With this news now common-place, which Rare IP's would you like to see on the DS?
I don't think fans of the fighting genre are overly well catered for, so a Killer Instinct, perhaps?
A Banjo would go down extremely well, but a game from the Banjo team might be something Rare have for the 360.
Hopefully they don't just use the stylus for the sake of it and make a Mr. Pants game.
Jet Force Gemini could be quite good, and maybe they could port Perfect Dark across...
It's all too easy to port things, though... and I feel a new IP, designed from the ground up to incorporate all of the DS' features would be best.
Hopefully more will be revealed over time, but it's an exciting prospect.
Hopefully, after the so-so games on the XBOX, Rare can recapture some of the magic that was so abuntant in thier old N64 titles!
You thoughts?

On this subject, I'm with NGC/GameCentral (whoever mentioned it?) in that I'd absolutely love to see Blast Corps DS.
I remember buying the game for £5 off some kid in London somewhere - and instantly, after Ocarina of Time, it became my favourite N64 game!
(Of course, this was still long before I got my hands on Paper Mario and Mario 64 was now a great memory of gaming past).
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I'm sure you could make excellent use of the dual-screens in this game. Somehow...
Heck, I don't even care as the make it as lame as it was in The Sims DS - I just want to DESTROY things again!!! :D

I think both Kameo and PD0 are going to rock the socks!
PD0 won't be bad... it just won't be... And after seeing that Germany footage, Kameo looks like it could be one of the better launch games... Certainly in at least 4th place (behind, PGR, PD0 and maybe Ghost Recon 3).

Doesnt Kameo have a monster training element? maybe a DS trainer/caring game like Sonic Chao garden.
Well I really, really hope that Kameo and PD0 are good. If they are, then maybe, just maybe, I'll buy a 360.
Also, Rare have never really been good with portable games. This could all set to change though.

Well i'm looking forward to Kameo and Perfect Dark 0

Yeah, it was a straight port. Because they don't have anything to do with each other anymore, they couldn't work together to create additional features for the game, seeming that DK is a Ninty character.
Rare, I'm pretty sure, will do a balls up job with the DS games anyway. I really don't have any faith in them anymore, and that really pains me to say it, considering they were one of my favourite developers.
I never, ever thought I would be saying that aswell....

Let's just hope they manage to speed things up with the DS productions - we don't want to be waiting a whole generation for game that was originally down as a near-launch title for another format (Kameo).
With that said, they haven't been to bad with GBA games - even if some are SNES ports and, well, Pants really speaks for itself! :P

Cool.
Did they say when they'd release it (they'd have to be mad to turn down such an idea)?
