Diddy Kong Racing on PS2?

The most insane rumours have circulated for a few weeks in connection with Rare, the studio of development fetish of Nintendo. Indeed, of many sources for some time advance a repurchase of the company by Activision!! An advertisement which, if it is confirmed, would make l.effet d.une bends when one knows the hits left the buildings of this brilliant British company. See to unload titles such as Banjoe - Kazooie or Perfect Dark on d.autres machines that those of Nintendo would not be taste of the Japanese giant who jusqu.à now benefitted exclusively from the talent from Rare. However, after a dumbness of a few weeks, a representative of Rare ended all the same up contradicting this repurchase at the beginning of week. Since, the debate would have thus logically to be closed. However, another rumour relating to Rare has just been born on the fabric: Diddy Kong Racing would become a title multi-platform! To l.origine, this play of race multijoueurs had left on Nintendo 64 and put in scene various characters of l.univers of Donkey Kong. Officially, the continuation was only in preparation on GameCube, but since aujourd.hui, it would seem qu.officieusement it can leave on PS2 and Xbox. As the licence Donkey Kong belongs to Nintendo, the name and the characters of the play will be different on the other consoles. The kits of PS2/Xbox development would have arrived since more than three months in the offices of l.entreprise.
Even s.il s.agit only d.une new rumour and qu.il is too early to confirm it or not. One can d.ores and to already affirm qu.un upheaval is in hand at Rare (you point out chart of v.ux of last Christmas). N.oubliez not either qu.il n.y never has smoke without fire ^ _ ^.

A promotional pamphlet detailing several yet-to-be-announced GameCube games has been leaked to the Internet. The pamphlet includes first official screenshots from Wario World, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Party 4, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Gladius, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, NBA Ballers, and NASCAR Thunder 2003. There are also updated screenshots from 1080: White Storm, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Star Fox Adventures, and more.
Notably missing from the pamphlet are several games that were shown at last year\'s E3 such as Kameo: Elements of Power and Donkey Kong Racing. We\'ll have more on Nintendo\'s E3 lineup when it becomes available.
Are these 2 games multi-platform maybe thats why they are not listed.
