In an interview with Gamasutra, software engineer James Thomas and designer Justin Cook discussed the possibility of future Rare titles on Nintendo consoles.
If Rare is still working on some Nintendo ports that are actually Nintendo properties, does that mean you can still revisit those series, like Donkey Kong Country, or Killer Instinct?
JT: Nintendo like us to do the ports of the games that we did for them for their format.
We’ve done the Donkey Kong Country remakes because [Rare] was the home of it. Nintendo have asked us to do those. I think there’s still a really good relationship between Rare and Nintendo. Yeah, we get on really well.
Pretty bland answer, but he does admit that the possibility is there. Donkey Kong Country 4 really needs to happen.
