  I hope it's a Banjo-Kazooie or a Donkey Kong 64-like game. I loved those games...

  Cheers for editing it, and also giving hints that a Banjo-Kazooie game is in the weorks for it. Anyway, i hope its banjo-threeie. Go to www.banjothreeie.com - it redirects you to Rare.

  This rocks! I've always wanted Rare and Microsoft to develop for DS. ... And now it's M$ + Ninty vs. PSP. >:-)

  Awsome. I still want Rare to come back full time for Ninty though...but i guess that's not gonna happen. But the DS is a start :D

  They HAVE to make Banjo-Threeie, or I'll... I'll... spit on their shoes!

  Banjo Threeie would most likely appear on a M$ console. Honestly, I'd just be happy of they port their N64 gems to the DS.

  Yes! Oh, that reminds me! If they get Rare's permission, they could offer Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie as DOWNLOADABLE GAMES FOR REVOLUTION! And if they don't get Rare's permission, I'll keep sending Rare hate e-mails! Yay!
