A recent interview with the GBA team at RARE WARE studio's couldn't fail to make me smile.

The team are responsible for Saburewulf, Banjo-Kazooie: Gruntilda's Revenge and the 2 Donkey Kong Country ports... they are currently working on "It's MR. PANTS!" and "Banjo Pilot".

They commented how they worked closly with Nintendo regarding the Country ports as Nintendo were the exclusive publisher. Which brought a smile to my face. The other GBA titles are of course published by THQ but a question on everyones lips is whether or not the fantastic GBA team would create anything for the Nintendo DS. Well the question came up.
.............................


Q18: The new Nintendo DS is coming out late this year. What are you guys' plans on porting any of your immensely popular N64 titles to the DS? *cough, oh god, I think I got strep throat! *cough cough* PERFECT DARK ON DS!! *cough*. After all, the DS will be Wi-Fi enabled. Imagine... playing Perfect Dark... online. Yum. (Brian)

A: Sounds cool, but we're not doing any DS games, are we? Or are we? Or... are we?



Don't you just love Rare.

Bottles was a ghost throughout tooie so what exactly was the point in killing him off.

Apparently it goes in the middle of Tooie and Kazooie. Doesn't make much sense though if she it rescued from the rock, unless she gets squashed in exactly the same place by exactly the same boulder at the end of the game.

I thought it was an alternate version - as Grunty is rescued from the rock...

That was set in between the two N64 titles, though.

I don't find Bottles as annoying as that stupid military guy, though.

Bottles was an idiot, Rare killed him off because everyone compained that he was annoying.

Tooie was genius!

You're just bitter because Bottles died. I must have cried for hours after that intro. :'-(
