Rare Shows Off Portable Mr. Pants

Posted by simoniker on from the modeling-underwear dept.

Thanks to IGN Pocket for its article revealing more details on Rare's Game Boy Advance puzzle title It's Mr. Pants, a THQ-published game from the now Microsoft-owned UK developer which is "the revival of... a Donkey Kong-branded puzzle game titled DK Coconut Crackers." The title, "a traditional puzzle game in the Tetris sense", includes "crazy, tripped out imagery and music, complete with Mr. Pants singing between levels" - there's more information on 'The History Of Pants' over at fansite Rare-Extreme.

    Donkey Kong was Nintendo's IP. Since MS bought Rare, is Nintendo still allowing them to use Donkey Kong IP for gba games?
