I think you need to get your info correct.


Although job listings by a Microsoft-owned studio for DS developers would strike most as definitive proof that the company is making games for Nintendo's handheld, nothing is official...yet. When asked by GameSpot, a Microsoft spokesperson declined comment. "At this time, we have nothing to announce in regards to Rare developing titles for the DS," said the rep.

Ironically, the as-yet-unidentified DS games will not be the first that Rare has made for Nintendo. Prior to Microsoft's purchase of the studio, Rare was a Nintendo-only operation, making games exclusively for the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube before Microsoft bought it in 2002.

Since then, however, Rare has developed several games for Nintendo's other portable: the Game Boy Advance. However, these have largely been legacy deals to port existing Rare games, including last year's remake of its 1985 Commodore 64 game Sabre Wulf and the upcoming version of its 1996 SNES game Donkey Kong Country 3.


Microsoft may own Rare, but that dosent mean that Miscrosfot themself will have any direct involement with Nintendo or the DS. Further more, the Xbox 360 was designed to interact with Wifi and USB compatable devices.

So while the DS and Sony PSP wont be fully compatable with the Xbox 360, basic WIFI and USB device options will be.

Right now all this is, is rumors and bad ones. I dont see this happening any time soon.

I think they plan on adding support for the PSP aswell.

If they do, it's bound to get them some more potential customers.

And that means more money, so why wouldnt they?

I like how they treat Rare as if they're Microsoft developers. I know Rare is now, but they've been making Nintendo games - and only Nintendo games - since they first turned up. They did stuff for the SNES, for the love of Schrodinger!
