I am not laughing at Rare, Rare were my third favourite company and my first favourite company kicked 'em out to you guys. Oh no I'm laughing at the fact that Microsoft expect Rare to release 5 games in 2 years....
Trust me it won't happen.

Ah! That's different. That's because the PS2 was genuinely a pig to devellop for. Wondered why Dreamcast games initially out-did PS2 ones?
There you go.

Wouldn't rate it high on reliability though.
Rare helped DESIGN the Gamecube and ensured that it had the hardware they wanted. Possibly an opinion of a single coder.
Anyway, it's only after Nintendo refused to buy them out that Rare went crawling to Microsoft. Not that it's anything bad against Microsoft, but they weren't Rare's first choice. :-)

What Semajal means is that MS aren't the experts of game design that Nintendo are and won't be able to support Rare in the same way.
I personally think that Rare don't need that sort of support anymore.
All they need is technical support to get used to the Xbox hardware (something which MS CAN provide), and then the rest is up to them.

Microsoft don't have anything to offer to Rare but money? Erm.. Nope I don't think Microsoft got where they are today because of money alone.
The "old" Rare that left, weren't part of the Jet Force Gemini devellopment team.
The N64 game was brilliant, although had a couple of slight flaws which prevented it from being a Goldeneye topping classic, but could easily be rectified for an N64 sequel, let alone a next gen one!

Nethertheless, Nintendo are still making a lot of money from the sales of these SNES ports, and they're obviously selling! Super Mario World is at the top of the sales charts this week for Game Boy Advance, and all that is is a SNES port.
