franchises and give them their own touch. I think that the rare that was with nintendo was one of the best VG companies ever.

If I'm not mistaken, the only game from Rare that I own is Starfox Adventures and I loved it to pieces. It was their last game for Nintendo was it not?
