Remember it? I didn't think that that game would actually come out here!

Thank you Jesus!

So Rare's still got an "in" with Nintendo! There's hope yet!

If Rare managed to gain full 3rd party status, full autonamy, that would be great for everyones!

[Great Rumbler]

The only way that would happen is if MS sold their Rare stock, which is a bit unlikely.

Thank you Jesus!

I remember you mentioning this game before and I looked for the old thread (linked the Japanese site and stuff), but couldn't find it... but yes, it's definitely a pleasant surprise. That and Contact. (Yggdra Union we already knew about...) :)

[The Former DMiller]

Yeah, Rare will continue to develop games for DS as long as Microsoft stays out of the handheld market, but I don't think we will see a Rare game on a home console besides XBox 360 this generation.

unless it's a character in Smash Bros

[A Black Falcon]

I bet that Banjo and Conker get removed from DKR, actually, to clearly separate the Rare-owned characters from the Nintendo ones...

[Sacred Jellybean]

Ahh, looks like they put Dixie in this one (she wasn't in the original). Wonder who else they'll add? I'd like to see Donkey Kong, and even Cranky Kong in there too.
