Incredible points.
The Gamecube started off badly when Microsoft bought Rareware. Rare so badly wanted to stay with Nintendo, they gave them days to opt in with a bid but nothing
End result? Many of Rare leave to form other companies, Rare cans lots of projects, Rare even recently added to their website Nintendo 64 mp3's because they were highly demanded from old school fans... and who can blame them! The only real game Rare has released since the year or so its been with Microsoft is Grabbed by the Ghoulies... No further comment needed. If Rare had of stayed third party, the Gamecube would be raging with success i reckon. Id seen footage of the Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong Racing, and various other GC titles in production, and they all would have boosted the GC hugely... in Europe.
Titles like this may not have done so well in Japan because they have different tastes in games, in America and definately Europe, it would have been success story all the way! Nintendo of Europe bugged NoJ but got nowhere because of it *sniff* just what at what they could of achieved.
PS2 for GTA, Xbox for Halo, and NGC for Pefect Dark, Mario, and Zelda would have been the story, mario and zelda just dont work like they used to though anymore, especially kiddy zelda anyways
Oh No ive gone off into a rant about Rare. Well they deserved it, if i had a time travelling machine, id go back in time and slap everyone at NoE for not investing in Rare when they had the chance. Rant End.
