Nintendo Sells Rare Stock
It is now official that Nintendo has sold it's 49% ownership in the U.K. company Rare. The buyer has not been officially announced, but Nintendo had planned to sell the stock to Microsoft. Nintendo, however, will retain all rights to the original characters that have appeared in Rare games, so Donkey Kong and Star Fox will not be showing up on the XBox any time soon. We will post up the name of the company that has purchased the stocks as soon as it's released. I am sure you are all crossing your fingers that we will be seeing Perfect Dark on the XBox sometime soon.Source: http://www.xboxaddict.com/
