Rare have given us great games such as Perfect Dark, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Banjo-Tooie, Diddy Kong Racing and Goldeneye for our N64s. It’s therefore no surprise that Rare have big plans for Nintendo’s latest machines the GameBoyAdvance and the successor to the N64 the GameCube.
So what can we expect, well I went over to Rare's official website to find out.
The GameBoyAdvance can expect a number of top games from Rare, which include the following:
Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers - A puzzle game for your GameBoyAdvance.
Diddy Kong Pilot - Diddy Kong Racing on the small screen.
Banjo Kazooie: Gruntys Revenge - Banjo and Kazooie star in their first 2D platformer.
Sabre Wulf - The original Saber Wulf appeared on the Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad, BBC way back in 1984. This game should be a vast improvement over the original and will be out next year.
The GameCube can also expect a number of great titles, including:
Diddy Kong Racing - All the fun of the N64 with so much more, bigger more breathtaking environments teeming with wildlife for you to race around, and of course explore in the single player mode. Unfortunately well have to wait till 2001 for this one (Hopefully it will be ready for the European GameCube launch).
Kameo: Elements of Power - This looks set to be one of Rare's finest games to date. In this adventure game you take on the role of Kameo a young girl who can take control of all manner of beasts and animals in order to aid her in her quest for the six elemental children. This is shaping up to be one of the best and most original games the GameCube will have on offer.
Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet - Dinosaur Planet was originally pencilled in as a N64 title. However as the game developed Nintendo made a proposition to Rare, a deal was struck and Dinosaur Planet has become the latest game in the StarFox series. The deal means that you'll now take control of Fox McCloud in an Adventure game that everyone is sure to want come November (When its released in the US). StarFox veterans will also be pleased to know that the Arwing will make an appearance in this game to as a few of the missions will require Fox to take to the skys. This will be Rare's first release for the GameCube and will therefore be a showpiece game that takes full advantage of the GameCube's increased power.

Im just to excited about DiddyKongPilot the screenshots on the Rare website look amazing. This game may even be better than MarioKartAdvance when it comes out, with built in TILT technology that allows you to tilt your GameBoyAdvance to stear your vehicle this will certainly be original.
I've just tried to claim it as my Gameaday prize which I won on the 18th May, hopefully theyll let me claim it (it isnt on the release schedule). Although my backup game is Sonic advance which is looking pretty sweet too, I loved the racing mode (Sonic vs Tails) on Sonic 2, hopefully the GameBoyAdvance version will be far superior allowing four people to play at once. :-)

The sequel to Perfect Dark is shrowded with mystery, Rare have copyrighted the name After Dark and so some believe that is what the title of the sequel will be.
I believe that Nintendo and Rare are being very quiet about Perfect Dark (After Dark), this is probably because its going to be a must have game and GameCube only. As such Nintendo and Rare wont want the games secrets getting out to early.
Perhaps the sequel will make use of the GameBoyAdvance as a controller, or maybe a GameBoyAdvance Camera will be released to allow you to take a picture of your own face and then load it via the GameBoyAdvance into the game.
Its to early to tell what Rare have planned, but its sure to be something special.

Remember when Goldeneye was getting old and PD was on the horizon, Rare released some button codes for GE to spice the game up? I'll hope they do the same with PD.

Naa, I don't think it'll be a launch game, otherwise Nintendo will hype it up mad because of the publicity it can generate.

Thanks Spock, I mean Rik for spotting that mistake. Its Donkey Kong Racing on the GameCube.
Unfortunately there werent any details about the sequel to PerfectDark on the site, although Im sure it will be a great game. Perhaps its being kept a secret so it can be a suprise launch game?
Personally Im looking forward to Diddy Kong Pilot on the GameBoyAdvance, it'll incorporate tilt technology so you can fly you plane by moving your GameBoyAdvance, very exciting indeed. :-)
