How XBoxers (or XBox fanboys) are going so hyper and psycho about this Rare thing. Just look at the name of this forum for one. Just goes to show they didn't have anything else to celebrate about before now, huh? Now they're celebrating about having one of Nintendo's key developers, which they've insulted so much in the past.

I would have to agree. I would also probably mention how the Nintendo fanboys are reacting is as equally pathetic and hilarious to watch. They are now completely denouncing and ridiculing the same company that just a few months ago was being hailed by them as one of the greatest video game companies of all time. My opinion on the whole matter basically equals up to that of Mercury Crusader's, who recently posted in the System Wars forum a similar message to this one, which can be found here(I'd post a link to the thread, but I'm too lazy to go and find it again).

It's funny...

That you, a Nintendo fanboy, can find the time to let everyone know that you are deeply disturbed by the fact that Nintendo's best developer has left Nintendo to join your archenemy, the company that is trying to take over the world, Microsoft.

I'm assuming that post was directed towards Lupus, so...

And of course MS is trying to take over the world. Bill Gates is, in reality, Hitler's son, and is trying to follow in his father's footsteps. The only way to stop his conquest of the technological world is for Ted Turner to colorize and transform the meddling kid into a solid gold statue.

This isn't about Microsoft's fifth acquisition. This is about: who's next and after that and after that? Microsoft has money, and they're not afraid to use it. (I am curious as to when Rare was insulted by Xbox fanboys, though.)

Its funny...

How you immediately classified me as a Nintendo fanboy just because I'm against Microsoft. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You make yourself look like a fanboy by just saying things like that.

I only posted this as a response to this forum's name. It proves my point ten fold.

Nintendo's best developer? I'm not crying. Sure, their games were good, but I'm not going to go and cry. I think it was stupid of Nintendo, but there you have it.

You actually care enough about Nintendo losing Rare to post about it, so you must be a Nintendo fanboy.

Yes...? Are you suggesting they were not?

You ARE a nintendo fanboy. You HATE the xbox. You went OUT of you're way to post here and try to make fun of thos ewho happen to like it. Your response to the forum name is a misinterpretation. I love all my rare game on the n64 and snes. I have gradually come to dislike nintendo's marketing strategy, choice of gaming, and, the ultimate sin, CELDA. They've turned zelda into a game that "I'll rent first and then see if I like it" from "It's zelda, it's good."

You are crying. can tell. Actually, I think they WERE the best 2nd/1st party developer. The only superb exclusives. Sega is a 3rd party that develops exclusives on different consoles. Tell me, who made the best shooter on the ng4 and sony's only competition at the time? Tell me, when Nintendo was in desperate needs of games in the early days of the n64, who created their best games? Tell me, when nintendo was surrounded by Sony coming into the market and the sega saturn's launch, what game, developed by who, kept em alive?

If I hated the Playstation/Sony and XBox/Microsoft, THEN I would be a Nintendo fanboy. Obviously you're too wrapt up in calling anybody who disses "your" system a fanboy that you forgot to interpret that rather large detail...?

And the only reason you dislike the "ultimate sin" Celda is because of the graphics. Shows you XBoxers think alike.

YOU THINK they are the best 1st/2nd party developer. We're different, as I've already proved.

Rare.

Nintendo.

A mix of the above said.

That doesn't prove a point. Come back with some real evidence.

Which internal team, aside from Nintendo itself (and even then, it's arguable) can beat Rare?

You forgot to add Retro Studios to that list.

You can't even judge Retro Studios since they've only made one game that's not even out yet. Their only mistake so far is turning Metroid into a first-person shooter... but from what I've seen they've worked wonders with it.

Paper Mario makes Intelligent Systems better than Rare? SSB makes Hal better than Rare? Am I missing something here? Maybe I should start counting Mario Paint, Fire Emblem, Kirby, and Pokemon Stadium, and it might make more sense.

I thought the Retro comment made perfect sense.

Advance Wars. Metroid Fusion. Kirby Super Star. All three of those rank up with some of Rare's best work.
