Maybe Microsoft has asked them to produce another Perfect Dark game and they couldn't take it - enough is enough!

Is it not odd that Diddy Kong Racing for DS is being developed by Rare even though they're owned by Microsoft?

Really? I thought RARE weren't dealing with any Nintendo titles at all.

microsoft have no portable platforms, so microsoft game studios still make games for nintendo's (e.g. banjo pilot & sabrewulf for gba)

I wonder why RARE aren't doing anything for Wii then?

[Tom Scott]

Because the Wii directly competes with the 360 and Microsoft don't want that.
