Yea, I knew Diddy Kong Racing is on DS. I just read somewhere that Diddy Kong was more shifty than Donkey Kong. Banjo and Conker are both in Diddy Kong racing, but their games ended up on XBL. I would like to know who owns the rights to Diddy Kong, He may have been created by Rare.
Edit: From wikipedia "Characters Conker the Squirrel and Banjo the Bear were replaced with characters Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong due to copyright issues with Rare, Ltd. after Microsoft bought the company from Nintendo in 2002."
So Rare would release Diddy Kong racing for DS, but had issues putting those two characters on there...odd?'
Also, Diddy is in SSB:B and Mario Kart, so he is owned by Ninty, I assume.
