I think maybe I'd limit my scope to those titles Nintendo handled that were created up to and including DKC, such as:
* Slalom (1987)
* R. C. Pro-Am (1988) (Tradewest distributed the sequel)
* Cobra Triangle (1989)
* Snake, Rattle & Roll (1990)
Not surprisingly, of course, at present all four of these currently reside with MS - as they all appear on Rare Replay.
Why did Nintendo sell off its stake in Rareware in 2002? Again, MS only acquired the non-Nintendo-owned IPs but did not retain the workforce.
