>Sells 8 million copies (that's even more copies than Melee on Gaycube, which is the consoles best selling game period)
>Not even a pack in
>Even without the license, Perfect Dark sells more copies than genuine Nintendo made crap like Kirby 64 and Paper Mario

Anyone who pretends RARE wasn't important in the history of Nintendo is a Cuber tendie who paid $50 for the two hour rental fodder that is Luigi's Mansion.

Right, Rare and Nintendo actually had a head start on console shooters, yet they totally squandered it. Microsoft also squandered PD. I think they should have made a PC/Xbox version of Perfect Dark for 2000 (it was published by Rare themselves so they woudln't need Nintendo's permission).

Alternatively, Nintendo buys Rare outright, and makes PD gaems as their new series for the Gamecube onwards. 4 player PD on the Cube?

This game is trash btw.

Perfect Dark 2 and Diddy Kong Racing 2 would've cleared anything Nintendo had planned (or actually released).

Also cubies pretend Metroid Prime is some monumental gamechanger worth losing RARE for, but that shit barely sold any copies

>Metroid Prime - 2.84 million
>Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - 1.10 million

Goldeneye was awesome back then, but the game didn't really age well. It was just a novelty because first person shooters weren't a thing back then yet, plus the game had cool environments and followed the movie story line.

Rare was extremely important for N64.
Nintendo had multiple gems of their own but without Rare the system would have been very barren.

I recently played the 360 remake (not the shitty port) and it's still GOATed you tastelet

Still waiting for the day when I wake up on the correct timelime and can play Jet Force Gemini 2 on my Nintendo Pyramid

Where the hell were you hanging out and flinging shit to encounter losers who argue that RARE "wasn't important in the history of Nintendo"?

>Not even a pack in
yeah it was. goldeneye gets some credit for doing cool fps stuff instead of being a doom clone but unreal, half life and thief all came out 1 year later and absolutely annihilate it from history which is why nobody bought the recent re-release they put out

>PAL version

Basically inconsequential because NA never got that pack in bundle.

Goldeneye fucking sucks and it always sucked. Even back in the 90s 8 year old me saw the shitty frame rate and low resolution and found it nearly unplayable. Fucking babby's first FPS and you've all got rose tinted glasses on

You didn't see anything back then, zoomie.

I like it more than Half-Life myself
