Microsoft owned UK studio suggests multi-platform future might be possible, might not

Rare winks at 3DS future

Though it’s now a wholly-owned Microsoft studio, UK developer Rare has hinted that it may yet return to rival platforms for future handheld projects.

“Banjo-3DSie confirmed!” the Rare blog reads. “Although by confirmed I do mean 100 per cent utterly speculative.

“We haven’t done much in the handheld ‘space’ since Donkey Kong Racing DS and Pocket Paradise – could we dip our toes in again at some point? Possibly. 3DS? Not for me to say. Bandai WonderSwan? No.”
