I did a quick google search, found a site that had a mention of it, and then hopped between many different sites with the links given in the article to find the original source, and every time I hopped, it was the same story at a different site that said "click here for the main article". I finally got to a dead end that didn't say anything about the quote in this article, but here it is anyways:

Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, and Grabbed by the Ghoulies were especially  awful. They have gone from one of the best devs to very mediocre.  Viva Pinata was decent though.

I agree with this, actually. Not Rare as they are, but Rare as they were. N64-era Rare especially seemed to know exactly what this so-called "Western Core Gamer" wanted, and if they were still producing like they were, it could handily round out Nintendo's offerings

But i say wait and see, especially watch the 3rd party games that are coming, as well as whatever Retro Studios and Monolith are up to. Between Retro and Monolith, they could fill out a lot of deficiencies, and the 3rd parties are beginning to see the gaps in the console as opportunities (like SEGA's big 3, or Capcom with Monster Hunter, or EA, or the rumored game coming from Konami)

Rare? Surely you jest.

I have yet to see a Nintendo "core" gamer missing Rare. Rare had some nice games but must of them were very niche and quickly forgotten. And honestly, Nintendo doesn't need Rare at all. In any case, it should be the inverse.

And please, you would never please the core no matter what games you give. Stop making assumptions that aren't right or out of reality.

Why people keep saying that the Wii "needs" HD when it has being demonstrated over and over again that it doesn't need it at all?!

HD is the future not the present. In 4 years it will be necessary but right now it isn't.

And Nintendo is not the kind of company that "buys" exclusives like Microsoft does. And I think that's fine. That 3d parties are incompetent is not Nintendo's fault at all.

I think what the OP meant to say was that Nintendo is missing the Rare that we all knew and loved.

I never really cared about Rare so them not making games for Nintendo is nothing to me. I have always been pleased by what Nintendo has to offer anything that comes from other developers is only a plus but a not needed plus!

     Were you pleased to only get Animal Crossing and Wii Music from Nintendo last Christmas?

People keep mentioning it because so far (according to this site) over 50 million gamers (combined 360/PS3 sales) like to play HD games - therefore while the Wii doesn't need it to sell well it also cannot please all gamers without it.

^And yet wii keeps outselling the HD twins every month.
