Banjo Kazooie, other Rare classics coming to VC?

In a recent post answering fan questions on the Rare Ltd. site, the development team dropped some hints as to what may be in store for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console as far as games and development are concerned.

Teases on a possible release of the Nintendo 64 hit Banjo Kazooie and quite possibly Viva Pinata were made, with rare saying that at this point “there’s always a chance.”

The developers, however, made it clear that Nintendo will always have the last say on what gets released in Virtual Console and said that, “beyond the Donkey Kong Country games we don’t have anything in the pipeline at the moment, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in future.”

Banjo Kazooie for the Nintendo DS was revealed to have been worked on but was dropped in favor of the Xbox 360 version. Rare devs said that they favored the new approach but did not waive the possibility of the project coming to life in the future.

Rare also said that the Viva Pinata project for the Nintendo DS is coming along fairly well. The devs commented that “we can bring across properties other than those owned by Nintendo, so we’ll leave you to wonder what’s coming after Viva Pinata DS.”
