Why won't they make this game? Who wouldn't buy it? You guys are probably going to say I wouldn't buy it because I suggested people would buy it, but seriously Super Mario 64 DS sold good, why not Donkey Kong 64? And I'm sure they have rights from Microsoft to make it.
Rare developed the game. If it was released/ported to the DS, it would be a collaboration between Nintendo and Rare, like Diddy Kong Racing was.JDUB_x
Actually, since Nintendo has the full rights to the Donkey Kong series, they could make the game alone. After all DK64 is coming to the Wii's VC with no involvement from Rare. I think they just chose to involve Rare in DKR for the DS, or, more likely, the game was actually Rare's idea.
Technically donkey Kong is a Nintendo character so whatever Nintendo wanted to do with him is up to them, but because Rare didi develop DK64 they'd need rights. Hence the same reason Banjo Kazooie's coming out on the 360.

Damn you Rare.

DK is owned my Nintendo. Banjo is owned by Rare which means BK is on the 360. Nintendo can publish Rare games on other consoles without Rares permission as they own the characters thus DKC on the Wii.
What I meant was that Nintendo would probably want Rares help in porting it to the DS because the developed the original in the first place.
Nintendo does own the rights, so If they wanted to do it without Rare, they legally could, but it would be much easier with the original development team.
Rare games aren't selling like gangbusters on Xbox consoles. I think MS is getting them into DS game development to make some cash. Plus, if they did release Kameo and other Rare games on the DS, it would build a fan base for a possible future Xbox handheld.

That would be true if the original development team still worked at Rare. Most of the talent at Rare left around that time, so it's doubtful that the original team still works there. However, I can't say for sure who would have access to the original code, Nintendo or Rare, so if Rare still had the original code, than it would definitely be easier with their help.

My, my, my... aren't WE negative?
Yes, I'd buy a Donkey Kong DS game... whether it's a port of 64 or a -- GASP! -- new game. They keep peddling stupid spin-off garbage and forget that the reason anyone even looks at them is because they liked the original series that featured these characters.
I heard that the game was ruined by certain things you must do with the styles... I personly own and love the N64 version. I was gonna buy this game but its just bad...
has anyone considered the fact the game may not be that good? rare has already broken parts of diddy kong racing ds with touch screen functionality. now I'm not saying that rare wouldn't learn their lesson from DKR because there are a bunch of other factors like DK 64 having to many graphical effects to easily port the engine to the DS and I'm sure they'd have to start manufacturing 2 giga-bit cartridges to contain the game (by the way can anyone let me know if their going to start doing that.) DK 64 was a great game but I'd much rather buy new IT or games then a rehash of yesterdays crap (unless it's resident evil :D)

M64DS sold well because: a) It was the only good launch game b) Everyone knows and loves Mario 64 to death. The same isn't true for DK
Doesnt rlly matter about making everything 3d i rather play the classics but if they're able to add new better things with the wifi then thats awesome.
DK64DS would sell decently, not crazy off the shelves wise though. They should remake all three Donkey Kong Countrys for the DS similarly to what they did with Yoshi's Island DS.
Could the DS handle a game as massive as DK64, though...? They had to tone down parts of Mario 64, afterall, and DK64 is gigantic compared to Mario - the N64 required the expansion pack to play and everything..
Just a thought. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if this happened simply because of how deep DK64 was and the number of things to do and collect in it.
I absolutely hated Donkey Kong 64. The whole process of collecting X amount of items to progress (like Mario64) just didn't work well for the Donkey Kong series. I'd rather see a modern game that plays more like Donkey Kong Country for the SNES.Â

I wouldn't. I'd rather something I haven't played before. If you want a port, go download it. (VC of course)
I heard DK64 was not very good because you had to collect so many darn bananas. Mario 64 was awesome but I'd rather see Super Mario Sunshine done on the DS than DK64..
i beat this game and i really liked it but it was very hard to control even for the control stick so the d-pad wouldnt do very well and the game needed an expansion pak so i think the ds cant hold all of the game
DK64 is a very cool game, but if for example they release it on the DS, I don't think I'll buy it because it might be hard to view the angles in the games and also it will be a little hard finding all collectibles items in the game due to the small size of the DS screen, but if they release it on the VC, there will be a 85% chance that I'll buy it :D
Because the DS is more or less out of the stage where it takes in ports/"remakes" as its main source of games...every now and then, garbage like the Chrono Trigger "remake" pops up though.
