Gamespot article on DKR!
Rare is developing it. Wi-fi play! Touch screen and microphone usage.

Banjo Kazooie: Published by Nintendo. Owned by Rare.
Perfect Dark: Published by Rare (actually a ruse). Owned and used by Rare.
Krystal: The original star of the Rare-created Dinosaur Planet, which played host to Fox McCloud. Owned and used by Nintendo.
Conker: Created for Diddy Kong Racing, a Nintendo-owned "Donkey Kong game". Owned and used by Rare.
That's why Rare still likes Nintendo. Because they were fair about the split. Although I figured Diddy Kong Racing would be history because of it, since Banjo and Conker became owned by Rare (although Nintendo "censoring" Conker for future releases would've been priceless).
But hey, if Nintendo can give Cpt. Falcon to Sega, and Fox and Krystal to Namco, then I shouldn't have been surprised that they'd lend Diddy to Rare, or that Rare might lend Banjo and Conker to Nintendo (for the DS only), or that Konami would lend Solid Snake to Nintendo so that a guy who quit working for Nintendo can make Smash Bros.

TrueNerd: In my memory, Diddy Kong Racing had no boost at all, other than boost pads on the tracks...but I could be wrong, and that doesn't mean that there were no other ways to "cheat". Still, I'm pretty sure there's no snaking.
I wonder if they'll implement an online mode? I think DKR's strength was more in the single player game than multiplayer.

TrueNerd: Diddy Kong Racing has bananas laid out all over the course and picking them up adds to your top speed, and there are boost powerups, and stuff like that, so you need to decide which ones are worth going out of your way for. Assuming other characters don't beat you to them. IIRC.
There's no snaking. And there's no "rubber band" (which is where the computer players are allowed to defy the laws of physics and always hang on your butt, passing you if you make the slightest mistake, no matter how well you were driving beforehand). And the characters are fully polygonal, not made of five-frame sprites. DKR was much better than MK64, IMO.

also if you failed to put a copyright on a movie print when released it would become public domain instantly. This requirement was removed when they enacted United States' Berne Convention Implementation Act and Copyright Term Extension Act later on. This is why Night of the Living Dead is public domain.
