Rare not quitting DS development forever, but they have temporarily moved on
October 4th, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Posted by ValayThis comes from the most recent Rare scribes mailbag we posted about a few days ago. This tidbit of information is worth mentioning, though:
“I don’t think it’s fair to assume that we’ve permanently quit DS development, but yes, we are focusing on other things at the moment. Natal is a pretty big deal and needs a lot of attention.”
Even though Microsoft acquired Rare in 2002, the company has produced content for Nintendo handhelds. I hope that we haven’t seen the last of Rare games for the DS, though. Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise, was an absolutely fantastic title and I’d like to see what else the developers could pull off on the system.

Well Rare needs to get on the ball & deliver by making N64 ports to the DS; need I explain why Banjo Kazooie won’t ever come to the VC & will forever be labeled onto the stinking XBox360 & cater to those rabbid fanboys… granted I’m not one of them!
I’m just hating myself for stating the obvious!
