Looks like Microsoft would rather see Nintendo triumph in the handheld market than Sony, as they are allowing Rare to release 4 new games for the GBA.
The previously-dead Diddy Kong Pilot has now turned into Banjo Pilot, seeing as Nintendo own the rights to all Donkey Kong stuff. Sounds basically like the same game just without Diddy, which in some ways is excellent news. Should be interesting to see if Rare still use motion sensors to turn the GBA into a steering wheel, as was the plan before.
Sabre Wulf returns in an new adventure, playable in that weird isometric view. Looks to be a good mix of adventuring and puzzling. Again one of those titles that was thought to have been lost to Microsoft.
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge is also still in development. Details are still scarce about this title, but what is even odder is the announcement of a brand new game - It's Mr Pants. Whatever the hell this turns out to be is anyone's guess, but it's a safe bet it will feature the Mr Pants of the RareWare website of old. One to keep an eye on, I reckon.

Knowing Rare's fondness of copying Nintendo's games, I'm betting on Mr Pants jumping on the Wario Ware Inc. bandwagon.
Not particularly bothered about Banjo Pilot and SabreWulf... but Grunty's Reveng? Oooooh yes, this is THE GBA game that I've waited years for and thought I'd never ever see. I'd kiss Bill Gates if I didn't think I'd get acne.
