Q18: The new Nintendo DS is coming out late this year. What are you guys' plans on porting any of your immensely popular N64 titles to the DS? *cough, oh god, I think I got strep throat! *cough cough* PERFECT DARK ON DS!! *cough*. After all, the DS will be Wi-Fi enabled. Imagine... playing Perfect Dark... online. Yum. (Brian)
A: Sounds cool, but we're not doing any DS games, are we? Or are we? Or... are we?
Oh, and the fact that the mail guy defends Ninty's new DK games is rad...

Anyway, it's interesting to hear their views on Nintendo and on future GBA games. Battletoads would be delightful! But it needs lots of levels and a save feature. I think Blast Corps might be very interesting on the DS...the weird vehicle controls and smashing techniques might translate to some clever touch-screen action.
Edit: It would make my LIFE a lot easier if the games turned out to be total crap? Man, I could be homeless or living in a war-torn country or dying of cancer. My life's already easy enough, but I don't want to be tempted by Xbox.

I heard a rumour on 1-Up.com (not sure how reliable it is) that a lot of Rare employees have bailed out of the company recently.
According to Gamasutra, large-scale walkouts occured a few months ago.Something to do with the management, if I remember correctly.
