It seems like Rare has been a little bit more productive with the 360.

I don't think Nintendo helped too much with Rare's games except for maybe with Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing.
Well it was mid generation I think as they had already released Star Fox Adventures and Kameo and DK Racing was demoed on the 'Cube.

I think Nintendo helped out Rare more than most people would think, but Rare isn't completely useless, but I haven't been a fan of theirs this generation aside from Kameo.

Nuts and Bolts was not what I expected at all, and I know it was a launch title but Perfect Dark Zero was just so weak.
