Its all opinions, I dont like Rare, and thats me. I ve only owned 5 Rare games, 3 on SNES, 2 on N64...which one was a major dissapointment (DK64). SFA looks awesome, and since Kameo has not even been playable by IGN or anyone else, I wont judge it. But really though, IMO, this is in no way a major blow to Nintendo, with Sega and Capcom support (SOnic, RE, PSo, Monkey Ball etc.), and plus Namco developing an original SF shooter, Rare is not needed, Capcom, Sega, and Namco can come up with more good games than Rare ever could. even if they still were Nintnedo 2nd party, I doubt I would buy any of their games other than SFA, but then again, thats an opinion...some might say Rare is good others say no, but I will never see why this will hurt Nintendo in any way.

Also...IMO..HAL is Nintendo's best 2nd party...I mean like come on, SSBM, SSB, Kirby, Pokemon on GBC.... they didnt make many games compared to Rare, but the SSB games and the Pokemon RPG ones a FAR better than anything Rare can do IMO
