This is the funniest thread at the moment.
It's great seeing everybody turn against Rare. Justin is right.
And I admit, I will miss Rare. But I realise now that Rare had some problems the last years. If they didn't, they would have had released quite a few games by now. I don't know what's going on there, but apperantly Nintendo did, and decided they weren't profitable anymore.
Too bad we'll never see any Rare games on the GC anymore. But hopefully some developer will make Killer Instinct 3 (it's not Soul Calibur, it's different, more variation in characters I think) and Perfect Dark 0/2. I never cared about Banjo-Kazooie.
Just a thought: what will happen if Rare, Microsoft and Nintendo announce that nothing of it all was true?? Would we all be happy to have Rare and start telling how good they are??
