Nintendo fans are a bunch of bitter betties and have been trying to downplay the quality of Rare's old games because that's what people are nostalgic for now with the n64.

I would suggest they play Mario 64 because it isn't a joyless spreadsheet of a game.

For the Racing Aspect yes it was, the battle mode left abit to be desired where as MK's battle mode was perfect.

It's definitely underrated. I preferred MK64's multiplayer at least but DKR has the better single player campaign.

logigun was one of the underrated hits of 2014, imo. it had some impressive puzzle design overall, and i think the story was very cute.

DKC1 is good but largely overrated in the grand scheme of things. It's like the first Jurassic Park film, it had its time and place and is hugely important historically but it's hard to revisit if you didn't play it at the time. DKC2 is everything good about the first game but expanded and made more challenging and is overall excellent, one of my favorite platformers of all time. DKC3 isn't bad but it's easily my least favorite, just kind really weird and gimmicky.

A lot of the good people at Rare left right around the Microsoft buyout or were making GBA and DS games.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
Blast Corps rules, Jet Force Gemini is good, DKC is fine, DKC2 is good, DKC3 is fine, Diddy Kong Racing is good, RC Pro Am is good, Conker is fine, Deus Ex is poo poo.

It's pretty clear that rare has made many decent and good games for two Nintendo systems and certainly contributed much more than many of Nintendo's current second party studio lineups.
