Rare says no Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie on the VC for now, more

All of the information below comes from a huge “Scribes” update from Rare:

“No immediate plans to put Kazooie or Tooie on Virtual Console, as you might expect now that they’re both due out on Xbox Live Arcade.” – (Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie on VC)

“Nevertheless, requests for Banjo Pilot 2 don’t come along every day, even wholly impractical ones. Let’s see what someone who worked on the original game has to say on the matter:

‘No.’

I’m afraid I can’t clarify whether that’s ‘no’ to the inclusion of every single Banjo character, ‘no’ to any possibility of a sequel whatsoever, or just a “no” of quiet horror at your typing. – (Possibilities of Banjo Pilot 2)

“We have nothing to disclose on DS projects at the moment, but I’d say big brand spin-offs would be more likely than all-new properties, the DS market being so vast that the extra push of recognisable IP is often needed to help a title stand out. But who knows? One of our designers might come up with a brilliant idea for a stylus-controlled game about wafting aside clouds of cow flatulence, and we’d be off like a shot.” – (Future DS projects)
