So much shitposting and misinformation going in this thread. Here's what really happened.
Nintendo is the villain here. Nintendo hated Rare. Nintendo did not want Rare to make Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Jet Force, etc. Nintendo did not want Rare making original games. Instead Nintendo wanted Rare to support them with their own IP's and other projects. Hence, https://www.ign.com/articles/1999/05/07/mickey-for-n64-dolphin
>"Nintendo announced today that it will be publishing approximately 13 Disney-licensed Mickey Mouse-based games across Nintendo 64, Color Game Boy and its next-generation hardware, codenamed Project Dolphin. The games, set to arrive during the holiday seasons of 1999, 2000 and 2001, will be developed by none other than Rare"
Yeah. Nintendo forced 13 fucking Mickey Mouse games on Rare. The people at Rare absolutely hated this. They were already falling behind with their other projects yet had to make 13 Mickey Mouse games because Daddytendo said so. Rare was running into finacial difficulties at the time and was trying to pressure Nintendo into buying the rest of share and fully absolving them into Nintendo. Nintendo did not want this, they wanted Rare to be an exclusive Nintendo developer and force projects onto them, but did not want to invest any money whatsoever. Then along comes Microsoft who says, "we will give you all the money you need and you can develop whatever you want, no more fucking 13 mickey mouse games". You'd have to be a fucking dipshit not to take that deal. Nintendo had no problem letting Rare go as they were falling behind on their Gamecube projects which left a very dry launch period for the system. Nintendo is the one who forced financial troubles onto Rare, Nintendo was the one who refused to invest in Rare, Nintendo is the villain in this story and it's really retarded how people still continue to blame Microsoft for Nintendo not giving a fuck.
