Interesting how the Wii's backstory unfolded like the PSX's back in the day, when Nintendo rejected Sony's plans for a CD add-on to the SNES which would eventually become the first PSX. Food for thought in all of this.
I used to get NP back in mid-90's throughout the N64 era..I used to love reading the Pak Watch section for the previews and such. I remember they sent VHS tapes a few times with footage of upcoming games...good memories.
No one's mentioned the awesome TANK TANK TANK!? This game was a blast in arcades, I'm so glad they're porting it to the WiiU...anyone who has never played it, I suggest you check it out!
Yes Rare's demise is sad indeed. From what I understand, much of Rare's old talent left to form Free Radical Design in '02 and would go on to make the Timesplitters games which were like the spiritual successors to Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. I'm thankful they gave us games like Battletoads, DKC, Goldeneye, etc. back in their heyday. Old Rare will always be amongst the greatest of game developers.
