Microsft should do it. If they start porting the N64 banjo kazooie game to DS (with small extras, kinda like super mario 64 DS minus the mini games) now, it could come out in time for the holidays next year. Then people would buy it, like it, see there is a 360 version, see the 360 is only $200 (or whatever the core is at that point) and buy a 360. Or if Banjo kazooie 3 bombs or is canceled, Microsft can make alot of money on a DS version. I would anticipate 800-1200K WW lifetime sales, which would probably help Microsft make back the moeny on their Rare purchase.

What do you guys think? 

Gah! You suck.

I thought this was a confirmation.

Yes, they should do it...of course I'd rather have it on Wii's VC, and that certainly seems less likely.

What I can see happening is Banjo Kazooie being released on XBLA, and then shortly afterward it would go to DS...for a short term of Microsoft exclusivity...it would certainly draw a few in who have been wanting this game back.

oh my god you made my heart go boom boom for nothing!

The last handheld banjo kazooie sucked..

Banjo Kazooie was and still is awesome. I about shit myself when i saw this thread to. grrrrrr!

DS version great. VC version, cheaper and even better.

 Banjo pilot? Or gruntys revenge? can't rember which was the last. Anyway, this would be on better hardware of the GBA, and a port of banjo kazooie, so it wouldprobably get a 6-9 out of 10, dpending on wether they bothc it, or do a solid port job.

Im i right in thinking that Diddy Kong Racing did really well on ds?

Rare would do so much better back with nintendo, especially with a little help from nintendo to get them on the right track.

 Hmmm... Rare needs it more than Nintendo. And doesn't Microsft own 51% of Rare?

Microsoft owns*

Rare only makes Nintendo games for the DS since Mircosoft isn't in the handheld business.
