Im pretty sure Nintendo holds the rights to all the Donkey Kong games, so DK64 would have a chance, but with the rumors of a DS remake I wouldnt expect it soon.
Nintendo is doing too well to have that other company provide them with even more ways to lure people to get the system. Making games for the DS is one thing because they don't have a handheld themselves but helping another console maker flesh out it's games list?
No..if were lucky we could see it come to Live...EazyD91
Not even close unless it's a completely remake because there's too much Donkey Kong 64 mentions.
There's also the big beaver on Banjo Kanzooie. It's the same beaver (as ennemies) on Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64. Since DKC is in the VC, Nintendo had licensed the character before.
Banjo is complex case. Much of the stuff in the banjo games for n64 has strong references to nintendo owned franchises. I don't think anyone can do anything with those old games anymore, they are stuck in legal limbo. Making sequels is ok, but releasing banjo 1 & 2 on xbox360 would be a legal challenge. Same deal with VC.

Will never happen.
I suppose that It's kinda helping the competition. But not in a large scale though. VC games aren't big titles nintendo relies on.
People seem to be forgetting that the Rare-owned game Jetpac was in DK64 (the game you played when you got 15 banana medals). This may prevent DK64 from being released for the Virtual Console...
I hope that Banjo-Tooie comes on the VC. I never had a chance to play it. But odds are it won't.HDShadow
I don't think it wil. Neither Kazooie for that matter, nor Conker, Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark or any other Rarewear IP (Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing I think are a bit of a grey area). Which is a shame because they're great. At least one can still find hard copies of them (if they're willing to play the sometimes non trivial asking price)
[QUOTE="jmsbond35"]Are we going to see Banjo-Kazooie or Banjo Tooie for VC? Or DK64? those games were awesome. If we're not, i'm getting a 64 again :)playstation_wii
maybe, since Nintendo does partially own those games

They don't own them at all.
The only one they own completely is Donkey Kong
oh, I thought they own it because it was on there platform
I'd like to see Nintendo stop giving Donkey Kong games a stupid catch to them. Can't we just get another Donkey Kong 64 style gameplay!?! I mean the Dk games are great i'm just sick of the stupid catches in each game. Example.... Use the bongos. King of Swing.All of that stuff.
Also do any of you think Banjo Three will be as good as the first two?
honestly, after this long, thats one of the only games i truly hope to live up to expectations... however, if it does, im gonna be shelling out $300 by then for it plus 360. oh well, it will be worth it
yea that sucks. well, time to check out the wallet and eBay for a 64... they're like 40 bucks! You'd think they'd be 20 considering I sold mine 2 years ago for 12 BUCKS. Damn you gamestop....

Even though I love Jungle Beat, I agree with you. I wish they would do a DK game without a gimmick.
About banjo 3, given that I don't have a 360 I kind of hope it's not very good :evil:
