Rare was proven talent, that made MANY AAA titles, as will as took older Nintendo franchises and translated them into 3-D flawlessly (DK64 anyone?).
Actually, I'll pass on DK64. It was a terrible game.

Overall, the quality of SK is debatable, and it is still yet unknown who had the stronger footing in this decision. I mean, seriously, they may have been second party, but you have no idea what type of stock Nintendo had in them, which means that they may not have had a choice.
One of the reasons everyone loved SK is because of the potential in the developer. Eternal Darkness had an
incredible story and Metal Gear Solid was remade with incredible detail. The president Denis Dyack was an incredible guy who actually listened to his fans (as shown by his visiting of these and many other online boards and his openness to interviews).
On a side note to KDR: GameRankings is heavily based on IGN's users' wishlists and IGN's news. Now, I'm not saying you can't trust it. You just can't trust it completely.
