Did you read the interview, Seven?
She didn\'t confirm or deny anything.. she simply stated that Rare\'s relationship with Nintendo hadn\'t changed, and that Rare enjoys working on the GCN/GBA. Let\'s just say she didn\'t flat-out deny the possibility.. but didn\'t hint towards it.
Yes, I read it - and it\'s pretty clear what she said wasn\'t it?
She doesn\'t rule out the possibility of Rare working on other hardware. That\'s all I said. Now, the relationship might have not changed, but
[list=1]
- We don\'t know the internal ongoings between the two.
- this is speculation
- this is said by a Nintendo spokesperson, I wouldn\'t have expected to hear anything different.
So if Nintendo
really doesn\'t know what Rare is up to, I wonder how good their relationship really is. It could also just be that Nintendo knows something, but doesn\'t want to go public with it just yet.
Now IMO, I am sure the relationship between Nintendo and Rare is fine, but that both could benefit by porting some games to other platforms. Something like the Square Nintendo deal so to speak. Since Rare is owned by Nintendo big deal anyway (just like Square Sony) this might be quite likely.
Cheer up Blade, even if Rare was to port some games, I doubt it would hurt Nintendo in anyway. ;)
