BFD was a huge thorn in Nintendo's side, especially since it didn't sell well and cost a shit ton to market even though it was (technically) in development for 4+ years. I realize Nintendo helped to get the game to fail, but had they not changed the entire game design to "Reddiit: The Game" (contradicting not only Pocket Takes, but also DKC and references to Conker and Berry in B-K), Rare would most likely not have been sold and would have contributed greatly to the Gamecube's library, Star Fox Adventures arguably aside. Moreover, I would bet money that had Nintendo not sold their Rare share, most of the classical team would not have moved on from working there. Fucking Chris Seavor hasn't even made a game since BFD, for goodness' sake! And before BFDtards bring it up again, the multiplayer modes were already part of Twelve Tales (pic related). On the plus side, I strongly suspect Twelve Tales was finished in 1998 and that Rare still has it and will release/leak it someday, finally restoring the series canon which this released forced memeathon caused it to crash and burn.
