It doesn't matter if they helped, whoever gets the main credit as the developer is the developer.

I said it was my opinion, I did like SSBM better than any Rare game, and thats me. And also, lets not forget Earthbound...they were also in full production of the N64 Earthbound...
Yeah, what makes your opinion any better than mine?

Also dont forget Silicon Knights, Eternal Darkness is awesome, and they're prolly working on Too Human now...which was first announced for the PSX in 1998, and also sounds very cool, from what info was revealed anyway. Plus theres also NST...well...meh.
Silicon Knights made one game for GCN that didn't even get as high of marks as The top 3 games Rare made for N64.

ANd dont say that Rare is better than Sega, Capcom or Namco. the RE series alone is better than any Rare game I've played IMO. Soul Calibur was WAY better than whats it called....Killer Instinct? I believe that was made by Rare...I could be wrong


First you say it's your opinion, then you tell me not to state mine? I could care less about comparing Rare to Sega, Capcom, or Nacmo. Although I think Rare is better than Nacmo and Capcom I see no point in comparing them. You guys are just turning on Nintendo's best 2nd party because they joined Microsoft.

Also I dont see why you are using IGN's opinions, there a tons of other sites that you could use, IGN's opinions never affect my decision to buy a game, if they dont like a game that I like then too bad for them....why dont you try combining scores from several sites, that will give a much better perspective...
Read what I posted right after I gave the scores.

EDIT: and one more thing...

Some other people were talking about Rare being a big part of Nintendo's sales in like...2000. Well guess what? Back in the day of N64 Nintendo had little to no third party support. Capcom only released like... 3 N64 games, by the end of this year, there will already be 3 Capcom games on GCN...and Sega has almost (or maybe more than) 10 games that will be out by this fall...
And? Little to none of the games Nintendo is getting from Sega, Nacmo, or Capcom is exclusive. They are either ports from older systems, or ports from other systems. Rare would have been exclusive, no ports, all for Nintendo, just like in the N64 days. Rare is probably the biggest reason N64 didn't flop.

Quote:
That is why Rare seemed to have a huge role in N64 game sales, but with other MUCH bigger developers stepping in, those sales wouldnt have been as good as before I dont think.
What FPS would out-sell Perfect Dark or Goldeneye??? Timesplitters?

Agent under fire?

Give me a break, Rare's game sales wouldn't have done any worse than they did on N64.
