I’ll never understand how ”the one guy who mattered” who was allegedly someone from Nintendo, somehow they were able to trump Activision, EON and MGM, in to stopping a release of a game they no longer had legal rights to?
I mean, why didn’t they stop Banjo Kazooie and Conker from being put on Xbox? They were as much “Nintendo games coming out on a Microsoft console” as Goldeneye, right?
@Ravenmaster Wrong, Rare’s quality was waning and it was showing, so when Rare put themselves up for sale, Nintendo who had first dibs on them, decided to let them go instead.
And it’s taken the studio, now in name only, over decade to come out with a half decent game, since the MS purchase.
