I played the crap out of KG Jr winning run back in the day and loved the DKC trilogy but N64 Rare is unmatched.

I find Rare's n64 stuff to be borderline unplayable these days, they just feel so bloody janky and unresponsive. The fact they run at 7 FPS doesn't help matters much.
Mind you i don't like their SNES stuff either - i loved DKC as a kid in 94 of course coz the graphics and music blew my tiny timmy socks off, but replaying them as a grown up was a huge eye opener.

Nintendo absolutely did the right thing palming them off to Microsoft.

Most people don’t even know Rare made any of those non-DKC games on your SNES list.

Rare is synonymous with N64. It isn’t even close.

DKC 1/2 is their highest peak, so I vote SNES

I would personally choose NES over SNES or N64. Wizards & Warriors trilogy, Marble Madness, R.C. Pro Am, Battletoads (and Double Dragon), Cobra Triangle, Captain Skyhawk, Snake Rattle & Roll, and Solar Jetman. That's some crazy good output. There were some stinkers in there, but that applies to every excellent game dev.

The SNES had better games but for Rare the N64 was a phenomenal showing.

We need to go back to smaller productions. There are so many talented people in this industry wasting away years of their lives making a tiny contribution to a single, bloated project that may not even end up seeing the light of day. It's an enormous waste for everyone.
We have single games today taking 8 years, with teams that are 10 times larger or more, and it only guarantees the end result will be an unwieldy mess.
