every character or game license that ninteno owned before rare is defently thiers... aka DK, SF. other games that rare published under nintendos name would have to be bought from nintendo... aka pd, bk conker.. etc.

at least thats how i understood it from IGN.

and as for that last post.... nintendo denies it? :hmm: or they just deny selling thier shares in it? which would mean MS would own some or most shares and nintendo owns the other 30 something percent?

hmmm. something fishie. There was something said on Planetgamecube that they suspect that Nintendo still would have a Contract with rare that not even MS could break. not sure what that would mean either tho

Hmm...well they could mean what Im about to say:

As I understand it from various stories and backround info (plus searching for old banjo kazooie boxes) Nintendo is handing over Rareware Ltd, but a seperate company that we ussualy call rareware, as Rare Ltd, is 100% owned by nintendo. Under Rare Ltd is all the licenses, which by default would be nintendo's. So even games like PD, and Kameo would belong to nintendo without forking that sector over also.

Or so it seems...

Hmm... this is getting weirder every day. Nintendo confirming AND denying it at the same time?? :hmm:

I would understand it if they let go Rare, but I was looking forward to PD0... :unsure:

And yeah, perhaps they could put Retro Studios on PD. Perhaps they'll be even more original...

I'm confused!

Somebody clear it up! End this madness!
