From what I heard, Nintendo bought back all the rights to the Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong stuff when they sold Rare. Diddy Kong Racing was announced a while ago, back at the Tokyo Game Show if I'm not mistaken...

Heh, I'll be dead by the time my art starts making money.
@Mega Flare
I've already made the mistake of spending loads of money just to play Gradius on whatever system it's on. Never again. Unless the price of the PS3 drops down to the $100s range, I can't do it. That, or unless a whole crapload of games I want come out on the system. Whichever one of those comes first will warrant a purchase from me. It doesn't hurt to hope for some ports, though!
I'm also looking forward to Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. on the Wii, and Megaman ZX2 on the DS (It hasn't been announced yet, but c'mon. It's Capcom. Releasing the first is like announcing the sequels for them.)
I'm also looking forward to Megaman X9 on whatever system it comes for, even though I'm frightened of Capcom ruining the series more... I'm hoping for the best.
