It would make more sense of 'that' Xmas card (presumably they'd have known about it some time ago).

But let's not jump to conclusions!

Nintendo own quite a percentage of Rare already so I doubt it's true.....I hope not anyway...

It's not like they're being bought to be a second party for anyone else, so I don't care.

Though I doubt Activision would buy them, because, wellActivision can't be THAT well off, and Nintendo own most of Rare's kit, so they'd have to put an awful lot of funding into it.

"Buy out" would mean buying Nintendo's share, obviously - so that may be irrelevant.

It's all a lie.

Konami has bought Rare, Nintendo has bought Microsoft and I bought a microwaveable kebab from the garage.

It was excellent

A pants kebab?

What would you know anyway, only a few months ago you were saying that Rare were making a Rocky game for the PS2.

;-P
