Nintendo already knows what they are doing.
Xbox, not X-Box

And nintendo gets some of that money too.


plus what DH said..... Would you really not want to buy a good game just because Rare gets money from it???

I prefer them to try and get more games.
Well, Rare is more than capible of getting them more games... on SNES Perfect Dark, Conker, and Banjo were unheard of. Dinosaur planet was unheard of too. Rare... unlike most of Nintendo's other 2nd parties, bumped out some origanal content for N64.

That fact alone makes Rare irreplaceable in my mind...

Now that microsoft has controll over Rare, they have controll over a company very much like Nintendo... unafraid to be creative. When Nintendo sold Rare they Sold thier best 2nd party as far as origanal content in the past... and maybe origanal content in the future.

PD sold more then 2,000,000 or something, and that was not even enough for Nintendo to maintain Rare.
Imagine if Games like Conker, DK, and Perfect dark weren't used to promote the expansion pack. I'm positive the sales would have doubled. But that didn't happen, instead that 2,000,000 perfect Dark owners paid $90 for the game ($59.99 for game, $29.99 for the expansion pack).

Nintendo seemed to forget about that when they made that press release... lets add up the sales of expansion packs and Rare's Pre-Zelda:MM games. That will show what they are worth a lot better than just the game sales.

well for one...Nintendo gets more profit out of SFA than Rare, so why the hell would you saying that? And SFA looks sweet anyway.

and, a petition wouldnt work anyway, some people are acting like this is Nintendo's biggest mistake, well it isn't.
