Title: Rare becomes 3rd Party
Post by: Opus on May 01, 2002, 08:11:42 PM

I've heard rumors on this.  If anyone has any actual info post it here.  I heard that Rare's contract has expired with Nintendo and now they are not bound to one another.  There is an IGN subscription only news story on their site.  I would like to know what it says.  Thanks... please reply!

That's some pretty distressing news. If that actually happens, then we'll be all out of Perfect Dark games and the Donkey Kong Country games (Rare has the liscence to the Donkey Kong Country games)!

Rare is a very good game developer. I put them right at the top with Nintendo (since they are owned by Nintendo...for now anyway).
