So how come Rare only had Starfox to show for the Gamecube?

A year ago they also had Kameo and Donkey Kong Racing, so what has become of these games?

Starfox has seen shocking delays, and I fear that these other two projects have been put on the back-burner until Starfox is done, I hope they don't get scrapped altogether though, DKR looked great fun.

Also, with only one game on show, surely it again calls Rare's future with Nintendo into question?

Anyone know for sure what's going on with Kameo and DKR?

There's nothing wrong with Starfox but it is a bit dissapointing to see only 2/3 games from a top development team - especially a UK-based one doing so well worldwide!

I just hope that they're using this time to get the likes of Perfect Dark Zero finnished by x-mas this year, and that they're making Starfox Asdvanetures: Dinosaur Planet twice the game that people have seen it at, at E3!

As for Donkey Kong Racing, I spose it's a Mario Kart alternative, and it's pretty original in the GameCube's standards as you get to ride animals and not vehicles and karts.

Space World is a Japanese event.

Expect a big surprise from Nintendo (last year we were shown initial footage of Mario Sunshine and Cel Shaded Zelda) but not much from Rare.

Rare are more likely to show off on their home turf in the UK.

When is Spaceworld? Is that the Nintendo only event, perhaps Rare will surprise us there.

All we've seen of DK Racing is an FMV clip.
Infact, we're pretty clueless to what the real thing is like.

Kameo we saw a little bit of, and if it's improved anywhere near as much as Starfox Adventures has...

Perhaps they're being saved for ECTS, leaving us a few surprises and preventing these titles being over shadowed by the likes of Mario and Zelda.

Rare are extremely secretive, we all know that. My guess is they plan to spring it on everyone closer to the games being finished and ready for release.

We all remember the deal with Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 so who knows.

Maybe they are hard at work at quiet a few games? But want to save the excitent of showing it till later. You wanna keep some aces up ya sleeve innit?

Nintendo have a pretty good release scheldule for the Cube with Mario sunshine, Wario, Metroid, Zelda, Starfox, Eternal Darkness all out within the next 9 months. Then you got a load of third party titles such as Resident Evil, Timesplitters 2 etc...But after this it may be a bit quiet and perhaps thats when Rare will fully come into play?

Maybe eh?
