I've heard that Donkey Kong franchise is going back to Nintendo mother brain(two new DK games developed by Rare are being canceled) and all 'cos Rare is going multiplatform. I think, in my modest opinion that's not such a bad idea to start with. Didy Kong racing and Donkey Kong 64 were less than spectacular on N64 but not totally bad games , more like only so-so.
Rare couldn't make an interesting or decent looking game mascot to save their lifes. Talk about some questionable character design. All characters in Banyo Kazooe(Kablooe by some) look like Dysney rejectes at best. Anyway back to subject I just hope Nintendo will make some decent DK games, it being one of the oldest game franchise in video game history. Now remember
this is only a hear-say so if anyone has any info...
D.K.-Donkey Kong, D.K.-Donkey Kong,..... if he shots ya it gota hurt.........monkey rap.. la la la (not in that order but somthing like that) Anyway I love that song. It ooooozzzeees with style.

Rare is selling out. Thats what they are, a sell outs. God knows that they
are one of the slowest developers in game biz, but first when it comes to
game delay.(Perfect Dark). And now, when they are planing to develop
multiplatform who knows how much more time will it take for them to make a game. Anyway, I think Donkey Kong racing is coming out, just not by Rare.
Damn sellouts.

I just dont understand how anybody could slate RARE! Without them the N64 just wouldnt have been the same. I think its unthinkable(!) that they could be going multiformat, I mean its the Rare games that put a sock in the mouths of other less scrupulous console owners!!
Without the uniqueness of Rare on the Gamecube, it will be just another console. OK Zelda and Nintendo go hand in hand but to be honest the new look Zelda is hardly inspiring, especially when Nintendo are looking for the more 'mature' gamers to hop on board the Ninty train!
And I was sooooooooo looking forward to Donkey Kong Racing. And as for the feature in Cube magazine about the whole Rare thing, it left me more confused than I already was!
Someone PLEEEEASE tell us the trut. What is happening with Rare? Thats all we want is the truth. The whole truth and nothing but.
