Rare vs Nintendo

I am subjectively biased here. But I think during the SNES and N64 era, Rareware had better games. What does everything else think?
I see that Rare had better graphics and better music. More variety of characters! I mean you don't see them use Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong ten times over. :parry:

It's difficult to say, because I think Nintendo and Rare worked very well together during that time, but I'll go with Rare.

Ok! I've been trying to figure this out, but what do you think is Rareware's best N64 release? Is it Diddy Kong Racing or Banjo-Kazooie? I'm leaning towards the latter, what do you think? :parry:

Between those two, I'd say Banjo-Kazooie, since I've only ever played Diddy Kong Racing DS. Personally, Goldeneye and Donkey Kong 64 are rather impressive as well.

I agree, DK64 and Goldeneye 007 were both great games. I just think Diddy Kong Racing is a very fun and cute game! I'm curious, did Rareware do Starfox Adventures 64? Or was that Nintendo. :parry:

Star Fox 64 was developed by Nintendo. No Rare involvement with that game.

Starfox Adventures did start out as a Rare game called Dinosaur Planet, however.
