Hmm I could say 'Star Fox' here, but I know they didn't 'steal' it from Nintendo. But neither did HAL. Anyway that's not the topic.
I like Rare, they've made some super games. But now I'm starting to wonder how much of that was thanks to Nintendo. I mean, Shigeru Miyamoto is in most of the credits of Rare games (I think...)!! With Miyamoto, anyone can make good games! (ehm

)
And Justin, how can you say that Rare is better than Nintendo?? So IGN rated the 7 best N64 Rare games better than the 7 best Nintendo games. You know that Nintendo has made a lot more games, plus the games on the GameBoys. And now on the Cube!! How can you say that Rare is better???
