THQ To Release Rare GBA Games

Thanks to GameSpot for their news that THQ has acquired the worldwide rights to distribute a number of GameBoy Advance games from Microsoft's Rare studio. Although the famous English developer was acquired by Microsoft last year, they're still making games for Nintendo's handheld, and according to GameSpot, "The games included in the agreement are Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Sabre Wulf, Banjo Pilot (formerly Diddy Kong Pilot), and a previously unannounced game entitled It's Mr Pants - no doubt starring the bowler-hat-and Y-fronts-wearing moderator of the reader's letters-style "Pantsboard" on Rare's official Web site."

Too Little, Too Late

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure I trust Rare as a developer anymore... After the travesty that was Star Fox Adventures, I'm seriously considering just plain passing over any of their GBA releases without a second glance. They had their time in the sun, and now it's time for them to move on.

That said, a GBA port of Killer Instinct probably would tempt me.
