Okay but why say they haven't made a good home console game in the last 4 years... why not count Gruntilda's revenge.
In the last 4 years they've made a total of 3 home console games and one of them was Conker.
Nuff said.

You need to be realistic when talking about a RARE launch game... as you'll get one. Nintendo's proposed list looks like Too Human, Metroid Prime 2, Mario 128... and probably Smash Brothers.
That looks like one hell of a first party line up!

NGC stated this and the reason being that the standards are so high that there is a lot of pressure at the company to do a good job. So they leave for a less stressful, less long, unpaid hours etc...

Their last fantastic game was Gruntilda's revenge released about 4 months ago.

Teething problems? They haven't made a decent home console game for over four years.

Yup, if Banjo 3 is also done for release, it could just be the perfect release. Although if Nintendo does get Metroid Prime 2, Too Human and the other promised launch titles, it could be a close one.

Whats the point? If you are a games programmer/developer/artist whatever, why would you jump from one ship to another? Especially from Rare, a company with such a good track record!
I suppose companies like EA, Activision etc would wooo these people with unmissable financial packages and opportunities.

I prefer to think that the Xbox2 is going to be released with the most amazing line up of games ever seen.
