Rare holds a special place in the hearts of many Nintendo gamers. Whether you fell in love with their quirky ways through Banjo-Kazooie or became infatuated with them after hours of Goldeneye multiplayer, there's no denying that they had a huge impact on gamers and Nintendo consoles. 

With that in mind, a fan asked them via their blog whether they had any plans for 3DS. Rare have made a few titles on Nintendo handhelds such as Diddy Kong Racing DS and Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise. 

Sadly it seems that, for now at least, we won't be seeing anything on the 3DS though they say that's "not an outright denial".

No 3DS plans have been announced, and I’ve heard nothing along those lines, though of course that’s not an outright denial as there are bound to be all sorts of things going on at a high management level that most of us know nothing about (and, conversely, things we do hear that are apparently not true at all – those personal hovercrafts are taking far longer than expected). So that’s the best you’ll get for now. Thanks for the reminder to nick my son’s 3DS and have a stab at Kid Icarus though.

Do you hope that Rare will make a new title for 3DS? Recent rumours suggested that Nintendo are trying to buy back rights for Banjo-Kazooie though this is highly unlikely.
