I've heard that Donkey Kong franchise is going back to Nintendo mother brain(two new DK games developed by Rare are being canceled) and all 'cos Rare is going multiplatform. I think, in my modest opinion that's not such a bad idea to start with. Didy Kong racing and Donkey Kong 64 were less than spectacular on N64 but not totally bad games , more like only so-so.
Rare couldn't make an interesting or decent looking game mascot to save their lifes. Talk about some questionable character design. All characters in Banyo Kazooe(Kablooe by some) look like Dysney rejectes at best. Anyway back to subject I just hope Nintendo will make some decent DK games, it being one of the oldest game franchise in video game history. Now remember
this is only a hear-say so if anyone has any info...
D.K.-Donkey Kong, D.K.-Donkey Kong,..... if he shots ya it gota hurt.........monkey rap.. la la la (not in that order but somthing like that) Anyway I love that song. It ooooozzzeees with style.

Oh thats right, no one cares about Mario, thats only the reason Mario Sunshine sells more copies than precious Halo.

What about Mario? But I also think Rare are a big part of the GameCube's future success. What are you talking about anyway? Nintendo WANT Rare to stay.

You're forgetting that Metroid Prime is a true first person shooter, with that bit of Nintendo variety and innovation added in.

It's about who's more crucial to the GameCube and on the whole, make the best games. In that respect, Nintendo win.

I don't know what to think anymore. I think, as you said it, Nasty boy
that Rare is absolute peak of FPS genre in buissnes, as far as consoles are
concerned. And as such, maybe they are tryng to earn alota greens by making
those games for more mature consoles(seen by the eye of the beholder) rather then for 'four year old kid friendly' image Nintendo's aproach. So if they think that the true potential of selling more of those FPS(obviuosly targeted at 16+ gamers) games is going over to Sony and stupid X-box(losers) than it's not for me to say. Would you rather seen them going bankropt. Or maybe they could smell Nintendo's demise and they are trying to leave a sinking ship(rats) just in time. The future will tell.

Depends what games you are on about, rare are brill at FPS and nintendo dont even really make a true one (MP isnt just FPS), but nintendo are good at orginallity when rare use the same sort of genre but add new things and make them but than others beofre them.

So really it depends what games you like, or you can decide on adventue types as nintendo has mario and rare has banjo, then yes i would agree with the adventure that nintendo is the best, but with the other id go for rare.

Nintendo could be making money out of PS2 and Xbox games?
There's an interesting thought...
