We are all worried about the possible loss of RARE, but why is a mystery to me. Rare make platformers and FPS mainly, now Retro are with Nintendo there is no need for Rare as nintendo make platformers. I know thats besides the point but if we Perfect Dark was mult we still have the exclusive metroid.
So despite RARE's popularity the loss of them won't be a huge blow (ok yes it will but not as bad as you think). The loss of Left Field was far worse, Camelot make a few Nintendo sports titles... Mario Tennis and Golf spring to mine and despite the sim like play they aren't exactly EA or SEGA esq sport games. Well Nintendo acquired Silicon Knights to fill in the horror gap and Left Field to fill in the sports ones. As a Second Party Left Field's first game as a NBA game for the N64. Their second was a far more successful Excitebike, yet despite the praise it recieved Nintendo didn't like it. Left Field were obviously annoyed by this, Nintendo are very blunt when they don't like things. They didn't like Jet Force Gemini (which is great) and so they said it and they didn't like anything Retro Stuido's were doing and so they said it. Harsh and brutal but these companies can take it and so Left Field went out of their way to prove to Nintendo they can do it (which we all know they can). NBA courtside will be released this Friday along with Smash Brothers and again is an excellent game.
But Nintendo didn't like it and basically told Left Field to take a hike and that they won't be renewing their second party ties. Left Field were down, they were called nothing more than a third party. So Nintendo gamers who liked Left Field felt Nintendo overreacted. Despite underated this company is more important than RARE as it offers titles Nintendo don't make. Well after the brutal ending of their relationship with Nintendo left Field fell quiet, until now. Left Field hooked up with Infogramme and are bringing a new game to Nintendo Gamecube, an American football game with a difference aimed at the younger audience. What a company told they were crap and had to go but still come back with title after title for Nintendo. That's loyalty.
