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.

Tooie is fantastic. I'll admit I prefer Kazooie (not sure why), but Banjo-Tooie is still a classic.
Don't you EVER say that.
Tooie was genius, probably the best game I've ever played.
Anyway been leafing through Rare's letters page on their website and it looks highly likely that there will eventually be another Banjo game, but as usual they're giving their amazingly vague reply's.

After Tooie I frankly wouldn't care if Banjo Pilot was the last in the Banjo franchise.

I wish.
Just the slightest mention of that game would be enough to bring back my faith in Rare. To be honest I want Threeie more than I want any other game on any console, yes that includes Halo 2 and Zelda.

Can't wait for 'Conker, live and lewd.'

Yep, as NGC said last issue, about this quote from Microsoft: "Rare have no plans at the moment to work for the Nintendo DS", you gotta love the "at the moment".
Personally, I can't see it happening though.
