Oh great, why don't they announce Conker's Other Bad Fur Day for the X-Box while they're at it so I can add the X-Box to my must have list?

Hm, I don't understand why Nintendo would turn down renewing their 49% ownership of rare, when it was them that brought new life to DK and gave the 64 one of its greatest hits. But I guess in addition to the good they have the bad. The constant delay of Conker wasn't that appealing(although we probably got a better game with BFD than what we would have gotten with twisted tales).
Well maybe no more rare means that Miyamoto might make a new DK game himself.
Sorry to get off-track, but I have a very minor rant.
(warning this rant consists of bad grammar and might not make sense due to me being incredibly tired)
Although I enjoy the secondary Mario games(tennis, golf, party) is it me or is Nintendo kinda getting lazy as a first party. As far as I know Miyamoto is the big wig of Nintedo game developing. Other than him there is no big people I can name. There was the Metroid guy(forgot name) who I believe also made the gameboy(or Virtual Boy?), however I believe he died a while back. While you look at SEGA they you see Naka, Suzuki, and the multiple teams. I think Nintendo needs to get MORE people under their belt.
(I guess that is the end of my rant, unless I wake up tommorow with something to add)

Yes, they can make the next BFD and screw it up...Rare is far better at making games than Nintendo IMO
That would be hard to argue outside FPS and/or mature titles...

yeah and in my opinion Nintendo is better at making Metroid games then Retro Studio... such is life!
Have you played the new Metroid? Might I have seen you at E3? :P It's an impressive game, I only hope they'll have alternate/configurable control schemes. It does keep it pretty real though, in terms of keeping the spirit of the source material.

Errr... have you heard of Iwata or Tezuka? And just because you don't see or hear of people doesn't mean they're not there. Nintendo is also consistently among the top software publishers in terms of sales for any given year (if not THE top), nobody comes close in terms of quality or quantity of first party output. Remember, Sega has no console of its own to support now.
There's also Yamauchi's relatively new idea of investing money in new outside talent (like Game Designer's Studio, handling the new FFTactics). To be blunt... you need to get informed, yo.
Those late-night tired rants are tricky though. I admit Mario Sunshine wasn't all I would have liked it to be, but Miyamoto has a more hands-on role in the new Zelda.
Anyway, from what I've read the deal hasn't been officially confirmed (though it's very likely). It's no surprise, really. I'm just going to look forward to Rare's next FPS on the Xbox, and let Conker go. That ending was not very satisfying was it. : /

For me it just sound like a big rumor, because like it was said Nintendo go 49% part in rareware and they won't sale it.
And so far rareware is still programmig for nintendo, 4 games are in works: starfox adventure, donkey kong racing, perfect dark 2, and banjo kazooie3.
Anyway maybe I will heard more of this when I'll be back from the Tokyo game show.^_^
Aaaahh, Naruto, if this were only an isolated rumor, but no, this has been in the air for months.
It's very probable that MS will announce in the X02 or whatever the fair is called the swallowing of Rare.
Personally, I think it's sad, because Rare has given me some great moments, such as DKC, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing (This one was surprisingly good), Golden Eye or Perfect Dark, but in the other hand it's now when Rare can leave Nintendo. If they had left in the N64 era, Nintendo would have been screwed, now, it has Sega, Namco Square, Capcom... It's more balanced.
However... Damn you Micro$oft!!
CAAAAABALLEROS DEL ZODIAAAAAACOOOO CUAAANDO LANZAN SU ATAAAAAAAQUE....!
