>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.

Also makes PCsnoys seethe because it's better than all their shitty Doom clones.

Nobody pretends rare wasn't important to the N64

>>723779137 (OP)
Espionage kino.

>>723779271
But 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

Diddy Kong Racing 2 and Perfect Dark 2 would've easily cleared those two shitters in sales.

>>723779565
I'm not interested in how somebody made you mad in a different thread

>>723779682
I'm not interested in fags like you either so I think we both win.

>>723779808
Fine by me. Can you go back to /vr/ now or do you still have 25 year old scores to settle.

for without qustion it was a pastas finale.. and a change to styule

>>723779565
>>Metroid Prime - 2.84 million
That number is counting the metroid trilogy re-release on wii. On gamecube it barely cracked 1.5 million sold by 2006.

What's wrong with his mouth?

Anyone who knows enough to have an opinion would never say they weren't. Everyone else assumes Rare games are just Nintendo

>>723780096
OH NO NO NO NO

>>723780126
There's a lot of Spongebob watching, Fairly Oddparents gooning basedlennials who never played a RARE game besides MAYBE Starfox Adventure.

Rare had some of the best NES games too.

>>723780096
OH NO NO NO NO

>>723780126

>>723780245
Well yeah. We're discussing retro game enthusiasts at this point.

>>723780096
That's almost good enough to be the best selling Dreamcast game

>>723780335
They also dominated the mid 90s until mario 64 landed. The SNES came bundled with mario world while mario allstars was given away more than it was sold. The system seller for SNES was SF2 in the early years, and DKC for its best years. Rare absolutely carried SNES in their war against genesis.

>>723779137 (OP)
Woah James Bond the huge international franchise did well, inconceivable! I played that game through recently and it absolutely blows. Tendies must have been desperate for games because this and Perfect Dark were just meh. Is it the feeling of fighting with that ugly ass controller that got them all excited?

>>723780806
>Woah James Bond the huge international franchise did well, inconceivable

No James Bond has performed as well as this one, which is why EA and Activision both tried going back to the well on it.

The last best selling Bond game was Nightfire -- on the PS2, obviously, as nobody was playing games on the Gaycube.

>>723779565
Metroid prime has nothing whatsoever to do with Rare leaving, retard

>>723780953
No shit retard? Retro Studios was Nintendo coping hard after losing RARE, but Tendies act like it was no big loss when nobody was fucking buying Metroid Prime.

>>723780930
Who could imagine that the sales of James Bond games would slump after the peak of Goldeneye! Followed by two shitty movies and a shitty reboot that isn’t Bond (though the one with Mads was ok for his presence alone)

They made a decent FPS Bond game around the time of Quantum of Solace but apparently nobody bought it because Bond was so unpopular by that point. No gadgets as it was Nu-Bond lol

>>723781284
You're over-estimating the appeal of Bond.

>>723781184
>after losing RARE
the receipts are fully public anon, nintendo didn't "lose" rare, they didn't want them. they had literal first dibs to buy them but saw the writing on the wall with Dinosaur planet that all of rare's talent evaporated at the start of the 6th gen. Retro has absolutely nothing to do with that.

You say Rare
I say Ultimate Play The Game

>>723781519
Yes we know Nintendo likes to cut off their nose to spite their face.

>but saw the writing on the wall with Dinosaur planet

You mean they saw a good game they couldn't make on their shitty hardware? (Again)

What is also publicly known is that Mario 64 was poorly programmed and that people have since gotten better framerate out of the base hardware by just changing the code.

>>723781423
Yes the franchise where half the films adjusted for inflation would make just under a billion is overestimated lol

The only problem with Bond’s appeal is the stupid studio sank it multiple times, so it had to be brought back into relevance again. Considering the films that proceeded it, Goldeneye really was gold

>>723779137 (OP)
>one kid with a copy of Goldeneye and 3/4 controllers basically negated the desire for their friends to get their own N64 consoles

I'm sure Nintendo wasn't thrilled about that.

>>723781774
But Nintendo themselves made the console with four ports (not that most games on the Shitendo 64 even used them)

Also you could say that about Mario Kart 64 couldn't you? (One of the most soulless Nintendo games ever made btw and look at how Diddy Kong Racing brutally mogged it)

>>723781638
>You mean they saw a good game
no i mean they saw Dinosaur planet, nothing about it was a "good game".
>What is also publicly known is that Mario 64 was poorly programmed and that people have since gotten better framerate out of the base hardware by just changing the code.
Is it supposed to impressive that people can spend 30 years improving the code of a game that was written in like 2?

>>723781865
Coping Tendie 64 moment.

>>723781856
Every console with 4 ports underperformed. Mart Kart 64 wasn't a killer app but they did do it to themselves later with Melee on the GCN.

>>723779137 (OP)
Sir, we had this thread yesterday, do you have anything more fresh?

>>723779210
This, especially. There was no "PC supremacist" attitude amoung FPS devs, they all massively respected Rare's games and saw them as an advancement of the medium that they ought to be competing against by improving their own games and replicating the good qualities of these titles in theirs.

The idea that there's supposed to be this fundamental divide where PC games are for some elite and console games are just cut down trash versions of things is post factum delusion invented by people who took a joke by Yahtzee too seriously.

>>723779137 (OP)
Going from the 64 to the shitcube was the biggest downgrade in gaming history. Thank god I bought a PS2 shortly after and didn't become a trooned out cubie faggot.

Why hasn't it received a remaster and rerelease?

>>723784232
It has and you would've played it on Xenia already if you weren't a secondary.

>Anyone who pretends RARE wasn't important in the history of Nintendo
Literally no one has ever said this. Stop making up fake arguments to win, fag

>>723784496
Tendies cope hard about the dire library of the Gamecube though.

>>723780930
>im still mad i never had friends
Aww poor baby. Did you know people still own GameCubes and have three friends over to play with? You're still a pissy unpleasant clown that nobody likes. That sucks.

rare has always been shit and it's good to see it die a miserable undignified death under kikosoft management while their insufferable dysgenic millenial fanbase can only seethe about nintendo for some reason

gamecube is the easiest sell to get people over for "old game night". Buddy and I are almost done a playthrough of Baldur's gate dark alliance and next weekend I'm doing a proper 4 player run of 4 swords adventures for the first time

I don't know any gay pedophile trans rapists so none of my friends would be interested in this.

>>723791594
I played Dark Alliance 2 coop on the PS2. Sorry cubie.

>>723791962
I own a copy of that but sony being what they are, none of my ps2s will read the thing any more. Nintendo, besides leading the pack in first party software, had god tier hardware up until the switch. I've gone through hundreds of dollars worth of moder xbox, sony and switch controllers yet my 35 year old nes works fine.

I genuinely feel bad for poor families who only had one console. I feel like it this "gang mentality" certain thirty year olds have is misdirected frustration and jealousy from childhood

RARE didn't win. Nintendo didn't win. Microsoft didn't win.

What's the lesson here?

>>723779137 (OP)
idk why goldeneye gets all the nostalgia when perfect dark was 100% a better game in every aspect and felt like the goldeneye they actually wanted to make without a release date crunch

>>723794593
Because it's older. Same reason the first Donkey Kong Country gets more nostalgiafagging than the sequels.

>>723779137 (OP)
Rare was important for nintendo, they got by fine without them. golden eye is overrated and hasnt aged well, luigis mansion has aged better.
