Nah, it's originally a N64 game. There was an attempt to bring a Diddy Kong Pilot to the GBA, but it got changed to Banjo Pilot and sucked.Reportedly, this port will have custom tracks. If so, I might actually buy it again.
Yeah, I kept on thinking to myself "if I ever owned an N64, I want it with Diddy Kong Racing". It's good to see it move to the DS, but I'm a little confused on how it's out there. Given that the original was made by Rare, what would you think will be of the use of Banjo, Conker and Tricky considering Rare's owned by Microsoft these days? Just curious, is all.
Microsoft has said in the past they have no problem making games for the GBA or DS, because they have no handheld system of their own. Then everybody started speculating about Halo Advance.
