I saw a recent preview of the furry kind, and it seems like it's more than a remake at this point... but maybe I was wrong...
I dunno, anyway, Grabbed wasn't very good at all, combined with Star Fox Adventures it kinda shows what a rushed incomplete Rare game is like. Yes, I know SFA wasn't "rushed", but if they weren't sold, you just know they were going to delay it AGAIN so they could actually FINISH the game. Honestly, at this point I CHERISH Rare's delays. A delay may mean you get a game a year or two later, or more, but a bad rushed game is with you FOREVER, so GO AHEAD AND DELAY IT. I LEARNED my lesson Rare!
Now then, with the rushed or incomplete games as mediocre as they ended up, I don't mind the delays, and I think MS learned very well that they should actually go ahead and allow them due to the consequences of NOT allowing all these awesome things they wanted to add to be put in. I mean, as good as Kameo may or may not be if released on time, wouldn't you want the BETTER version even at the expense of waiting another year or so? Now then, that said, hopefully Kameo, a game that's been given the good grace of MORE than ample time for completion, will be a game that turns Rare around, as far as 3D games go (the GBA Banjo game is enough to tell me Rare can still make great games when given enough time, it's just that they are about the slowest company on Earth, or they are just AWEFUL at projecting completion times, considering we wouldn't really have a problem if they didn't announce a release date anyway :D.
So, after that lovely GBA game, I have enough faith in Rare to give Kameo, a game that really looks great, a chance. If in fact Kameo, after Rare was given all this time to complete it, ends up horrible, well, I guess we could then safely pronounce them dead as far as 3D (2D would be another story). If Kameo rocks, we can safely say Nintendo screwed up :D.
One thing's for sure, before Perfect Dark 0 is released on XBox 2 (heh), I am certain they will announce Master Chief, the creatively innert hero from the Halo series, will be a playable bonus cameo character in multiplayer. I HAVE SPOKEN!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
