Ok, I made that title up... But my question is:

I heard a rumour that cube would get a Donkey Kong game (not Donkey Konga) , like Donkey Kong Country. Obviously this one wouldn't be made by Rare, but is this true? Cheers!

I have also heard the rumours. And that it would be developed by Namco.

Nintendo a few years ago at the sale of Rare stated they are working in house on a new Donkey Kong game.

Other than the likes of Mario Vs. Donkey Kong on the GBA we have yet to see this as Donkey Konga is not an in house production.

Nintendo have released ALL their most popular game series' on the Gamecube now, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Mario, Zelda and Metroid it is probably about time they released the only AAA title they have but haven't produced yet.

What ever it was, it won't be released by Rare on the cube...

Yeah, Donkey Kong Racing looked excellent, the perfect sequal to Diddy Kong Racing for the N64, which really was a classic game.

Well then you were to be dissapointed as the sequel to Diddy Kong Racing was Mickey Mouse Adventure Racing and Donkey Kong Racing was in fact a game about raising your animal to be the perfect racer.

I'm not stupid I didn't say Rare would be making the game, I said Nintendo would in house.

Rare haven't made a good DK game in a VERY long time.

It was?

*dies*

Oh, and when you say Mickey's Adventure Racing do you actually mean the exceedingly average Mickey's Speedway that RARE released towards the end of the N64's lifespan?

Also, I might add that if Nintendo do make a Donkey Kong game, it will not feature Lanky, Tiny, Chunky, or any other recognisable characters that featured in the great Donkey Kong 64. RARE still hold the rights to these few Donkey Kong related characters, allthough I highly doubt they will use them. That is perhaps why DK Racing was dropped, and why none of these characters feature in Donkey Konga.

who cares?....Lanky, Tiny and Chunky were awful anyway, they were rip-offs of Manky Kong, Dixie Kong and Kiddie Kong....who were much better anyway.(why couldn't Rare have just used those characters in DK64?)
