Just the other week I wrote a short piece about Rare, their journey to becoming Nintendo affiliated developers, and the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy for my Japanese students.
I haven't been sure if they'd have any interest in it, but this article gives me some hope that they might when I give it to them.
I remember this being reported in the magazines in this original guise, then it disappeared for a long time, to reemerge as a game with one of the best multiplayers ever.

Re: Rare Co-Founder "Always Intended" Banjo-Kazooie To "Grow" As A Franchise
like Earthworm Jim, had the potential to be one of the best trilogies ever. Such a shame.
Saying that, Grunty's Revenge is a little underrated and should be on NSO.
