Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo and Rare

Rare is worthless.
Taking the NES/SNES days into account is unacceptable. Even TECMO had good games that long ago. Woohoo... they gave us a revolutionary FPS on the N64. That was yesterday- what have they done for us today? Free Radical is a more than worthy successor. TimeSplitters 2 is out. I don't even know why I'm still hearing about GoldenEye anymore.
"Rare are one of the greatest developers in the gaming industry" because of GoldenEye, Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie?
.....
Perfect Dark is practically a GoldenEye expansion, and... Banjo Kazooie? WTF. I can't believe that title has been mentioned so frequently in Rare's defense- It's COMPLETELY RETARDED.
I'm SO glad Nintendo ditched them... a few less pre-teen, ill-conceived, outdated franchises for me to weed through in the GameCube aisle.
By the way, "9 out of 10" isn't a legitimate statistic... it's a figure of speech, no different from you saying that "Many of us would argue that DOA: Beach Volleyball is overrated, but I bet it was more anticipated than Animal Crossing, Pikmin or Eternal Darkness" (at least Synthetic's assumption was sensible... anyone who was more excited about DOA Volleyball than Animal Crossing, Pikmin or Eternal Darkness is f*cking stupid).
