Thank you for your e-mail. Although Nintendo doesn't comment on rumors Or speculation by the media, we can tell you that Nintendo has made the decision not to request Rare to make any further exclusive games for the Nintendo GameCube. Although we're proud of our joint efforts with Rare Over the years and have enjoyed our relationship with them, in fiscal year 2001, Rare accounted for only 9.5% of total Nintendo software revenue worldwide. In fiscal year 2002, that number declined to 1.5%. Therefore, in evaluating our investments in developers, as well as the financial benefits to Nintendo over the years, we've decided it's in Nintendo's best interests to focus On diversifying our portfolio of developers and projects.
Star Fox Adventures, which was jointly developed by Rare and Nintendo, Will launch as scheduled on September 23rd and will remain exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo's other great franchise characters such as Donkey Kong also will remain exclusive to Nintendo.
We have no additional details to share on this issue at this time...
Sincerely,
Nintendo of America Inc.

Bah! I'm waiting for an OFFICIAL announcement. Plus Rare make 1/2 (excellent yes,but not as good as Nintendo or Sega) games a year.

Sorry I have a fettish for rock being shoved up my buttocks, as long as it's well lubricated.
*Note* Was a joke. Please no gay replies, it hurts my feelings :)

sorry. i forgot to add the last part that Microsoft are VERY eager to buy into Rare, and in particular are looking to nab Kameo off us. And don't psshht me or I'll stick a rock up your behind.
That doesn't confirm anything. I take it you got that off IGN.com? Psh!
Doesn't confirm much, still it may mean I can still get my hands on any new Banjo game if they do it multi platform. Thing is it will be crappy conversions and make no use of the obvious superiority of Nintendo Gamecube ;)
