Sorry that was poor, I mean Microsoft are supporting it in terms of office/windows or whatever it is they're working on.
RARE are merely porting GBA games over to Gizmondo.
If Microsoft were REALLY supporting Gizmondo surly they wouldn't release the GBA edition of the It's Mr Pants and Banjo Pilot??? They aren't out yet after all!
Why can't Microsoft support 2 handhelds?

Microsoft are supporting it in other departments?
Microsoft are mainly supporting it in the software department.
It looks incredibly likely that ports if N64 titles will be made on the DS, especially as Nintendo hold weight over DK64.
I'm hearing a bit of an ECHO! :-P
> There could well be a Perfect Dark DS!!!!
What is it with you and multiple puncuation lately? :S
Well there won't be as long as Microsoft stop Rare from supporting the DS. I doubt Rare don't support it out of choice, especially as most other major developers have had dev-kits for almost a year now? My guess is it's because MS are supporting Gizmondo. Maybe we'll see some Rare support when the Gizmondo totally fails.
Which means an announcement anyday now! :D
Or maybe MS will come round and let Rare devellop for the DS as well.
I think that Rare WANT to...
You kind of get that impression from the scribe whispers, don't you?

That is no consolation whatsoever!
Perfect Dark DS would have rocked though. :(

EA own the license to James Bond, not any particular movie, the entire Bond franchise.
That's the problem, Nintendo just bought the Goldeneye license.
If EA don't re-new the license Nintendo can grab the license for a single movie.
It's strange.
