It's not like they're already changing the face of GC, is it. You'll probably still get Starfox and Perfect Dark. As for the rest, we haven't heard much of them yet anyway, so they won't be missed that much.

It's the truth.

NINTENDO SOLD THEIR 49% TO RARE

Then maybe Nintendo decided to buy the other 51%?

Elite Chaos, read carefully...


NINTENDO HAVE SOLD THEIR 49% STAKE IN RARE TO MICROSOFT! FACT!!

>Ahem<

However, this does NOT mean Starfox will be the last Rare game on Gamecube. Nintendo actually owns trademarks to titles like Perfect Dark and THIS is why no companies have confirmed anything. But trust me, the stuff in capitals is true. :)

At the end of MarioKart, in the credits say, 'DK courtosy of Rare'

So do Rare own DK or not!?!

Explain...

Wow, this topic is popular. I posted and saw another 3 or 4 replies.
Anyway...
My top 4 most wanted games...

1. Super Mario Sunshine
2. Starfox Adventures
3. Animal crossing (Sounds real good from what I've heard)
4. Mario Kart GC
Plus a heap more. I don't really want any other Rare games until Perfect Dark. Well anyway we can always hope...

Btw does anyone no how to turn overwrite off? It's really starting to tick (lol) me off.

No. Starfox still goes through.

It's the last Nintendo-Rare game.

Oh so no-one really cares? Your joking. Rare were the secxond best developers for the N64. And they were looking to do just as good. If this is all true then Starfox Adventures could be canncelled. Why?
Because Nintendo own the Starfox licence. Chances are they wouldn't be happy about Rare joining the dark side... Soooo they take Starfox back. There goes adventures.

Anyway lets hope this isn't really real...

*da da da It's creeping up slowly. Ack! silly song refenerences!* (You know that song?)
